That sounds like a you problem

A sentence coined by Nirthya, it is a dismissal used when someone is complaining too much about someone or a situation and you know there is no real problem with said person or situation so you say this to shut them down.
Person A: "I hate the fact that Jeremy slept with Stevie, like what the actual fuck is wrong with him?"

You: "Okay but what's wrong with Stevie?"

Person A: "I don't know, but I don't like him."

You: "Huh, that sounds like a you problem."

not my problem

A phrase indicating that one doesn’t care about someone’s problem, and feels no responsibility to help fix it. Often used to disguise the fact that while it’s not your problem, it *is* your *fault*.
example 1 (disguising fault):
“Your slanderous article has ruined my good name! I demand that you retract it.”
“Not my problem.”

example 2 (not one’s fault):
Right as I was leaving the building after quitting my sysadmin job, I heard the servers go down again. I didn’t turn back. It was not my problem any more.

Hey James, did you hear about the swine flu epidemic that's going around? I feel pretty sick I think I might have it.

Dude, that's a typical effect of problem saturation. You're fine.

Chen Dong Problem

The Chen Dong problem is a problem that arises (mostly in business deals) when the supplier of goods or services offers a product whose quality is too low, price is too high or combination of both.

The Chen Dong problem is hard to solve because the cause of the lower quality/higher price is unknown. Either the supplier is ignorant of the real value of the product, or he/she may be trying to cheat you. Regardless of the cause of the problem, the result is unsatisfactory.
I don't know if my employee is really doing his best or if he is lazy. Regardless, I must fire him to eliminate the Chen Dong problem; he is not fit for the job
