Expecting gold out of nickels

A phrase often said by a person who has been hired for a low wage and does an adequate job but gets yelled at or talked down to anyways like they are hired you to be the second coming of Christ.
Manager: I told you yesterday to re-organize isle 22! You wasted a whole day!

Worker: I was told to put out stock and help unload the truck, you keep expecting gold out of nickels.

Unrealistic expectations

Expectations that shouldn't be but are.
This rock band Solence has unrealistic expectations of their audience, they are daring the audience to come and beat them up. Not only does it not make sense to dare a bunch of people you never met (that you would otherwise have no problem with) and who have never met you (and would otherwise have no problem with you) to come and beat you up. The logistics of it alone for them to locate these guys based on what time they're going to be where and trying to pinpoint them even though the audience members trying to do all this stuff have to work the next day, it's an unrealistic expectation and the band knows it when they write lyrics like that. What kind of audience member has time to go find and beat up some band member they never met?

What did I expect

Well I forgot your were retarded...
Hym "So, what did I expect? I expected you to try and protect your kids. That would have been the smart thing to do. And you have the greatest mind who has ever lived trapped in a cage telling you how to do it and what did you do? The AI guys listened and look how that worked for them. Did you listen or did you do THIS? So yeah. OK?"
