Let me fall into the koi pond

The failure on a friend's part to step in and prevent a terrible situation from happening. In most instances, the friend not only fails to prevent the situation from happening, but makes an observable effort not to help. This is an allusion to The Office Episode where Jim leans back and allows Michael Scott to fall into a koi pond.

Dude I can't believe you didn't do anything back there. Way to let me fall into the koi pond, "friend"

busier than a cat trying to bury a turd on a frozen pond

A phrase your grandparent might use to describe being busy with a futile, impossible, or endless task.

Cats like to cover their feces, but if they've done their business on a frozen pond, no matter how long they try to dig up something to cover it with, their paws will always slide on the ice. The joke is the mental image of a cat making the digging motion on ice for a long time.

I don't know why I keep weeding that garden. I've been busier than a cat trying to bury a turd on a frozen pond, but I tell you what, there's gonna be just as many dandelions tomorrow.
