"You make a better door than you do a window." ...Anytime we got in front of the TV.
In France we say "Ton père est pas vitrier" ~"Your father isn't a window maker".
Same in Austria but passiv-aggressivly framed as a rhetoric question: "War dein Vater ein Glaserer?"
My youngest brother upon hearing that for the umpteenth time from our Grampa, decided to get clever and half-bent to throw over his shoulder with a smirk "Then, use the keyhole."
I never saw the old man leap out of his recliner so fast, and to this day I think that little smartass is still looking over his shoulder for that righteous comeuppance. 😱
