Phrases that Annoy You

"can't see the forest for the trees"

WTF does this even mean?! Even if it does have actuall meaning, it's so stupid you should just find another way to say what you are trying to say.

It means you can't see the big picture (the forest) due to being so focused on the small details (the trees).
