Piss on my head and tell me it's raining

[vellocet]

What's a translation for "don't piss on my head and tell me it's raining!" Purpose: I have been looking for a new apartment and these agents tell me all sorts of ridiculous stories in utter pathetic attempts to get me to rent an entirely unsuitable apartment. "Oh, that moldy fridge? Just give it a rub with a washcloth and it'll be fine! It won't stink permanently or anything!" I need to shut them down. If it's a chengyu that's fine, if it's a sentence that's fine too, anything but a literal translation.

They. Will. Never. Stop.

Just say 別把我當傻瓜.

Try "靠谱一点，好不好！"

[anonymoose]

Try 别这么自欺欺人了，好不好？

I don't know, though...it may be a bit strong for this situation.

[semantic nuance]

Or 你這不是睜眼說瞎話嗎?!

[skylee]

But the agents are not trying to 自欺, they just want to 欺人.

OK, maybe I misunderstood 自欺欺人 then. But under what circumstance would someone 自欺?

[skylee]

When a girl tells her parents/friends that her boyfriend will soon divorce his wife and then marry her, it is likely to be a 自欺欺人 case.

PS - also this song (although it is subject to interpretation) ->

OK, I get it, although I would think that's more a case of 自欺 than 欺人.

[skylee]

Well you asked about 自欺 ... and he is asking her to go away you see. Glad that you got the meaning.

My firsr reaction would be : 你当我白痴吗? or 你当我傻子吗? But it disgraces myself as an idiot!

On second thougt, I'd rather say: 你这是睁眼说瞎话.
