A taste of their own medicine !!!
Lee Why are you looking so upset, Donald
Donald I've just had an encounter with a very rude and unreasonable man. Can you believe it ? I was waiting for my wife to come out of a shop when a van drew up behind me. He started hooting at me and tried to squeeze past my car. Unfortunately, he scraped the side of my car and scratched it.
Lee So, what did you do ?
Donald I got out to talk to him. Well, to my great shock, he also got down, holding an iron pipe !
Lee My goodness ! Did he hit you with it ?
Donald No, but he hit my car with it. Then, he marched off.
Lee Did you take down his license plate number ?
Donald No, I was too shocked to do anything.
Lee That's a pity. Otherwise you could report him to the police.
Donald I think I too should carry around an iron pipe. Then, I can give the road bullies a taste of their own medicine.
Explanation :
 
give sb a taste of their own medicine - to treat someone as badly as they have treated you
 
 
 

 

On the verge of bankruptcy

We slept through our alarm

Things look pretty pricey

These things are name brands

All messed up

You'll see the light

Have a one-track mind

Put you out

Get decked out

Keep up with

I'm beat

Get a load of that

Brain freeze

When it comes to haggling

It seems to be catching on

I'm up for that

I'll pass
