I don't know what to tell you

A phrase used to tell another person to politely say, "I have no interest in continuing this conversation or listening to you complain." In its hardly ever used long form, it would be used as, "I don't know what to tell you to get you to shut up." Extensively used when people present you with a problem, you offer advice to them on viable solutions, but they come up with excuses why they can't follow your advice.

Person A; "complain, complain, complain. My car broke and I can't get to work now. And boss says he'll fire me if I miss another day!"
Person B; "Take the bus."
Person A; "There's no bus route within a quarter mile, and my feet hurt so much."
Person B; "Take a cab."
Person A; "I can't afford a cab with these car repair bills!"
Person B; "I don't know what to tell you."

"There's something I need to tell you" drama

Typical (usually teen) melodrama where nearly every episode includes the phrase "There's something I need to tell you". The "something" usually involves a previous lie, backstab, pregnancy, or other misdeed.

"I can't believe I just watched 7 episodes of 90210 in a row!"
"That's pretty sad... what do you think is wrong with you?"
"I don't know... I think I'm addicted to "There's something I need to tell you" dramas."
