piss down my leg

if you are being constantly bitched at you have to "piss down your leg" so you don't make any nose when you pee because you might get bitched at for that too.

My girlfriend is always bitching at me, I pretty much have to piss down my leg so that doesn't make her mad too.

piss on my leg, and tell me it's raining

Disbelieving response to an attempt to mislead, equivalent to: "pull the wool over my eyes"

You tell me that you've worked as an airline pilot and a surgeon, too? Go on ... you'd piss on my leg, and tell me it's raining.

Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.

Don't hurt me and then pretend like you had nothing to do with it.

You argued, privately, to each member of the committee that I should be fired and now you come by on my last day to tell me how sorry you are about what "happened." Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.
