suit yourself

Do as desired

Suit yourself is a phrase of resigned permission, said when someone insists on doing something you've advised against or declined to join.

It signals you're done trying to persuade them: I think the movie's terrible, but suit yourself.

The tone ranges from neutral acceptance to mild irritation, suggesting the speaker washes their hands of the outcome.
