tell me about it
You said it
Tell me about it is an expression of emphatic agreement, signaling that you share someone's frustration or experience: A: "This heat is unbearable." B: "Tell me about it.".
The literal meaning—a request for information—is less common.
The ironic use implies you already know all about it, probably more than you'd like.
