world's smallest violin
Mocking your complaints
World's smallest violin is a sarcastic response to someone's complaints, suggesting their grievance is trivial or that they're seeking undeserved sympathy.
Often accompanied by a gesture of rubbing thumb and forefinger together, mimicking a tiny violin playing a sad song: Oh, you have to work on Saturday? Let me play the world's smallest violin.
