My feet are bad, not made for walking so the answer is yes.

We have an idiom:
If Mohammed doesn't go to the mountain the mountain will come to him!

Thanks for the synonyms.

My mother had a nasty habit of always repeating the same... after she did several times she said: Repeat what I said. At first I could 'dresm it' but her voice...
So as soon as she opened her mouth my ears closed. I could never tell word by word what she said.

Another dutch idiom: oost-indisch-doof (East Indonesian deaf) meaning: you are deaf if it fits you.

@irawandedy you use "dutch deaf" by any chance? You should also leave your comment if it comes to aid.
