You're a teacher. One of your students didn't finish his assignment on time. He says that it's because he's in the band and had to practice too much. You don't think that's a good excuse, so this is what you tell him.
That's not my problem.
That's not my problem.
When someone makes excuses which you don't accept, you can say this to them.
For example, imagine that someone owes you money and is supposed to pay you back soon. But then they say that their car broke down, so they don't have any money right now. You can reply:
That's not my problem.
This means that you don't accept the excuse, and you expect them to pay you back anyway.
This phrase sounds pretty mean, so use it with someone that you're angry at or with someone (like a child) that you want to be really strict with.
