It's time to get your act together and pull your grades up. I'm old enough to run my own life! A: "Of course, you wouldn't know anything about a hard day's work."

A: "Wait, you were in a minor car accident on your way to the job interview?" B: "Yeah, but I was able to get my act together before I went in. I think the interview actually went well!" My brother seriously needs to stop this messy behavior and get his act together. He's too old to be dating multiple women at the same time!
