Related; the Malaphor. Does the pope shit in the woods?
Its not a proper malaphor, but I often use the phrase, "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it think."
I say that when I give someone very detailed instructions for something and they still mess it up. (Not to the person in question, of course)
My favorite actual malaphor is, "We'll burn that bridge when we come to it."
I like that one, I’m gonna steal it
