Here's a couple a phrase (not exactly idioms) that I've learned to try and sound smart, but my dumbass never remember to use them during the proper time.
欲益反损
yu yi fan sun
good intentions that cause disaster
走自己的路,让人家去说
zou zi ji de lu, rang ren jia qu shuo
Do it your way, let others think what they will
明知故问
ming zhi gu wen
ask something you already know the answer to
Well I guess I've actually used the last one to explain why I ask question repeatively just to make sure the "story" doesn't change.
