the phrase "suit yourself"

I think you need:

"This should suit yourself, you stayed up all night"

which is different from "suit yourself / do what you want"" which is well discussed at that link.

But some could confuse them.

"This should suit yourself, you stayed up all night" In my opinion, "this should suit yourself" is neither grammatical nor idiomatic. "Yourself" refers back to the subject of the sentence, which has to be "you," not "this." (I please myself, you please yourself, he pleases himself.)

The way to say "you have no one to blame but yourself" is . .

Saska, "suit yourself" is used to mean "make a choice that pleases you, even though others might not agree."

You want a pizza with pineapple on it? Okay, suit yourself.

As Khoff has said, if you want to say "it's your own fault" you can say "You have no one but yourself to blame" or "You have only yourself to blame."

Note that "It suits you" is completely different. That

"This should suit you, you stayed up all night" (ironical, for "you deserve it"). \

Yes, that way would make sense.

In BrE, "suit yourself!" (i.e. "do whatever suits you") implies "do what you want; I no longer wish to discuss it".

I don't think we have "This should suit you", over here (except in gentlemen's outfitters).

"this should suit you"

although that phrase technically makes sense, it is unnatural sounding and is not a manner in which an english person would speak.

For this second phrase it would be more typical to say:

"serves you right!, you stayed up all night"

In terms of the first phrase in question "suit yourself"

It is not normally used in the way you have

Yes, the tone of voice is important. It usually sounds quite huffy or dismissive.

MrP

I think you people are right here:

"Serves you right!"

is probably what I had in mind.

thanks for all the replies, makes much more sense now
