You may be a pain, but I can't see thru you (said when you are blocking the view).

Binna bareda bitcha = If it had been a bear, it would have bitten you (said when you are looking for something and it is right in front of you).

It takes eyes to look, but brains to see (likewise).

Where there's no sense, there's no feeling (said when you don't seem to mind some discomfort -- e.g., when you are out in the cold without a jacket).
