What does que si… que si… mean?

ExpressionColoquial

it's this, it's that — summarising a tired argument

It reproduces an argument without bothering to report it: que si no friego, que si llego tarde. It implies the arguments are familiar, repeated and not worth much. Very common, and nearly always in pairs: a single que si does not work.

Que si llego tarde, que si no recojo… todos los días igual.
The argument, filed rather than recounted.
