my way or the highway

The phrase "my way or the highway" is an idiomatic expression that conveys a person's refusal to compromise or consider alternative viewpoints. It suggests that the person will only accept their own ideas or decisions, and if others disagree or present different options, they are free to leave or find an alternative route (the highway). It implies a lack of willingness to negotiate or collaborate, often associated with a stubborn and inflexible attitude.
