What is the best way to tell someone to get a life in Chinese?
I just wrote a new piece about the self proclaimed online grammar police types. In it I said that they needed to get a life, but the only way I could think to translate it was 去找一个生活.

I'm sure this is wrong and there are probably some great ways of saying 'get a life' to someone in Chinese, so please share!

If you were going to tell someone to 'get a life', how would you express it?
