Grin and Bear It [I like it spelled better 'Bare' as kind of like 'baring your soul', but I believe the other way is the correct idiom.

Yeah, it kills me (my pendantic streak) when people put things like 'Bare with me.'... 'Grin and bare it.'  I always think - what?  you gonna get naked or what?

The Airing Cupboard

Oh, I really like this one.  I don't think I'd ever heard of airing cupboards until I moved here.  I don't have one and could really use one.  That's a grievance right there.  ;)
