Écoutez, tes coutumes, tu sais où tu peux te les carrer.
His interlocuter is trying desperately to explain the situation to the speaker, only to have his words fall on deaf ears. I'm assuming this is an ironic remark, and a pejorative one at that, similar in meaning to, for instance:
Je n’ai que faire de tout ce qui a trait à tes coutumes.
But how do you usually use this expression?
Se carrer quelque chose means in this context "to stick it up your ass" (pardon my French...). If it was not explicit enough, it is a short form for tu peux te les carrer dans le cul.
As you can guess, this is a very, very vulgar expression. You would use that only if you are really mad, or only with friends, if you know you can use some agressive language in an ironic, bantering tone with them. A milder form would be tu peux te les mettre où je pense, but still... use it with caution...
