"it's just a few bad apples"
That's only half the saying. It is used most of the time as if the full thing is "a few bad apples aren't a problem because the rest are fine" rather than the real thing "a few bad apples spoil the lot."
Yeah. I always vehemently agree with the person misusing. "Yes! That's exactly it. A few bad apples spoil the bunch. Perfectly captures the problem, friend! Good call."
In French, it is actuall "a single apple" spoil the whole thing "une pomme pourrie gâte tout le panier"
