One of my BIGGEST pet peevz at the moment is when I tell someone they need to/shouldn't do something and they ignore me, only to find out I was right then tell me it was my fault for not MAKING them listen? OR having a BITCH to me about what went wrong!

1: Told a friend she really shouldn't go back to her ex because he's a manipulative, pathological lire with a major inferiority complex when it comes to woman (hate woman who stand up to him) and is an emotional abuser. I told her this, I kept telling her this. She goes back to him, he destroys her 21st birthday by being the biggest dick ever. Then has the hide to abuse and blame me for it? Yes thats right HE blamed ME for the 21st going bad...:confused::confused::rolleyes::rolleyes: So yeah. She came crying to me about it. I had lost all sympathy by then (it was the third time...you kinda get over it)

2: Told my ex house mate to kick the lazy cow that we lived with out instead of me having to leave. HE told me there was nothing wrong with her and to stop bitching. I move out...he started complaining about all the things I had TOLD him she was doing. In the end they defaulted rent 2 times and she stole $1000 from the account.

3: I tell people which ways they need to go when driving in order to avoid lights/traffic/there going the wrong way. They bitch to me about me not knowing how to give directions...ignoring my attempt to help ...then they get lost ...and then they blame me for getting them lost and making them late to work/party/function

4: I told M to just pay for delivery of our new bed because it would get here sooner, and we didn't have to worry about finding a trailer and what not. He ignored me....what happens? He can't find a trailer larger enough or cheap enough and has to pay for delivery now and now our bed is going to take another 2-3 days to get here when we could have had it last week on Wednesday!...he has the hide to tell me to get off my "high horse" because I gave him the "I told you so" look. I'm sorry...but my back is sore because of the mattress I have to sleep on at the moment.

5: I told my friend that she shouldn't do one night stands with a person(s) she knows because, despite what she says, emotions always get in the way and she will get hurt.....she does it...now he's flirting with other girls in front of her and he's going away. I know she's hurting, you can see it in her eyes. I'm waiting for her to come bitching...just waiting

anyone else? I can't remember all of them right now

Welcome to my life.

Or, I should say, welcome to my life before I learned that people never freaking listen and to just keep my big twinkie chute shut.

Sorry. Sometimes its' best to just let the chips fall where they may. :(

Man alive if that hasn't been hammered home over the years. I could come up with a list, but it would just get irritating again. Some people just need to learn things the hard way, and unfortunately, some people never learn. I know a handful of people who keep making the same freaking mistakes over and over again, and I can see them doing the same stupid things ten, twenty, or thirty years down the line.

Why? Bottom line, they don't want to change. I've learned to stop trying, because no matter what you do, until they want to change badly enough to get started, there is NOTHING you can do to help them. It stinks, sure, but if you try to butt your head against their brick walls, you're going to go insane.

Want to know what my motto is? Seriously?

"No one ever f:censored:king listens to me."



Wanna know what statment I hear A LOT?

Seriously?

"You were right, I wish I'd f:censored:king listened to you."

And sometimes

"Why didnt' you stop me?"

And sometimes

"Why didnt' you stop me?"Amen!

Know what else is fun?

"I really appreciate your input, I just need to think it over, okay?"

Then they do the EXACT OPPOSITE, then they realize later that it was the wrong decision, then we're back to:

"You were right, I wish I'd listened to you..."

And it NEVER ENDS.

:rant:

So now I just don't bother. I just shrug and say "whatever" to those people, and I don't go out of my way for them anymore. One day I'm going to snap and just be like, "Well gosh, if you value my opinion so much, why do you never use it?" Of course, I know the answer I'm going to get, which is why I'm trying to get less involved with those people.

I know.

People dont' have to take my advice, but for frig's sake, take SOMEBODY'S advice, you know?

Once a person vents to me and asks for advice, then takes neither my advice nor anyone else's, they then forfeit the right to continue to complain, at least to me.

:burnup:

The one thing NOBODY ever listens to me about is relationship advice. Never. And I've gotten so sick and tired of them coming back to me, complaining about how they didn't take my advice, and their relationship either didn't work or got worse. Gee, I wonder why...

That's why I no longer play Dr. Phil with my friends.

I just love it, all conversations seem to be the same.

Friend-"Should I date this guy?"
Me-"No, he's an @$$hole."
Friend-"Okay!"

A day later:
Friend-"I'm going out with that guy!"
Me-"Great..."

A couple weeks later:
Friend-"He cheated on me! What an @$$hole!"
Me-"Sucks."

It's always the same.
