I told you so!

To my friends I am the agony aunt, the doctor, the walking dictionary, and the one who knows all. And yes, I am. And in this era of being the one that people go to whether I want them to or not I have developed a catch phrase. I told you so. 

You see, my friends will come to me for advice on their problems or to know if they need to see a doctor, in most cases they do, but they don't actually listen to my advice and then they get upset when they do the stupid thing and it turns out wrong. 

I give advice when they don't ask for it as well because otherwise they would do the stupid thing and not think of their actions during it. This is where I get shouted at or argued with because they want to do it their way and  wrong. They know it is only advice and they can do what they want but when it is all over they come to me to be comforted. 

I wouldnt ever turn away one of my mates if they were upset or annoyed but the cycle get really repetitive with some. 

There is one person in particular who has been on the receiving end of the phrase more than anyone else but I'm still here trying to help them even when it seems like they have things covered. I have total faith that they will get somewhere but they just need a push in the right direction.
