you're completely right about something that no one thought you were right about? Do you have the tendency to "see i told you so" during such moments?
I'm not one to do it for more serious matters, but otherwise, I rub it in deep.

Usually I get the "It's wrong!" reactions from people. Then I say "You're a moron!" and walk away.
I usually only say "I told you so" when I'm facetiously mocking a friend. If it's something serious and a person I dislike, I'll just think "serves you right" in a self-satisfied way and then dismiss it.
I'm sure you do.Quote:

I'm never right.

So all of the time I'll make a point or I'll do something (ex: During a discussion about the weather, I told them that in the winter, right against the water in the Atlantic, where we live, actually tends to feel slightly warmer, because the ocean retains summer heat and loses it very slowly - pretty basic stuff) , they'll say I'm obviously wrong and stupid and that makes no sense. I then explain it again, more simply, saying I learned it in biology in both high school and university. They'll insist I'm wrong - one of my parents actually tried to make an example saying that a teacup is more hot on the outside than the inside, or something, to refute my claim. It made no sense.
I then I have to make another person Google it for them to believe me.
Times a million times forever. I can't even muster a "told you so." It's just a feeling of wanting to scream. XD
Well it rarely happens with me and Daniel but once when he was wrong and I was right I shoved it in his face for about three days! Yes I was RIGHT DANIEL! :mwahaha:
@Rye: Yeah, sounds kinda like my parents too. I like to call it "old people syndrome": because they're older, they're automatically right. Because we're young, we're automatically "naiive and wrong about everything" and we "don't understand how the world works." :rolleyes2
@SK: Oh yeah, I know how that feels. xD I'm the same way.
It depends. If I had a huge argument over it, I tend to rub it in real well. I love being right.
I admire people like you. Whenever I'm hopelessly correct and everybody's wrong I get really mad, because I shouldn't have to be the only one correct. I feel that there's something wrong, something queer about the situation.Quote:

Like arguing with theists. Or pokemon anti-fans.
Well Pokemon anti-fans are usually morons who think they're grown up. You shouldn't get mad for making them look a fool.Quote:

im not really into pokemon
I'm not talking about people who don't like it, that's fine. Different tastes and all that. I meant the people who flip out at the mere mention of Pokemon and attack the players by calling them kiddy and stuff.
:smug:
That's all I'm sayin'.
It's true though.Quote:

When I encounter a pokemon anti-fan I hit the ignore button if possible. :p
I rub it in only if the person is acting like a jerk about how everything they say is right and all others are wrong. Otherwise I calmly correct them and move on.
What the hell, that's my line, goddamnit.Quote:

it's because you're a guy, and thus, anything you do that she doesn't like is going to be mean. That's just how us girls work :p
I tell my family each and everyday that I AM RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING... and I'm usually right. :jess:
Gah, thats BULL:bou::bou::bou::bou:!! I hate that double standard lolQuote:
