Have y'all ever had those moments, perhaps years after the situation even came up, that you think back and realize, "Holy moly, they were right!"

When I first came to university, I became fast friends with a girl (whom my mother adores, by the way) who then introduced me to a lot of her friends, several of whom--to put it lightly--my mother really, really didn't care for. I still remember her telling me that those were the kids who would never go out of their way to help anyone but themselves.

2 years later, I'm realizing that she was totally spot on about every single one of them, and I'm really hitting myself on the forehead for not seeing it sooner. Anyhoo, I'm curious to see what other people have to say about when they've been on the receiving end of a well-deserved, "Toldya so"

I had the pleasure of telling someone that recently.

I was the unofficial IT person where I work and we were running a computer with Windows Vista. For a year, I was telling the owner to upgrade because when it hit that we'd have to upgrade the programs necessary to run the business, it was going to be Windows 7 or later.

I was totally right.

We got hit with the update on the 19th and the owner was panicking. I got to tell her "This is exactly what I said would happen and if you'd listened to me, this could have been avoided or at least better prepared for."

Why "was"? She went around behind my back because she wouldn't pay me $15 for the computer service fee; she got the manager's hubby to do it for free. I was like, "HA. NO MORE IT SUPPORT FOR YOU."

im the one thats always right about everything and everyone else is wrong and stpuid

Ugh, can I just say how bloody much I hate people who are all 'I told you so!'. It's bitchy and annoying. I also don't much care for those who brag about thinking they're always right and call anyone else things like 'wrong' or 'stupid'. -_-

I suppose the last person who was right about something though, was my mom. She told me to hang in there with this job and that it'd get better and I just had to give it time. Well, it's been just about 4 months now, and I'm really liking it, so I guess she was right. She'd never be all 'I told you so' about it though.

one time while i was in middle school and taking the school bussing system (read: when they actually offered it) these 2 girls sat next to me while i was at the window seat, and they were giggling and cooing over this guy's picture they showed it to me and were like "don't you think he's HOT???" and i just. i looked at him and then at them and said "no? i'm not interested in people right now" and they were like "wh.. ?? are you gay or something??" in this accusatory voice now, knowing me, i am sensitive, and when i was little i was INCREDIBLY sensitive to how people talked to me and their tone of voice. the reason for this being that i was very sheltered and barely even had a grasp on what the word "gay" meant in 7th grade so i just. started crying on the bus, and the girls quickly apologized and kept to themselves the rest of the ride

years later, i'm in a polyamory relationship with two dudes and i'm a trans demiboy myself, so i mean... incredible
