Hate to say I told you so...

Who am I kidding? I love saying that! Everyone loves saying that. There's nothing better after getting into a big, dumb, pointless argument and ending up right all along.

The backstory: a friend from class refused to get a flu shot. We got into an argument - I argued that as a future academic, he should be moved by the data that says he's less likely to get the flu if he gets the shot. He argued blah blah blah some dumb stuff. Didn't get the shot.

The he and his roommate rounded up some friends for a day of skiing. Come 5 am Saturday morning, he's too sick to go. Everyone gives him a hard time about it, but turns out the guy's pretty dang sick. The flu. Nobody remembers how bad that shit is. Ugh. Flu.

Oh MAN it was hard not to say I told you so. Do a little touchdown dance. But what kind of friend would I be if I did that? A correct friend, I guess. But also kind of a dicky one.

I LOVE I told you so. I guess that's why people hate me. Also, I have just discovered why I like doubting things that people say. Thanks for the enlightenment!
