The best “I told you so”s are the ones where you never have to say “I told you so” because the other person clearly knows you told them so

My favorite recently was when a friend said, "Reap the fruit of my loins".

This weird thing that falls apart between countries because it's not in active use

Its a zombie apocalypse book series following the last of the spec ops operators in the world as they hit hot zones and try to piece together the elements of the cure the world was working on before everywhere but the UK was overrun.

The Audiobook is particularly good.

Funny you should say that - as a matter of fact, whale bone was frequently used in women’s dresses and corsets back in those times.

I've become more and more empathetic with age, to the point where I sometimes feel bad about being correct and in a "told you so" situation. It's weird. I have found myself couching it with like, "well it was confusing, and I get why you thought it was X" or, "Oh wow, I thought I was wrong and you were right. That's surprising actually," or whatever, to soften the blow.

I think what it comes down to is: I don't want to make a person feel bad for being wrong about something because that's how you learn. I probably overcorrect a bit though...

I'm going to guess erp doesn't mean "erotic role play" here but maybe you had a niche job.

I'm usually more interested in what they learned than rubbing their face in it.

Like, are they going to listen to me next time or are we going to keep having this problem?

Enterprise resource planning. No too much erotic about it. Probably for the best...

Offered to take my adult kids to the beach -we will rent a pet-friendly house that's big enough for everyone if you get your dog fixed before we go; we don't want to be dealing with dog in heat at a beach house.

We booked the house. The dog did not get fixed. They came anyway but left a day early because...yep, the dog went into heat.

About an hour after they left, son called - "Wow! That immigration checkpoint was not as quick and easy as you described it!"

Apparently, standing on the side of the road with a pocketful of weed while your wife holds the dog and feds search your car can be unsettling.

"Sir, do you know why our dog alerted on your car?"

…What?

Some of these sentences do not make sense. I'm not even clear how they fit together.

I realized I'd inadvertently crossed into Switzerland due to a wrong turn when my rental car's navigation system alerted me to the fact. Whoops.

I think that's those places where the asphalt changes quality and the streetlights start to look different.

Ah! Like crossing from Alabama into Mississippi! LOL, even the interstate turns to shit in MS.

Tbh this is mostly a yank thing. If you come to my country it's a quick glance at the passport, 2 or 3 questions and a "Bienvenido."

yeah even going into the PRC, I just applied for a visa in advance, the machine took my fingerprints, and I went. At the Swedish Danish border, they check your ID now when you drive over, again, you hand them the ID, they look at you, and you can go.

The US just really likes to pay people to ask about your trip to Sweden.

Cop: Do you knw why our dog alerted on your car?

Me: [sticking my head out to look] He did what???
