6. How about people who deal out advice but never take yours?

I have taken classes at the advice of a friend, but when I warned her about a bullshit business deal, she ignored me and got taken. Another friend, always ready to tell me how to handle things, but again, ignoring my repeated warning, she lost her job. I did tell her I told her so, I just couldn't help myself.

It is a sort of arrogance I think and I agree, it is rude.
