This Troper: Don't go in that room, Andy, there are no lights and you'll probably hurt your leg on something! Andy: Ha, like that could happen. (cue walking in room, ruining favorite pants and twisting ankle tripping over a paint can.)

This troper used to be full of these, until he understood that people will never accept advice given, from "maybe you should stand a few feet away from that gasoline soaked Christmas tree before you set it on fire" to "he's lying, all he wants is sex and money and after the novelty's gone, you've broken every reservation you've had, and your bank account's empty, he'll leave you" to "Girls are not attracted to caring, compassion, or thoughtfulness, they are attracted to self confidence. That's why girls go for assholes, not because they are assholes, but because they are cocky and confident, and you are not". If a person cannot first ask the question, the answer will mean nothing to them, regardless how true or needed the answer might be. You might think I'm wrong, but then again I might just be proving my point by telling truths you don't want to know. Answers without the proper questions are meaningless, HitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy}} just ask the mice.

Uhm hello I'm not that attracted to confidence, and last time I checked I was 100% female. I do not like cocky people or cocky men. So if you'll kindly stop making assumptions on behalf of the female gender. And I think why people do not take your advice has more to do with you being a smug know-it-all than any truth of that advice.

I've got to agree with the lady above. I like a caring, compassionate and thoughtful person and I'm also 100% female. You really do seem like a {{Jerkass}}.

I don't think the op is referring to the type of girls that would be on tvtropes.

This troper tried to tell a teacher why she didn't have her homework. Her house caught on fire the previous day. He didn't believe her, until he called the office to confirm. Seriously, "House fire burned my homework." Best excuse ever.

This troper's mother was once on a METRA train when it hit a shopping cart. As the passengers waited in the train while the remains of the shopping cart were pulled out so as not to interfere with normal trainly operations, a man pulled out his cell phone and tried to explain to his disbelieving wife that really, his train hit a shopping cart. Really! He wasn't lying this time! The whole train car proceeded to shout confirmation and unwanted advice at her, probably not helping the poor guy's case.

This Troper was in 3rd period chemistry class in high school on Sept. 11, 2001 when the news came that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center (which was only about 50 miles away, this was in upstate New York). Her classmates assumed it was some sort of tragic aviation accident and went back to their schoolwork. The troper, on the other hand, had a massive panic attack as she believed from the beginning that this had to be an act of terrorism, that this would spark a war "somewhere hot and dusty", and that her father (an Army officer) would be deployed. Two out of three were proved correct within a month. The last, fortunately, never came true. Her father retired from the military before he came up for deployment.

When This Other Troper heard that the US was invading Iraq, expecting to be out of there within a few weeks, the first words out of his mouth were, "Yeah, right - they're gonna be stuck there for at least five years."

Dude, how many frickin' years has it ''been?!''

This troper heard nine, as of July 2010.

Which now makes it the longest war the U.S. has fought. Ever.

This troper once tried to stop a friend from lighting a bundle of ten sparklers. He scoffed and went for it anyway. The friend still has a large burn scar on that hand.

When this Troper's sister was in second grade, a teacher told her class that "bell" and "bale" were pronounced the same. (Yes, we live in Texas.) She was scolded for telling the teacher she was wrong.

One rather stormy night this troper was shocked to see a huge branch blown down off a tree and smashing open the back gate, when I told my mother she thought I was making it up and refused to look because the fence was a cement wall and the gate was metal (military base housing), till the next morning when the dog ran straight out the open gate.

This troper has noted that people very rarely listen to those who actually know what they're talking about. CassandraTruth actually seems to be the rule in my life, rather than the exception.

This troper agrees.

This troper was shocked to discover that there are people who are actually stupid enough to believe that the "secret" ''SuperMarioWorld'' level depicted in this video actually exists. I keep trying to comment that the level is a fake, fan-made one, but the other users constantly thumbs-down my comments and even call me a slanderous liar, despite the fact that I've actually pressed Select 666 times and can tell you for a fact that this level does not exist in the actual game.

0dd1: I just read the comments and watched the video, and woooow...It seems to me you were practically the only one (aside from a couple others) who had a brain. It seems like those other commenters were either trolls or fanboys. The only way I'd think they'd be convinced is to show, not tell, them...which means filming yourself pushing select 666 times (with possibly a counter onscreen and the BennyHill theme to make it more entertaining) and holding start and pressing A...

Etheru: I knew there are a lot of stupid people in the world but wow, just... '''Wow''', seriously. I've never even so much as ''played'' the game, but there is obviously no way they'd put that into the game, it's just stupid! Haven't they ever heard of those fake codes like on Pokemon or other games where you have to press a button 9 million times, oi, just oi.

This troper has had it happen multiple times over the years. One such instance was when I was attempting to playing some classic Sega Genesis games with my younger cousin. Because his mom was not only a MoralGuardian (Only allowing her son to watch G-rated movies and play E-rated games), but also dismissed anything I said simply because I was JustAKid at the time, it was quite hard to play any games that was there due to the fact the rating system was different when the Genesis was still new. That day, there was plenty of wall banger moments.

Oy~! This Troper is always warning people about stuff and no one listens. "Don't you think you should put your shoes on?" "No I'm fine." A pipe fell on my dad's toes. Things like that happen rather often.

When Barry Bonds broke Hank Aaron's career home run record, fans that wanted it purged from the record books started to root for Alex Rodriguez to "clean up" the record. I said that day that "if Barry Bonds used steroids, then so did Rodriguez." Most people ignored me and kept their hopes up. Cut to 2009, and the CBS News interview where [=ARod=] admitted he used steroids. And now they're pinning their hopes on Albert Pujols...

When this troper was six years old and her sister was nine, we got a pet rat. When I came home from school one day, I saw the rat had babies. I told my grandmother all excited and everything (she was living with us at the time), but she wouldn't believe me until I dragged her to the cage (I think she didn't believe me because she was horrified of rats, so the thought of more was just unacceptabe).

It's not Microsoft Sam, ThatGuyWithTheGlasses (also, the hosts for TheSpoonyExperiment and AtopTheFourthWall, and a TGWTG Wiki admin). But you won't believe me since you're 4+ against one.

What are you talking about? Believe you about ''what''?

What.

This troper was on the disbelieving end of a CassandraTruth one time. Shortly before the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, I was browsing the SomethingAwful forums when I saw that the FYAD subforum had been renamed to a major spoiler for the book, dies because Snape kills him". Given that this particular subforum has a reputation for pranks and various forms of trolling, I figured it was an attempt to rile up the obsessive fans and ignored it. Imagine my surprise when the book came out...

This trooper often has it happen with her parents. The two most notable times were when I suggested we park far away and walk, was ignored, and we spent an hour and a half getting out (it was a county fair with two, no, three, high profile guests) and when I had bronchitis. They thought I was just trying to get out of school.

This troper once spent an hour and a half in the back of a car telling the driver that he should have turned at a certain point before the driver realized his mistake.

This troper tried in Jr. High school to tell people about all the bullying and shit that was going on. Nobody listened to me - I was apparently all just making this up. Even when people came in complaining about how many plans I had overheard...not even an, "Oh...maybe you ''were'' right!" from the teachers. Truly, it's so hard to deny the AdultsAreUseless Trope if it weren't for the fact that ''IT PLAYS STRAIGHT SO DAMNED MANY TIMES!!!"

I tried to tell her that he'd lead her to trouble. She didn't listen, and she ended up in major legal trouble for some things they did together. And then an apparent {{Expy}} of her showed up, and ''she'' didn't believe me when I told her that ''her'' boyfriend was a jackass. She was expelled over the drugs he got her into. If only either of those girls had listened to me, they wouldn't have gotten in trouble. But they were attractive and popular, why would they listen to a {{geek}} like me, especially since I was pretty open about liking both of them? Moral of the story: GiveGeeksAChance, and even if you don't want to do that, at least listen when they tell you that you're heading down the darkest path.

This troper and his mom tried to set up a shower rod inside his bathroom. It had one in the back that fit, but the front with the towels broke and we'd have to fix it again. Mom just set it up anyway and put the curtain on. I told her that we'd have to set it back up again because it was ''gonna'' fall down, yet mom told me it wouldn't and that the one that wasn't putting any tension against the wall was just gonna have towels on it anyway. I ''warned her'' that if one of them fell, it'd take them both with it, regardless of how strong the back was. I'll give you ''three'' guesses what happened within 30 minutes of putting the towels and curtain rods up - The first two don't count.

This troper remembers a big discussion about balloon boy on some forum on the day the incident happened. She was convinced it was a hoax, and got a lot of people telling her how heartless she was. Heartless? Maybe, but she was correct.

Dad picked up a junciton box to replace the one that had recently broken. Okay good, but then I notice that he put one box down and got one labeled "open". My response? "Dad, that's marked 'open'. It's probably been returned." And dad said that it would work, it was what we were looking for. Guess what happened? That's right...it was defective.

This troper ended up getting a case of chicken pox once when he was about thirteen, however, he had a habit of crying wolf and feigning minor illnesses to get out of school/classes he didn't want to take, so something as nasty as developing chicken pox wasn't taken seriously by ''anyone'' I told it to, it took until the day after, when I forced to go to school, for the spots to really spread all over, cue about twenty other students missing because they got it too.

Apparently, my parents would never believe most of the stuff that goes on in the RealLife section of this wiki. Even after explaining most of the stuff is real, they just believe most of the images are fake and photoshopped.

This troper has had so many of these, she'd need five extra hands and feet to count the number of times. However, there's one that always sticks in her mind. She was about five years old and her baby sister (2 years old at the time) was choking on something. Naturally, being only five, she panicked and ran to get her aunt (who was babysitting us at the time). She kept yelling, "Auntie, the baby's choking! The baby's choking!" Her aunt thought she was playing around. This troper even tried pushing and pulling her aunt, basically yelling at the top of her lungs. Her aunt wouldn't believe her and actually scolded her and threatened to tell her mother she was playing games. So finally, this troper just called 911. Poor baby sister had passed out, but was revived, thankfully. Also, needless to say, when Mom found out what happened, that particular aunt was never allowed to babysit again. 8this troper has something of a cross between Cassandra Truth and being an actual Cassandra. I can sometimes see or predict the future, but have absolutely no control over it, and only remember the future after it's happened. This results in doing things like congratulating someone for recieving someone, being mistaken, and then, bizzarely, being right, or predicting the arrival of a gift, by looking at something associated with said gift. Often, when this troper does make a prediction, it is unrecognizable as a prediction, and can't be acted upon. Furthermore, this troper cannot predict anything when trying to predict what is going to happen, making it unreliable. As a result, most precognitive acts fall under Cassandra Truths.

This troper is pretty much an actual Cassandra. The results of the distrust have run the gamut from simple inconvenience to ''complete disaster''. I warned her... I warned her... I was right every single time before, and each time, she promised that she'd believe me the next... She still didn't... It destroyed her... She was never the same... WHY DIDN'T SHE LISTEN!?

This troper said he was lagging in ''LeagueOfLegends'' and was probably going to not carry. Everyone else said "You just suck". This gets pretty interesting because right ''before'' the match began, the game ''showed them my latency'' of ''999''.

This troper tried to tell her mother that the old back steps were unstable. That they swayed and wobbled dangerously whenever she put any weight on them. That they needed to be repaired or replaced. This troper was ignored. So she started taking the trash out the front door despite it making the job longer, knowing it was a matter of time before the back stairs collapsed. And collapse they did...underneath her step dad. The steps are now fixed.
