Hah! I Told You So, Or Did You Tell Me?

Ok 'Oh Plinky, my Plinky' today you want an I told you so moment. Or more specifically a Hah! I told you so. It is important not to leave out the Hah! I guess because it changes the statement entirely. I told you so moments are dime a dozen. Hah! I told you so. Has that extra implication that somebody had dug themselves a hole or made an absolute ass of themselves prior to the great realisation.



I love a good Hah! (as I will refer to these moments from now on). They are not about the important life and death situations but far more likely the 'I reckon you are wrong about why that their cone is blue and the rest are orange.' or perhaps 'I know you are going to admit that you can't do that eventually.' (The do is something lame and random like balancing a spoon on your nose never anything where that statement would be cruel).



However the object was to describe a Hah! moment I had recently. Firstly I am not sure whether this intended to be me getting somebody else or them getting me. I am going to go with the most obvious choice would be a moment when I got them... Therefore I will for the sake of inconvenience chose the other alternative.

That moment when you realise you have just dug yourself a hole so deep there is no option left but to jump in and over yourself up to be buried in it. My friend is responsible for food at my university christian fellowship and he is a little bit of a scrooge. This isn't necessarily bad, nobody really wants to waste food. However sometimes it means he is a little bit ruthless about getting rid of the final snacks of food.



The other day it was mini muffins (it wasn't but the word for what they were I can't spell and am therefore forced to change this minor detail). Regardless, he wanted me to eat one and I refused, and refused profusely at that. I was sure that if he went around the room again he would get rid of that lone 'muffin' and therefore getting me out of eating it.



Unfortunately it came back. Apparently every person in the room managed to have a better excuse than me for why they didn't want to eat it. I nevertheless wasn't relenting easily. So I came up with really extravagant arguments why I shouldn't be required to eat it. Yet after one or two minutes I could feel that knot tightening. A second or two later I was left to hang, caught out by my own ultimatum (it was a very minor ultimatum of course) and forced to eat it. I believe the statement was 'I told you you'd eat it.' but there was definitely a Hah! going on in his eyes. Such is life I suppose... thankfully in this case losing was perhaps as sweet as victory.



For an added bonus 'Hah! I told you so.' from my end? Telling a friend that we had definitely gotten a lab timetable sheet in physics class. More specifically that he had attended the wrong lab week. Seems minor but trust me it was hilarious how doubting he was. After discussing (arguing) with me for a number of minutes he had to get the confirmation of no fewer than 2 other members of the class before he believed me. At which point the 'I told you so' was very satisfying...



They both seem really minor but honestly? The best Hah! moments are minor... That's what allows them to be truly hilarious :P I've had some absolute ringers but these ones are the most recent so i'm sorry if you're disappointed. Such is life.
