It’s quite annoying when someone gleefully tells you, “I told you so, I told you so!” But when you’re on the gloating side and you can’t help but play the same card, well, it can feel really satisfying.
Of course, it’s only impactful when your “I told you so”s are supported by facts.
That’s why these people made sure to pull out all the stops just to prove they’re right. Sing and dance it with me, Grace Adler style: “Told you so, told you so!”
To be a woman in a man’s world…
…is utterly divine because you get to show the world how beautiful and empowering it is to defy stereotypes, overcome fears, and achieve what is unthinkable for them! This Pakistani woman did just that wonderfully, and it’s safe to say the whole world is in awe.
@momalm:
“Women in the Arab world struggle to feel free enough to travel alone. I am a 25-year-old girl from Pakistan, and I cycled from Muenster to Aachen, Germany to prove to every female around the world that there is no one stopping them from achieving their dreams.”
So you like to eat, huh?
This guy has just about had enough of his colleague’s bad habit of eating everyone else’s treats. No, there were no confrontations but there was this precious, precious moment of surprising the infamous one with a surprise center. It might work. It might.
I’m not drunk, officer. I swear! Watch.
When this student from the University of Central Arkansas got pulled over by the cops, he decided to give them quite a show. To show them he truly wasn’t driving under the influence, he did what he thought was most effective in proving his sobriety: juggling. Alright, alright, you can go.
“Bet you can’t.” “Bet I CAN!”
This go-getter was receiving a LOT of negativity from his instructors and fellow Marines about his application to Princeton. But since he knows haters are always gonna hate, he decided to drown out their noise with his success. HA.
@ub3rmike:
“The instructors and other Marines at my separation transition classes said I was way out of my league applying to Princeton. I just found out that I proved them wrong.”
I mean, if he says he did…
A colorblind man claims to have solved a Rubik’s Cube combination puzzle in a mere 27 seconds. The picture definitely says otherwise, but didn’t Pablo Picasso once say, “Everything you can imagine is real”?

@creepycarl:
“We all know you didn’t solve it, you just peeled off the stickers, didn’t you?!”
When the color wheel earns you a spot on the couch
This guy was set on proving his girlfriend wrong about the colors of his shirts. We don’t know exactly why that’s an issue but we can’t help but love the arrangement of his shirts. He’s right but she’s not ever going to admit that, is she? Well, buddy… at least you tried.
@Whoisnotwo:
“Girlfriend is always telling me my shirts are the same color. I had to prove her wrong.”
Can’t handle a fruit salad, you say?
This guy was tasked to prepare a fruit salad for their BBQ but his grandma didn’t think he could do it. Well, not only did he prove her otherwise but he went the extra, extra mile for it.
@tinfins:
“Suck on that, Nana! What you got now??”
@EmpyreanDraco:
“I remember once trying to do something like this with honeydew melon… total disaster. Apparently all those hours of playing Fruit Ninja don’t qualify you for a fruit carving degree.”
You were saying, grandpa?
This guy’s girlfriend was brutally honest with him about his fashion choices. Before he stepped out, she told him he looked like an old man in what he was wearing. In true boyfriend fashion, he didn’t believe her and insisted on the ensemble he had on… until the glorious coincidence took place.
@Mannix58:
“Maybe that old guy is thinking his wife told him he’s dressed like a nerd, and he didn’t believe her…Until now.”
@FecesInYourFaces:
“This is what happens when you just buy whatever the mannequin is wearing at JCrew.”
Oh, you underestimate me, eh?
All this guy wanted was to help prepare for Thanksgiving dinner. Apparently, no one in the family thought he had much to offer so they asked him to simply cut vegetables for the vegetable tray. Because he had something to prove, he decided to turn the veggie tray into something special.

They said it was impossible. I begged to differ.
Doctors told him he was paralyzed from the shoulders down and that he’d never be able to move anything again. While he did take the experts seriously, he still kept the faith and pushed for the impossible.

This guy’s wife got upset with him for buying a huge cat tree for their blind cat. I guess she forgot just how remarkable cats can be. Aside from their 9 lives, they’ve apparently got a bunch of superpowers we know nothing of.

“… And now she’s stuck there.”
@pacawac:
“Haha..the first time she got up there she jumped down. The second time, she whined until I got her down. She is slowing learning though. And I didn’t have to call the fire dept..”
Point taken, officer.
Leaving your car doors unlocked is an open invitation for theft. Luckily, it was the good guys who noticed. They were kind enough to leave a note, too.

I told you, he did hold his head up right after he was born.

When you just happen to have this gem in your pocket…
This guy was arrested at a protest and when asked what he had in his pocket, he pulled out this treasure. Unfortunately, kill joys of the world refused to honor it. Oh, well.

@flamingboard:

@afakefox:
“I got hassled by the,cops one night and ran my mouth so they ended up patting me down. They asked what I had in my pockets. Without really thinking about it, I answered “crystal”. Immediately grab me and start roughing me up a bit. Empty my pockets and they find it. Quartz crystal. I always like to carry around a crystal or mineral for good luck. They seemed surprised and somewhat disappointed, had to let me go.”
Quality guaranteed! Yes, sir.
Sometimes, you just have to prove the quality of your work. This contractor went about it in the best way possible.

When your boss refuses to believe your excuse
A neighborhood on lockdown? Sounds a bit far-fetched. Thankfully, he had a camera phone in handy so he could send proof to his boss.
@supertek:
“Awesome, now I have a photo I can use next time I want to bail on work. Thanks!”
@oznog99:
“This is why I always have a picture of my car with a flat tire on my phone to send. Actually I have several, one for rainy-day pavement, one for dry, one for night…”
When dad proves these photos were actually a thing
Doesn’t this look like it belongs in a 70s/80s music video? This dad had to show his kids this photo to prove that once upon a time, this was a trend in photography.
When your boss demands for a note just to prove you’re sick.
Who would think an adult would be required to submit an excuse letter like an elementary school child? This boss made a requirement and well, his employee came through.
@CaptainFlacid:
“I guess i never realized how lucky I am at my job. I just tell my boss I’m not coming in and he asks me if I want to use a sick or personal day. It really sucks how much everyone is micromanaged now like little kids.”
Let her play. It’s not like she’ll win, anyway.
Winning at this arcade claw game is next to impossible and the prizes are just too tempting for words. While the grownups were busy scoffing and doubting, this kid was busy winning.
When your wife says you’re not “handy”…
“I’m not going to waste time trying to prove you wrong.” “Well, I’m not going to waste time waiting for you. So there!” And so he built her the fence and she got her way. Win.
@bgny:
“But there’s still no way you’re handy enough to build an addition on my house.”
@kihadat:
“OH YEAH? I’ll come over on Monday, wiseguy.”
Koreans will change the world.
To prove that potato chip bags have more air than actual chips, these students decided to get creative by building a raft out of the bags. Clever!
@Maria Ofar:
“And I bet the raft was still edible at the end. I should know, my toddler was beating on a packet of chips for about 10 minutes and most were still intact afterwards.”
@Mikleo:
“I found comparing the air to chips ratio in chips bags. The worst has 87%, the best 56% air. Lay’s is 3rd place 86%. Pringles has 66% of air, even though it’s in a can, and the excuse of protecting the chips doesn’t work there.”
Marketing strategy win!
This guy told his wife and a few of his friends about this idea and they all laughed and said it would never work. Well, he sold three books in two hours, proving them wrong in the best way possible.

You just can’t stand a coin on its side.

His friends said he just couldn’t live in a storage unit. Well, he showed them it was possible. Not saying this is a good idea but hey, it does work.
@icepigs:
“Back in the late 90’s, I used to work for U-Haul. We had storage units with 24 hour access. There was a group of 3 guys who had an 8×10 unit with nothing in it but a bed, a battery operated radio/cd player, and a battery operated lantern. They swore that they used it when the picked up girls from the bar…..and the entry logs confirmed that they only accessed the room between midnight and 4 AM on the weekends….”
@DrDragun:
“Did they also keep an axe, shovel, and some lyme to complete the vibe they started there?”
C’mon, just shoot!
This guy has balls. But we have to question the person behind the idea of testing the product by bouncing bullets off this man’s crotch.

When your wife doesn’t want to believe you’ve been working out and sends you proof.
Look closely and you’ll see a spider hiding there somewhere – more than enough proof that he really hasn’t been working out. Your wife is not the person to deceive, I’ll tell you that.
Hetblik:
“Sure, tell her you wanted to work with weight’s, but after seeing that spider you decided to run a few kilometre.”
There’s a literal pole in the North, guys.
Googling it to win an argument would have sufficed. But okay, if it’s a trip you want, then it’s a trip you’ll get. Lucky you didn’t freeze out there!

An altercation because of a sandwich? You’ve got to be kidding, right? Not really. There’s a report and everything!
“A man, 23, reported a suspect forcibly stole his sandwich out of his hands, and an altercation ensued in his attempt to recover the sandwich, during which time he was struck about the face multiple times by multiple suspects, causing minor scrapes, lacerations, contusions and bruising to his face. He also sustained similar injuries to his knuckles in defending himself, and was able to recover the sandwich.”

@Jwoey:
“Used to live in an apartment complex that was 12345. There were 15 buildings each with 3 floors. Apts were numbered BBFU (Bldg bldg floor unit). This means you could have had 12345 Streetname Ave, Apt 1234. Just glad it wasn’t in Schenectady. (Zip code 12345)”
I can’t believe I have to prove that I am, in fact, not rubbish with tools.

Move over, Karen Smith. This professor just found a way to show you up in class. His theorem comes with solid proof!
While it’s always satisfying to prove people wrong (especially when it’s about what you can and can’t do), it can also be delightful and amusing to be proven wrong especially on matters as interesting as the presence of an actual pole in the North Pole, or realizing someone did choose an ostrich for a pet.
That’s why it’s best to always have your smartphones around. You never know when you need to document evidence to support your claims.
