[quote=Anonymous]I would not express anger about it ruining my day, but yeah I have very little sympathy for pain that occurs from an action I specifically warned against. I don't say "I told you so" but I do (neutrally, matter-of-factly) reinforce the lesson that should be learned from this natural consequence "you ran even when you knew it was slippery, and then you fell and hurt your ankle and now can't hike at all." I try to leave out the "I told you it was going to be slippery and you ran anyway..." part. I act much differently for an injury that is a true accident, or that I didn't see coming so I didn't warn about...You don't know what you don't know, especially when you've only been in the world for a handful of years, so I don't blame them if there was no warning.
