[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's it called when a grown adult makes the same mistakes over and over again and doesn't learn from it. Complains about these things yet keeps doing them. You offer advise since they ask, but they keep doing it. For example at work they use the wrong wifi over and over again, wastes a hour on the phone with tech support (their words not mine) then realizes it and does this repeatedly. Complains about damage to their car hitting the same pot hole on the same street yet keeps doing it (there are two lanes they can just use the other lane!) We were all young before and got our hand burned on the stove and learned (metaphorically) and learned. Why won't this person learn? I'm going to say "Well I give you advise you don't take it so I'm done offering any" but don't want to be rude. [/quote]
A better question is why you're so riled up about it. Do you have control issues or perfectionistic tendencies? You're friend may have adhd, a memory problem, perhaps uses drugs and alcohol, or some other thing is at play. I suspect your friend just wants to vent. No need for advice, just acknowledge and change the subject.[/quote]
