[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.

OP - you learned your lesson and it cost you finacially and emotionally. Since your brother is AWOL I seriously doubt you'll be able to get anything out of him. Chalk it up to an expensive life lesson.[/quote]

I don't get this "fool me once" crap for her situation. What did she do to make this happen to her? She let her brother borrow her car and he being a total asshole, stole and wrecked it, through no fault of her own. Yes, he came from prision, but he is still her brother and I'm going to assume he has never done this before and she didn't assume he would.

Now if you, like other judgemental posters are referring to her single mother status, then you are living in a fantasy land. There are so many situations that one is placed in that causes this. /quote]

You dumb shit.  The expression means that there's no shame in doing a good deed only to find that your goodwill was abused - the first time.  The shame belong to the person who abused your goodwill.  If, however, you do it again for the same person and he, again, does you wrong, the shame is on you because you should have learned your lesson the first time.  When people are saying this to OP, they're saying that she was not wrong to lend her bother the car this first time.  He's an asshole for doing what he did.  But, is she lends him the car a second time, she's an idiot because she should have predicted his behavior base on what he did the first time.[/quote]
