Why??

Why is it that when people come to me and want solutions to issues they have the following two stage process.

1) Refuse to listen to what I have to say
2) When they do eventually come to a decision it is usually the option that I gave them. However, when they annoys the decision they act as if it was all their own doing.

Stealing someone else ideas and passing them off as your own is plagiarism. You get kicked out of school for plagiarism, but it's all right to do that in your personal life? Although I suppose that since you aren't actively listening to me when I give the suggestions it probably doesn't seem like it is plagiarism as you aren't stealing ideas because you haven't heard them before or so it seems.

Start giving credit to the right people. I don't mean just me for chances are if you are doing it to me you are doing it to others as well.

If you don't want solutions to your 'problems' then don't come to me wanting solutions, cause if it is solutions you want and you come to me that's what your going to get. If it is sympathy that you want go somewhere else as everyone knows I don't have sympathy for people who are unwilling to do anything to change their circumstances.

Note: Yes, I do realize that there are people in this world who for a variety for reasons are unable to change their circumstances however, there are a TONNE of people out for whom this Maxim does NOT apply but there are also a lot of people out there who are able but unwilling to change their circumstances. Those are the people whom I have no sympathy for.
