Don’t try to teach a pig to sing

Don’t try to teach a pig to sing; it doesn’t work and it annoys the pig. Basically don’t bother teaching a stubborn person a life lesson if they’re not gonna learn from their mistakes anyway. They’re still going to keep making the same stupid mistake and expect a different result every time.

Due to Nicole’s stupidity for the last decade with the “edgy” ex-boyfriends and getting arrested multiple times, she’s never going to learn to grow the fuck up and never learn lessons in life. Don’t try to teach a pig to sing.

I made all the arrangements, bought the ticket, and even took him to the airport, but he just wouldn't get on the plane. Well, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
