"It is not you. It is me." So it's something we don't want to hear. Haben Sie in der letzten Zeit zugenommen? "Have you gained weight recently?" Haben Sie in der letzten Zeit zugenommen? "Have you gained weight recently?" Yeah, so to all guys out there, don't ever ask that to a girl cause it's not nice, I mean if your friends and you want to be honest, of course you can ask that, but I would be sad and mad. Ich habe es Ihnen doch gesagt. "I told you so." Ich habe es Ihnen doch gesagt. "I told you so." Yes! Oh my god! I hear that a lot of times, I told you so. It's so, it's not a nice thing to say. I think especially your friends if, I think they should never say that because they're supposed to be there for you and not say “I told you so”, and because it's your journey you know everything you do, remember that. Ich kann dir dein Geld heute nicht geben. "I don’t have your money today." Ich kann dir dein Geld heute nicht geben. "I don’t have your money today."

So I feel like these things is mostly guys saying to girls, so don't ever say that, it's not nice. Sie sind gefeuert. "You are fired." Sie sind gefeuert. "You are fired."
