You Can't Teach an Old Dog a New Trick

This is a hard-hitting and very good idiom. Often, people get offended hearing this idiomatic expression especially if they know what message you're trying to send across.

We always thought we're referring to older people than we are!!! Wrong!

Actually this is applicable to people that insists their way on doing things, and don't want to accept new ideas. Not accepting your ideas would be nice, because this is a free world. But if people keep on nagging about your idea on how to resolve a problem, you keep giving advise and yet they still keep on doing it their way that doesn't work, then that will really pissed you off.

It doesn't mean that you want to impose your idea on them. We have to look at the bottom line, resolve the issue on hand.
