	Comments:	I think in that exchange, the だから refers back to "いいじゃん。ゴールきめれたんだから".

	Comments:	I think we have to recognize the difference between what a term actually means, and what impression it gives in certain contexts and tones of voice. I remember my Japanese class teacher about 35 years ago demonstrating how ああそうですか with a falling tone just means "Oh I see", and with a rising tone can mean "really?, are you sure?". In English, a term like "lovely" in certain contexts and tones of voice can mean "revolting", "awful", etc. You really can't attempt to convey all of these in dictionary entries. I don't propose to change the entry at this stage, but I'll leave it open in case anyone wants to comment more.

	Comments:	Here's an exchange where it really only expresses irritation and not "I told you already" https://youtu.be/vAewchj5oBg　starts at 00:14 「柚琉！なんで今日私にパスしなかったの！？」「えっ？いいじゃん。ゴールきめれたんだから」「チームワークが大事だって言ってるのっ。いつもいつもー」「だからー、強引にいくのも大事なのっ」 (this line)

	Comments:	I guess that would work. I think the irritation is implied.

	Comments:	why not make it "expresses irritation at another" like https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1388066508 says?

	Refs:	https://www.town.shinano.lg.jp/fs/5/0/2/1/_/miyagawa_9.pdf ◆2 番（宮川俊雄）だから、先ほどの旧日本ステンレス寮前の桟橋と第 3 桟橋南側の桟橋。これはもう木造といいますか、昔、野尻湖のそこにプールあった時の桟橋だっていうんで。それと第 1 桟橋の待合所。これが町有財産であったということで、いつからなくなりましたかということです。
	Comments:	I think "therefore" is a bad translation of the usage in the example above. I think we should have a second sense along the lines of "like I said"

	Comments:	I still think it depends totally on context, and it's stretching things a bit far to say だから means "I told you so". It's more a case of "(some prior information) therefore" or "(some prior information) for that reason". I feel that the therefore/accordingly/for that reason/etc. glosses are both adequate and accurate. It may on occasions carry the implication of "Weren't you listening?", but I'd be reluctant state that it actually means that.

	Comments:	Here is an example where だから means "I told you already!" or "Weren't you listening?" A and B are doctors and old friends. A: 丁度いい。僕も、おまえに聞きたいことがあったんだ。 B: 聞きたいこと？ A: 実は、僕の患者にちょっと気になる子がいるんだ。 B: やめとけ、患者に手を出すのはやばいぞ。でも、その子いくつだ？可愛いか？ A: バカ、勘違いするなよ。でもかなり可愛いんだ、その子。 B: よし！相談に乗ろう！ A: だから違うって！ B: じゃ、何が知りたんだ？さっさと言えよ。 It's often pronounced だーかーらー when used with this meaning.

	Comments:	Adding the other translations found in JEs. It probably helps your situation, if not the hallucinations... I think it's all a matter of the context in which it's used.

	Comments:	I sometimes see this having the meaning of "that's what I said," or "I told you so," especially at the beginning of a sentence, but I can't find support for this in the references. It's definitely something that can't be translated as "so" or "therefore." Am I hallucinating?
