If you trust someone and they lied to you then shame on them for lying and fooling you.
If you fall for it again then shame on you for not learning your lesson the first time.

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me!"
If someone fools you once... you weren't aware that they were going to trick you and thought they were your friend or what ever, so "shame on them(you)" for being nasty and mean and fooling you like that. Now if that same person fools you again, well then "shame on you (me)" for being an idiot and getting suckered twice. Sorry the I's Me's and You's makes this very hard to write, but I hope you understand. :)

If someone gets fooled by another person's scheme or lies, then it is the second person's fault. That makes sense becuase if you decide to trust someone and they prove untrustworthy, it was through their actions, and the fault is theirs. The person who got fooled should learn a lesson about this. Once that lesson is learned, if they make the same mistake and get fooled 'twice' then some of the blame is there's since they were dumb enough to fall for it again.
In other words, if you gave $100 to a website, and it turned out to be fraud, that would be the website's fault. If, however, you went back to that same website and sent another $100 thinking something different would happen, that is pretty much your fault.

This means anyone can be fooled, and shame on that person for fooling you.
However if the same person fools you again, shame on you for not learning your lesson the first time.

What this means is simple as you stated, you see if I try to fool you then it is a shame on me but if I can do it again and you fall for it again it is a shame on you because you let it happen, or do you think I am just pulling your leg on this??

Shame on me for believing you, letting myself get fooled again

If you are fooled once that is one thing but if you are fooled twice you should be ashamed and start thinking more clearly in situations.

it's actually "fool me once shame on you...fool me twice shame on me"
it means you are wrong for doing that to me (the first time)
and I am wrong for letting you do that to me the second time
experience should make us wiser
