I wonder if "telling(1), telling(2)" is gerund or anything.
1. Who do you think you are, telling me what to do.
2. You have some nerve, telling me what to do.

In your sentences, I see them as the present participles.

In addition

Your telling is pretty nice. ( telling ~ gerund)
Stop telling me what to do. telling ~ present participle)

?

Thanks

In 'stop telling...', 'telling' is a gerund, I think.
