Ever had an argument.....

[Sir Woodrow]

Where you know you're right but you don't have the patience to fight it?

For example last week I was working when one of the women I work with said they had just seen "The longest yard " the night before,

I said

"oh yeah I haven't seen that one all the way through but I like the massively tall indian guy"

She said..

"Oh you mean Jaws from james bond"


I then asked if it was the Burt Reynolds version she had watched.

'no" she said.

"That's not Jaws then. It's a wrestler named The Great Khali"

"No it's jaws"

This went on for another minute before I gave up.

In your second sentence you mention that this altercation was with a woman. I didn`t even need to read the rest to know I can relate.

No point in arguing with a woman. You`ll be wrong regardless of the situation.

You should have agreed with her, then smiled.

You may get lucky.

No.

I might point out she also thinks Sonic the hedgehog actually hates Super Mario.

[Non Banjoble Tokens]

When it comes down to that, just stab her in the face. It's really the only option.

imdb.com, and just print it out.

That would shut her up.

Yep. My dad watches this commercial so he thinks it's true, absolutely true. It's about cable TV and when they transition over to digital broadcasts over he still won't have to get a new TV. I told him it's flat-out wrong. The new cable boxes that are coming out (at least in our area) do not have coaxial outputs, and two of the four TVs in our house only have coaxial inputs. The only reason we have an older cable box is because it has coaxial output so he can watch his shows on that TV. However, he's absolutely positive that I'm wrong and the commercial is right because it's on TV.

The only person that can argue with a woman is...another woman. That is because, men know when the argument becomes moot and a waste of energy, while women will continue arguing until one of them concedes, however, being women, neither will concede, and thus it will end in a draw when both die from oxygen deprivation after shouting non-stop without pause for breathing all day.

I just remembered the time when my mother didn't believe it that Neil Patrick Harris was Doogie Howser.

Or that Neil is now on "How I met your Mother"

She thinks it's that kid from "Malcolm in the middle"

Which kid?

Francis she replies.

You know you're all right you can't argue with women.

I mean you can if you like, but you'll never win. If you do gain the upper hand, mistakes from your sometimes mind bogglingly distant past will start to enter into it.

This is were arguing with a woman who doesn't know your past is a good thing, as if you gain the upper hand, the woman usually commits suicide for not being able to regain control...or she'll kick you in the 'nads. If you are REAL lucky, she may f*** you if you agree that she is right.

I once tried to tell my brother that the phrase "pot calling the kettle black" was in fact not racist but he wouldn't have a bar of it.

This happened everyday when the Benoit thing happened. I'd tell my mom that the news people got this and this wrong and she'd say *I* was wrong because *I'm* not a "reputable journalist" (she watches Fox News constantly, btw). It's a time when I REALLY wished my dad was around because we saw eye to eye on lots of things.

[trixiedust]

I don't think is an exclusively woman thing. I've known plenty of men who can't admit when they are wrong or have made a mistake.

Why does it bother you so much though?

[The OP]

That's happened to me lots of times. It's hard for me because I'm a little stubborn.

Agreed. My dad is like that; I can wave the proof of his wrongness in his face and he'll still insist that he's right.

I remember one time a woman came into the store looking for, I think one of the Matrix movies on DVD. She asked if we had it, I said no, it's not out on DVD yet. She said it was. I told her it wasn't. She said, "Well, it's on my son's Christmas list. He wouldn't have asked for it if it wasn't out."

Fine, whatever.

[Loki]

It happens quite often.

Some years ago I refused to give up, even though I knew I wouldn't have heard the three magical words "you are right", no matter what.

Now I stopped caring... there's no point in arguing with people who won't admit they're wrong.

You'll be surprised how much time and energy you can save by avoiding endless arguments
