You know, people who think they’re always right really annoy those of us who are.
“OH YEAH??? Well at least I am not a big poopyhead.”
Not my bad argument, but one belonging to a client of mine—a 50-something, mildly retarded man. He was telling the manager of his group home his version of something which had happened, but the details were obviously exaggerated and he contradicted himself a few times.
When she pointed out to him that his story was falling apart, he said, “Yeah? Well, it’s about to fall apart even more!”
I usually fall back on the classic but always-applicable: “That sounds like something Hitler might say.”
Once, when I needed to disagree with my boss, (a certifiable terminal digestive port) without getting into a big scene, I raised my voice, saying, "Grumble, grumble, grumble, grumble!!"
He seemed to get the point.
i dont remember what the arguement was about, but i do remember that i must have thrown my mother for a royal loop because at one point she stopped and said “Ya know, you can rationalize anything - you would have made a great Nazi…”
gee…thanks ma :dubious:
now if only i didnt hate politics so much…
[disclaimer: this should go without saying but, just in case, i am not an anti-semite]
Oh, you think you’re so right, just because you have logic and reason on your side.
On why we couldn’t restart the computers last Saturday. “Well, technically, there’s no reason why we couldn’t do it. I just need a garage door opener and several dozen robot arms… well, yes, I think I need that. The building’s not open on Saturday and the windows all have alarms on them. So we position the arms over each power button… oh. Not going to go for it?”
