Stubbornness

guyfawkes5 · 12 May 2010 at 22:47

(Female) roommate and I about 30 minutes ago:

Roommate: "Gordon Brown had bulemia."

Me: "No he didn't, you're thinking of John Prescott."

Roomate: "No, no..."

:rolleyes:

Reminds me of the time another roommate had the bright notion that the attack on Pearl Harbour took place in 1944, even calling me 'stubborn' to keep maintaining it happened in 1941 after she got a fellow airhead to agree with her.

Your stories of blank-eyed stubbornness (and it doesn't have to be the other person

)?

They're not stubborn they just sound like 75% of all women and that they're just stupid.

If she is that stupid, you should be able to con her into sleeping with your man hood.

Now now, they're not stupid... they just have no understanding of the workings of the world outside the kitchen.

Eh, at least with other clueless people they'll give you that dull look and go 'oh...', at least recognising their mental standing. These ones will maintain you're an idiot until lo and behold you pull out a book or the interwebs to back yourself up, at which point it 'isn't a big deal anymore'.

Not to say you don't have a point though.

This is what smartphones were invented for.

Whip it out and show her the how wrong she is...

Some of the ones I know have no understanding of the world in the kitchen.

Hurhurhurhuryeahlolcosthey'regirlsandi'mamanandbeerandstuffhurhurhur.

Or whatever. It's not really stubbornness, though, is it?

One that stands out is a woman who declared that you needed to have an aerial in a TV for the video recorder to play a tape.
Now that isn't too bad but we were in a karate dojo and she was a higher belt than me and she actually pulled rank and made me do 20 press ups when I told her she was wrong.

Put your money where you mouth is

If ever in disagreement, make a bet, if person doesnt want to wager some money on it, the rules dictate that they are wrong

even if you are wrong, if the other guy doesnt want to wager on it, you are automatically right..

Whoever doesnt want to wager, and still tries to say they are right, gets a punch in the face

This reminds me of an idiot in my class.

He always thinks he's right, but he's actually ALWAYS wrong, at least when he's arguing with me.

Like the other day, I was browsing the "show us your motors" thread. I was looking at a clio when he asked me "what car is that?" I said it's a Clio. He then said, in all seriousness: "Ahahah u idiot, what Clio looks like that?... it's a Corsa!" I wanted to rip his ****ing head off there and then.

After fifteen minutes of explaining, he finally agreed it's a clio.

I don't think the lack of placing a bet actually changes the past. But then, you are pratinum87.

I know someone like this. I think they just enjoy arguing for the sake of it.

Simple, if you dont want to bet on it, you are not sure, therefore you are wrong to say you are right.

But then, you are a retard
