Question.

What is it about me that causes others to argue with my costantly. I say something, even based on opinion and not fact and people tell me Im wrong.
People come at me with out of date info and argue with me.
I just want to know what the fuck it is about me that causes this because I am getting fucking pissed off with it.
More often than not, people miss the point and hit me with nonsense in return.
I know I can be spikey and reactive but no matter how hard I try, someone always finds a way to come at me.

because the majority of the population are @$$h0les who should require a license to walk and chew bubblegum.

As well as saying 'if you say so', remember to sarcastically thank them for their crucial input. Without which you wouldn't be able to function.

I have a few ideas now to deal with the permanantly argumentative!
Do you think foaming at the mouth screaming would keep these people at bay? I am quite willing to act rabid for a quiet life

i like daisylou's idea , body language, a smack in the head counts as body language right? or how about the bird thats body language. hey what about the brits thing with the reverse peace sign that would count!

There are also some people that find it hard to just say 'I agree. I have nothing more to add on the matter'.

Along with "If you say so" with the "sweet smile" you can also use "I see.....". I have found that those two little, tiny words along with the sweetest of smiles can stop even the biggest blow hard in their tracks. They can't quite figure out if you are agreeing or disagreeing and it gives you the time to walk away while they figure it out leaving them to wander and that, my friend, is the killer that will drive them insane.

If you really wanna piss them off add "thank you" as well.
