I'm guessing we all know a few people like that. I had a couple of customers who just about drove me crazy until I learned to let it go. If I said, "What great weather!" one man would say, "Nooooooo, it's too dry, we need the rain." If I said, "Nice to have a little rain," he'd say, "Nooooo, farmers have hay down." If I said I saw a robin, he'd say, "Nooooo, too early, you must have seen a bluejay." Or whatever.

I used to "argue" with them, prove my point. Now I say, let them be the fool. I've learned with those people you just have to let them win BEFORE you get to the edge. Unless it's a matter of life or death, I just say, "You're probably right", and change the subject.

These types of folks are beyond help.

Save your aggravation and don't give them any ammunition. They want someone to argue with. Don't be that person.

It takes two to argue and if you refuse to let them draw you into their game they'll be left talking to themselves!
