Do you have the problem of being always right ?
Edited on Thu Apr-23-09 09:12 PM by UndertheOcean
It can be annoying when others are too blinded to the error of their ways.

1. Indeed.
I ended a disagreement today with a simple statement: "Don't argue with me! You know I'm always right."

:)

4. Um ... maybe that's two simple statements.
It worked, though.

3. I believe that should more properly be phrased "always being right?"
No I don't think so.

8. No.
But I do have the problem of people being jealous because of it.

9. that isn't the problem, even though I am usually right.
My problem seems to be the way I present my observations/conclusions. I can't tell you how often I will tell someone something and then later have them excitedly tell me the same thing as if they never heard me or were the first to notice/observe whatever it was.

This is in the context of planning work strategies not just casual conversations. :wtf:

12. I know a couple of people who are that way. They've definitely improved with age though and are less
'always right' than before. Boy it makes a difference.

17. Uh, no, as can be confirmed by anyone who saw me on Jeopardy!
If I were right all the time, I'd still be damn well playing.
