Anybody ever call an arrogant person on their arrogance? |
|
For instance, I used to have a co-worker who had to be right all the time. Otherwise, he could be a nice guy, but by God, he had to be right.
If you said, "It's a nice day," he'd say, "Looks like it's going to cloud up." Sometimes he'd directly contradict other people, saying, "No, it's not," which I think is so damn rude.
I wonder sometimes what would have been his reaction if I'd said to him something like, "Well, you must be right. You always are." :sarcasm:

1. so that is arrogance....I wondered. I have a very dear friend |
|
like that. I called it spoiled rotten and told her she could argue with a stop sign. I lover her dearly but, conversations tend to be very one-way. I never contradict her. Why bother? Even when she is wrong she is right :shrug:

2. I think that's one way arrogance manifests itself. |

That's good you can still maintain the relationship. Maybe that's the best way to handle them, some of them, anyway.
Or just respond with "Whatever."

3. I value her friendship and, I realize that we all have our quirks. |

I love in spite of or sometimes perhaps, because of...
"Whatever" is passive/aggressive but, works for the short term. I despise working with these type of people. I would consider my boss to be one. Jerk is a word that comes to mind...
