Arguing & The Tank Chair

Tonight I feel like throwing a chair at someones face. Not just anyone, I have a specific person in mind.

Why is it that when we argue there are always the people who just can't seem to stay on topic?
They twist your words and sentences and throw it back at you.

Arguing with people who think they are always right is one thing, I mean, that's the reason people argue, they all believe they are right.

What's worse is when people know they are wrong, but still try to convince you that they are right.

It's awful when people attempt to distract the other person either by name calling or engaging in another activity while arguing.
In my opinion, it simply means they have lost the argument.

There are many styles of arguing, but my least favourite is when numbers are included.

Did you know that when we are arguing and the other person drags out either a calculator or a mathematical piece they have prepared in advance, most of us are overwhelmed and in most cases we disengage from the argument because we have no figures to show and therefore feel we have lost.
It is almost impossible to argue with numbers.

But the thing about numbers is that even though the mathematical equation seems to be correct, the person responsible for the equation has had the advantage of including and excluding figures that might be more than relevant to get the truthful equation!


They say the good thing about arguing is that you get to blow off some steam and feel better about yourself.
Personally, I would feel much better if I got to throw that chair at that person with the mathematical equations who twists my words and can barely stay on topic..

and then some

Glad to see my image was of value to you! For what it's worth, a tank chair may be somewhat too heavy to throw at someone, though you could probably just drive over the infuriating person in it :)
