I just had a case today where people were telling me that the wireless Internet wasn't working the way it was supposed to. I assured them it was because I know I checked the one box I needed to to make that happen. I finally went back and double checked only to find out the box was indeed not checked. I used to be a lot more sure in my "rightness", but now that I am older, I realize I probably get it wrong a lot more times than I think!
Well, people tend to be wrong in their "supposed" issues with computers.amd connections.But yes, age can also be a bitch, I've found my self double checking the front door closed when I was fucken sure I closed it. But the doubt didn't let me sleep so I fucken went to vanish the thought and yes!!! It was closed...5 of the 9 times.
I've done that with the garage door before
I thought it was an obsessive-compulsive behavior from me.
I think age/experience has a lot to do with a person adjusting their "rightness" including their need to be (or seem) right all the time. More patience maybe I guess, tolerance for others and simply more wisdom probably...no one is always right.
Yes, it sure seems that way. I think part of it too is just the wasted time arguing. You realize it really isn't worth it ultimately.
Arguing with other people is rarely of benefit and most often there's better things to do with one's time. There's a lot of people out there who have need to be right all the time, even though they know they are probably not, and walking away or ignoring them is often my way of dealing with it. At work though, sometimes that's not possible...but in the environments I operate in those people don't tend to stick around overly long.
