I hate when I am right about something and I am ridiculed as being stupid. Then, after everyone leaves I look up the information to double-check myself and find out that I am correct and everyone else is an ass. Even though they make sure to make me feel like I am stupid for thinking that way.
I can't bring it up when I see them next without looking like a real tool. I did that once and (I don't remember who) someone flipped out and said that that was a real bitch move on my part.
I shouldn't second guess myself so much. Especially when it comes to history.

This is why you should look up things immediately.

This also gets you called a bitch simply because you know you're correct. I do this when it pertains to things we are teaching children. I'm sorry but if you're going to teach a child something, then it needs to be correct. This is also why everyone at work thinks "I always have to be right." I want to say, "Actually it's just that I've BEEN right every time we look things up." Today it was about measuring, and before I got my kindy class back they told the kids they were 120 millimeters tall. No one believed me when I told them it should be in centimeters to where I had to show them what 120mm actually looked like.

Right. As a person (and teacher) I don't want inaccurate information in my head which is the only reason why I look thing up. I have looked up things before and saw that I was wrong and then I was able to correct the information in my head. I never want to stop learning and I want to make sure that the information I DO have is accurate.

Meh, we were watching the fireworks. I didn't have the energy to argue nor look it up. She was just being bitchy because her bf (M) tends to flirt with me. Mon Jul 5, 2010 2:33:26 pm

Most people expect me to be right. My sister is the only one who regularly doubts what I say despite the fact that she is wrong around 99% of the time when we disagree. I am accustomed to presenting instantaneous proof and it never causes problems when I do.Mon Jul 5, 2010 2:35:20 pm
