That's a good one. In real life I try to stay as far away from people who behave like that, or online use that awesome block feature. Life is too short.

St. Felix of Cantalice

1513-1387

Ever been around someone who has to have the last word on everything? You say something like Last Sunday afternoon about 3:00 , and they interrupt saying, believe it was 2:20, not 3:00. You mile politely and say, Last Sunday about 2:30 I was reading the paper. Again they interrupt, If memory serves you were reading a magazine, not the newspaper. Pretty soon you're ready to scream, but when you react, the person looks offended and says, But I was just trying to be helpful.

That kind of help we can all do without.

St. Felix of Cantalice offers us one way to respond to people who must have the last word. When anyone contradicted him in unimportant matters , he politely agreed with what they said and never said another thing.

The next time you encounter a person who must have the last word, you might try St. Felix's technique.People who are constantly contradicting and correcting others are just spoiling for a fight. They want to disturb your peace and get you into an argument over something that doesn't really matter anyway. When you fall into their snare and begin to defend your position, you let them win the round. Rather than give them the satisfaction refuse to play their game. Be utterly polite as you say, Why I believe you are right. By agreeing with them, you not only puncture their pugnacity, but you maintain your own peace of mind.
