The following is an excerpt from The Little Book of Big Jerks to give you a sneak peek at the types of jerks you’ll meet inside the guide to dealing with difficult people.
Argumentative Anna
Argumentative Anna is an expert on everything, or so she thinks. And the first thing she knows is that whatever you know is wrong. It doesn’t matter that she never rode a horse, painted an awning or flown a plane, she’ll tell the cowboy his saddle is too tight, tell the awning painter the color is not right and tell the pilot he’s doing the landing thing all wrong.
3 Giveaway Traits:
- Constantly barges in with her input, even if she has no idea about the topic at hand
- Tells you you’re wrong, even if you happen to agree with her
- Argues about things that have basis in scientific fact, like that silly idea about the earth being round
How to Deal:
Tell her she’s right. Absolutely right.
