Do you have to have the last word?

Yes. And I will be the only one to answer this question.

I enjoy not having the last word. I get a few nasty private comments every week. I love that some random fuck is sitting around waiting for me to reply. But I never do.

I use the phrase “Lets agree to disagree.” a lot in real life.

I don’t know if I have to have the last word, but I can’t leave anything unclarified. If someone makes some statement about me that isn’t true, I usually can’t just leave it at that. Once I notice that nothing is going anywhere, however, I’ll stop. Sometimes it makes me feel better ignoring something.

Nah, not really

Depends on how important the issue is.

It depends on how important my ego tells me the issue is.

No.

Unless the other person’s words are stupid…

When I was younger, in my teenage years and full of teen angst, I had to have the last word. It would eat me up for hours if I knew I had let you get the best me, even on issues that were really no big deal to make a fuss about or in cases in which I knew I was wrong (something I would never actually bring myself to admit to).

Then I got over being immature.

not usually, unless it’s something I care about or I’m being a douchebag. Which rarely happens.

@efritz
You rarely care or you’re rarely a douchebag?

Only sometimes.

@KatawaGrey I love it!

Unfortunately, I’ve been in the position of that stick figure before. :(

@KatawaGrey llol4rl! Lurve!

@KatawaGrey ~ too funny

I’m not a last word type person.
My ex is. ‘nuff said ;)

word

Pretty much what @perplexism said.

I find that I still need to have the last word most often when my husband and I are arguing. There is one particular friend who is always right and always has to have the last word. I find myself going longer with her than anyone else until I realize what I’m doing and then I just stop. It is so silly.

I sense an epic wis.dm thread coming on.

Yes.

Whoever answers this after me gets dick punched.

Me voici, sans pipi.

There’s no such thing as the last word.

The only times I feel I must continue is if someone is not actually understanding what I’m saying or dismissing it out of hand. As an example, when I was working on convincing my husband that Obama was the best person to vote for, he would dismiss some things I was saying by implying that since I am a Democrat of course I’d believe that. Since he’s a Republican of course he wouldn’t. It was so important to me to break through that barrier, and have a discussions on the actual merits of my position that I couldn’t let it go. We had several knock-down-drag-out fights over the course of a couple of weeks, because I wouldn’t let it go. When he saw how important the issue was to me, he agreed to have a one night only serious discussion of the pros and cons of the candidates. With facts and figures by my side, we had a looong debate, during which I addressed every one of his concerns. He voted for Obama.

I’m with @augustlan If they don’t seem to understand what I am saying, I want to make it as clear as I can. As you know from some of my other entries here, it is not always that easy.

I always do. Yes, I do. Shut up! I’m right. Ha!

I’m the one with the answer. I have to have the last word, and at this moment, I do so beat that!

I agree with @augustlan. I cannot stand when people can’t grasp what I’m saying.

Word.

Word + 1

Word x1

Oh, wait!

Word x infinity

I WIN

@augustlan

See this sentence? It contains words. And they are after yours therefore you are no win. :)

No, I do not have to have the last word, :::::plugs fingers in ears:::: LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA!

@evelyns_pet_zebra no, no you don’t ( like a small child imagine, i just pushed you out of the way) I have the say so

“so” is a poor choice for a last word, in my opinion.

I have this on my calendar, and I will revisit long after you have all forgotten. hahahahaha

I don’t usually but when someone asks a question wanting opinions, I give mine and then someone else specifically addresses me to tell me how wrong my opinion is, then it drives me a little nuts and I have to keep going on and on, telling whomever, it is my opinion dammit and I don’t care if you think it is right or wrong. Stick with your own opinion and let me have mine!

@rooeytoo Where’s the fun in that?

Word x uncountable infinity.

Nope.

I used to get invested in the idea of persuading my opponent to come to see the righteousness of my point of view. Now I realize that I don’t want to be in arguments like that. I prefer to see us as both on the same side, sharing experience. Most opinions, it seems to me, are based on personal experience, not necessarily on reason.

I’ll generally propose my point of view once, and if people respond with anything interesting, I’ll keep the discussion going until we have explored the topic as much as we want to, or can, at that moment. I try really hard not to sucked into arguments where I see the person I’m talking to as an opponent. Of course, if I do, I might fall victim to the “last word” mentality, but eventually, I think I’ll realize what I’m doing, and leave the scene to take on more interesting discussions.

word :)

Yep ;-)

Not always. Especially here on Fluther because I don’t have a way of stopping everyone from adding answers after this one.

@daloon Whew! I could use a big dose of that today!

Yeah this is gonna run and run…............;-)

wordywordword

Heck yeah! lol. And I always will too!! If people try to talk back I just snap back at them and then stomp off so they don’t even get enough time to get the last word. Hence, I always win. XDDD

The Mouse has spoken. It is time to lock down this thread.

Nope

Once, somewhere else, I bragged about always being the question killer. I.e., after I posted, no one else did. I even asked a question about it, to see if I could kill that question. Since I no longer go there, I’m sure I didn’t end it, but I’m sure it has ended.

@SuperMouse You’re no fun.

lol, I have the last word now!

Nope. I do.

No, @XOIIO I have it again, I just pushed you out of line :)

ok, so how long is this going to go on for?

I don’t know, as long as it takes for me to get the last word.

Word b**tches!

Pfft.

like now! :)

No, now

<—-stopping following

.

@daloon

On wis.dm it went on for well over a year, I believe.

@XOIIO That was not a word!
@Ivan Ok, that’s scary. I’m going to stop following now. Somebody let me know if any interesting conversation returns.

(I can promise everyone that there will be nothing interesting said…see last 20 answers^^. Change that to 40. This doesn’t count since I am whispering.)

::something interesting::

Interesting said 

(See what I mean?)

NO U

Something interesting: Wrigley originally sold laundry detergent which had a stick of gum in the box. No one liked the detergent and people would only buy the box for the gum so Wrigley decided to make gum instead.

Something else neat: a jellyfish is 98% water!

BTW that’s really neat about the gum.

Word.

last word

@YARNLADY False.

Sigh can’t we all just grow up now? Let’s just end this here.

Where’s the fun in that?

Because the OP asked for help and were not giving it. This question will stop being answered in:

Duscussion ceased.

I think everyone should have to put in an interesting fact to keep people coming back.

Interesting fact: Vibrators were once used as medical instruments.

This part of Fluther really bugs me sometimes, why is it such a bad thing to keep commenting on this question? It’s just a fun little game, get over it.

@kawatagrey WTF?!? How?

Did you know that the advertisers send money to the World Food Organization when we simply click on the hungersite once a day?

word?

The lead singer of Kajagoogoo’s name was Labonn

@XOIIO: Well, it was once thought that women couldn’t experience sexual pleasure, so when they were sexually frustrated, it was called hysteria and they would go to a doctor. The doctors would massage the clitoris until orgasm was reached. Well, doctors would get tired fingers so someone invented the vibrator to give them a rest. It wasn’t until relatively recently the 1970’s, I believe, but don’t quote me on it that vibrators were considered sex toys when they started appearing in pornography.

Cheese is delicious.

@katawagrey BWAHAHAHALOL!!

Do not go to this site to help end world hunger (not the hungersite a different one) because it might be addictive. If you ignore me, I can guarantee you will NEVER have the last word.

Standard tuning on a guitar is: EADGBE from fattest to skinniest string.

@YARNLADY I have never been there before. I found a section that I am really good at, the art. thanks, I like it.

Well I think we have all shown the OP that people want to have the last word

No, I’m not trying to get the last word with this answer.

Yep;-)

YAY! I have it now :)

nope

Man, can’t believe I came back and did this :-)
