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 :-)

Nope. If you insist on being dumb, I let you.

I is not dumb!

[mod says] it’s time to stop this.

This question shall never die!

::dies::

Oh, we lost Ivan…but not this question!!!

What’s up?

… and this is it.

Ok seriously if any mods are out there, please push this to editing so @SuperMouse can abandon it For the sake of humanity, PLEASE!

I actually mean it.

Ha! How funny :-)

@XOIIO Dude, he can abandon it any time he wants by un-following it. Which is also what you should do.

Word.

Wait, so if you stop following your own question it gets deleted?

No, he just won’t be notified of any activity. If this question annoys you STOP FOLLOWING IT and let us have our fun.

@XOIIO the only time I will be willing to abandon this thread is when I have posted the last quip and it has been locked down! Besides, I don’t want to ruin my streak of never being modded just to put some people out of their misery!

LOL.

@SuperMouse – Amen to that!

@SuperMouse Yo go, rodent!

worrrrd.

It is time to let me have the last word let go of this thred and move forward.

NO. Not yet!

@Mat74UK. I’m with you :-)

Why does everyone want to end this thread? No one is forcing you to follow it.

@J0E – Well said!

No, like johnpowell, I too enjoy watching the guy who was on the other end of the tug of war rope fall on his butt when I let go.

@J0E I want the last word, and the only way to do that is to have the questions frozen after I get the last word.

Too bad, @YARNLADY

@Sampson – Nice Beard!

Ok I’m beings serious now. Everyone please stop posting so the mods can lock this thread down so I can have the last word because it is getting so long and taking forever to load. I’m just trying to help you all out so you don’t spend so much time in front of your computer waiting for bulky threads to load. You can show your appreciation by stopping now so I get the last word with lurve!

@SuperMouse – Lurve to you!

@SuperMouse he he he :-0

Never!!!!!!

We need a campaign to keep this thread going!

For the love of all that is good and holy people, let this be the last quip. Please, we must do it, for the children! Doesn’t anyone think of the children?

What children?

last quip

@J0E – that was the penultimate!

This is the Final word: Flockinockinihilipilification!

@Mat74UK if you cared at all for the children you would know which children I am referring to! The children! Do it for the children!

@SuperMouse – I know of NO Children!

The children love this thread!

Muahahahaha

Who are these “children”?

Sorry

@brinibear. Don’t be, we love it :-)

I am iron man.

nix that. I am Spartacus.

@Mat74UK WRONG! No you must bring me… A HERRING!!!

It sure is.

<<fade to black>>

It’s getting dark in here…

Word

I think that in celebration of the end of 2009, I’ll go ahead and make this the very last post in a very special thread! Happy New Year everyone!

Nicely put, @SuperMouse. :)

Great idea @SuperMouse

except you failed

LOL Final post at midnight good idea.

Happy New Year!

This question will remain active until 2011!!!!!!

@JOE. Yes…....................yes it will :-)

D’ya get my cheese whiz, boy?

still going, my lurvlies.

@jmah it’s the Q that will run forever :-)

Thanks for all the great input everyone! Let’s put this one to bed now…

Good night John-Boy…..

SuperMouse doesn’t get it…

Doesn’t get what?

it.

I get it. :)

Cousin It?

I get it regularly! Don’t tell the wife!

Word.

You didn’t think this question would die did you?

What @J0E said.

I think Andrew, Ben, or Tim should answer this and then archive the question. =)

That wouldn’t be fair.

I think it’s a good idea. if we don’t every future flutherite will be trapped like we are.

Ok guys I have had a really rough, exhausting week. How about we let this post finish this one up for good. Thanks.

Elephants

Mice.

Men

Wrath

lol @ you having 3 more lurve than me.

Listen up people, let’s not turn this in to a word association thread. This is a serious discussion about what drives people to insist on having the last word. The healthy thing to do for everyone participating would be to stop the madness now, leave this as the last post, and move on.

YOU can stop following it to ya know?

*too

@J0E yes well how can I beg others to stop and let me have the last word if I stop following?

@supermouse just ask a mod to push this to editing, then abandon the question.

@XOIIO you are a genius! First I answer the question, then I ask for it to be pushed to editing, thereby ensuring the last word for myself!

Exactly! Now go ahead and do it, and this thread can finally die in peace.

Peace.

HERE’S SAMPSON-Y!!!

Word, yo?

Vagina. Like a woman’s.

RUN AWAY!!!

@Sampson – That’s it you run away!

@Mat74UK ‘cause they’s scary!

No fighting fellas, stop the madness! I did not mean this thread to start any kinds of arguments so let’s just be done, wrap it up, and stop this right here! Just to be safe and not to raise anyone’s hackles I think it is best to be done after this post. Thank you all in advance for your contributions.

If you say so.

Thank you.

You’re welcome.

Yes Ma’am.

word

No worries ;-)

How many words could a wordsmith word if a wordsmith could word words?

Eighteen.

@Sampson – Are you sure?

@Mat74UK are you sure?

Yes

Hi everyone.

Hi Joe

hiiiii

@jeanna_ hihihihihihihihihihihihihi

well well, here we go again.

On our own? Going down the only road we’ve ever known.

Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.

Did you make up your mind?

@Sampson – I’m always undecided!

A song to enjoy

A funny

I can never make up my mind.

@Mat74UK can’t believe we’re still here ;-)

@OreetCocker What? It’s only been 5 months, I’ve seen some of these go on for years.

Yep, YEARS.

Here is an early Valentine from me to all of you: I will sacrifice and make this the last post in this thread. The very last. Thank you one and all for participating.

@SuperMouse : – ) <3

Aww.

@YARNLADY and @jeanna. Awesome, will leave it to my kids when I’m gone :-)

@OreetCocker – Nah-then-cocker!

Crikey

Hihihihi

@Mat74UK Oreet ;-)

Good golly!

thought you were leaving, @SuperMouse…. hehe

I win.

@Sampson – Oh no you don’t!

This is SuperMouse’s son. It will do my heart good to let me have the last word here and call it a day. You don’t want to disappoint a sweet young man do you?

@SuperMouse I disappoint sweet, young men weekly. heh

BWHAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRG!

I fired mah lazor

Thanks to all who broke a young man’s heart…~

WORD!!!!!!!!!!

The party rages on!

The party is over – go home everyone.

I was wrong! The party isn’t over – it just moved here. Move on everyone nothing to see here.

Oh, dream on, I’m still here and you won’t get rid of me that easy. My word is good, and I’ve given my word on this one.

I win.

You win at losing.

You lose at winning.

Oh snap.

Snap oh.

didnt work that time

Snap on?

Strap on?

You and Joe?

Yuck Ivan.

You two will make cute babies some day.
I call babysitter.

I call…the divorce lawyer.

So you’re admitting that you and Ivan are together?

Divorce Lawyer, I choose you!

@Ivan Is that part of the new games?~

I’m admitting that you are a doofus.

I’m so mature.

HURRRRRRRRRR.

Hey guys, what’s going on?

@OperativeQ Well, I’ll tell you. My EPT was negative. Thank God.

I dare you to click this

@Val123 That is a good thing…

@OperativeQ A VERY good thing. My “baby” is 22!

@Val123 Well, wrap it up next time!

Oh, hey.

@OperativeQ Um…I know you didn’t mean it to be, but I’m a little insulted. For one thing, I’m a grown women with three children and four grandchildren. I know what sex is all about. also, I’m married. I’m not having casual, unprotected sex with multiple men, which is really what condoms are for. Married people generally use longer term, sometimes permanent forms of birth control. But…nothing is 100%, as you know.

@Val123 Good for you. That guy doesn’t know what your talking about. If he doesn’t like it, then he can shut up.

<3

@XOIIO I don’t think he meant to be insulting. It was just a comment, but it got my hackles up a little. I will forgive him. When he grovels. (JK @OperativeQ)!

@Val123 Chill out, dutch, I’m just jokin.

@OperativeQ Hm. Well, I was not amused. WAIT!!! You called me Dutch! Who is this???

@Val123 boots

Uh!! Oooookaaay! Good to see ya!

Hi, I’m Ken and I have 35424534 accounts.

No, you’re rangerr.

Oh right! I forgot.

Rangerr is actually one of Ken’s accounts.

Just don’t tell Pete.

I told him already. But, um. I’m sure he’s forgotten.
(Does Ken really have a bunch of accounts?)

Meow

Excuse me! I only have one account. All the others have been deleted. So there.

There indeed.

In real life, I do. I always have the last word. But the internet.. mehhhh…

Cool.

Mucho bueno.

Well, you eat your lotsa burritos. I’m on a diet. (You didn’t know I speak Spanish, did you! HA!)

Bueno estente ;-)

Umm…Big Dent????

That doesn’t make any sense.

(I can’t read Spanish. I’m just guessing at what you guys are saying…)

This is becoming nonsense. I just can’t leave.

This is getting lame.

But not as lame as your face.

@rangerr Oh, you’ll be leaving, I’m sure of that.

DROP OUT YOU TWO!!!!!! You too, bob. Go on. GIT!!

Never.

Never say never.

Then leave.

Yup

Mmm. Chicken babies.
And no. I like Obama.

But it’d be funny.

You are hilarious!

gahahahagagaaahaa

Yeah, @J0E we know who it is in your avatar.

That’s why I am channeling him!

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

You guys are funny.

I love reading what everyone has to say. @bob_ Don’t be so mean
I’m going to be last, so you are just wasting your time here. I always have to have the last word, unless I’m dead.

PSH. Just cause you could be my gramma, doesn’t mean I have to give you the last word.

@YARNLADY I’m not mean. It’s just tough love.

Ties YarnLady all up in yarn so she can’t type….

I typed for six months last year with my hands all bandaged up, so a little yarn isn’t going to stop me.
