Four Words I Say to Jerks
Someone once taught me four words that you should say to jerks.
They are simple, they are easy, and they are not that fancy.
Whenever someone is a jerk to me, I always say, “You might be right.”
This accomplishes a few things:
1. It admits that maybe they are right. I make mistakes. Maybe I did something wrong. Could this person bring it up without being a jerk? Sure, but just because they were a jerk doesn’t mean they were wrong.
2. It ends the conversation.
3. It releases me from carrying it around all day.
It’s over. I’m done. You might be right.
Maybe you’re not, but I didn’t say, “You are right.” I said “You might be right.”
I’m just not going to give you anymore of my life to figure out if you are.
I’m out.
