Not Just Evil, Stubborn Too
By Lame Loser Me
This article is going to make me sound like a humongous loser, and I suppose its true. Let me just first let everyone who doesn’t know me in on something. I am a huge fan of roller coasters. I like them in a weird, sick way which involves studying them, watching them longingly on television specials on the Travel Channel, and constantly begging the rents for cash to go ride them. I wanted to design them all my life until I realized I sucked at math and analytical thinking. In fact, my pal Justin and I are trying to plan a scheme to get to Six Flags Magic Mountain in L.A. this summer to ride an amazing new ride they are getting…
Yeah, I’m a loser. Ah hell, roller coasters are awesome, and it’s the same thing as someone knowing everything about a bunch of overpaid basketball players. Actually, coasters are better, at least you get something out of them, professional athletes don’t do shit for you.
So on with my lame dorko story. I am a stubborn person and I have often been called close-minded. Well, I may be stubborn, but I know when I’m beat and when to admit I was wrong, but I just have to get this off my chest. People have told me to shut up about this story for a few years now, but its such a hilarious tale and it shows how stubborn some girls can be in never admitting that they are wrong, even when it is about something so stupid.
So I was on my junior year high school trip to Washington D.C. The highlight of the trip was the final day: the trip to Busch Gardens, VA. I was excited cuz I love coasters, and the park has a few great ones. The highlight coaster is probably Alpengeist, a huge inverted one (I’ll explain later).
So first we had to go to boring Old Towne Williamsburg. While we were there, I was talking with evil Vanessa about the coasters. I was talking about the Alpengeist, and she mentioned she had been on it. Now, as anyone familiar with inverted coasters knows, to fully enjoy the ride you must ride in the front, getting a full view of the path in front of you. So I asked…
“Did you sit in the front, cuz that’s the best spot?”
She responded, “Not in the front, but in the front seat of the car I was in.”
So she made a mistake. No big deal. I thought I’d explain it to her. So I told her how the cars on the ride consist of one row of four seats, and since it’s like that there is no way to be in the front seat of a car: each car is only a front seat. I explained to her calmly. She got pissed off and told me she knew what she was talking about. I told her she was thinking of the Big Bad Wolf, a suspended coaster (different from inverted). She didn’t listen no matter how hard I tried to explain, and no matter how many people told her I was right.
I decided my final way to prove my rightness was to show her a picture. But when I grabbed a park brochure and tried to show her the picture, she slapped the paper from my hands, yelled at me and told me to shut up. I’ll admit I was rubbing it in that I was right. She knew I was right, but she refused to admit it. Even when we stood in line for the coaster watching it go by she wouldn’t admit she was wrong. Talk about evil stubbornness.
I know this was a petty argument. But it is kind of a metaphor for larger issues about girls. They won’t admit when they are wrong. Even when it is something you know to be right. When they realize they are caught up in a lie or a false statement, they will just fight it off and shut their ears to reason, or in this case, blatant contact with the truth. So remember, if you catch a girl saying something wrong, you can try with all your might to show her the truth, but she will probably be too stubborn and evil to listen. Even if it’s about something as incredibly lame as where you are sitting on a roller coaster.
She still hasn’t admitted she was wrong. And I won’t ever back down, even if it makes me lame. She is lamer.
