In my office a guy who is working with me has a very bad attitude in arguing.He argues just for the sake that his word to be the end of the argument not really considering about the core of the argument.For example we used to send employees salary cheques to our operation dept through our despatch personmentioning attn to the person incharge name(few of them are cash cheques always). This happening twice in every month.Suddenly he says dont send the cheques to them today.He thought that the person inchargeleaves the office soon that day. I said i checked with thet person he will be there till 6.just bcoz he said at first not to send cheques today he kept on arguing with me that cheques will be lost,somebody will take that etc etc.I was annoyed.just to change the topic i said dont say anything bad on new year day.I thought he will stop.Again also he said no we should expect anything blah blah blah. I just could not resist that. Not only this one, always he is doing like this.eventhough he knows what i am saying is correct he will not accept that i am correct(Just bcoz he is superior to me).Instead of that he starts silly argument. can any one help me how to tackle this kind of persons

There are always people like that around, they do it for attention or recognition
I guess you could stop him from including you by just walking away or saying I don't want to argue with you but it's usually just as easy to stand there and tune him out. Good Luck

Just dont mind him or dont make any words at all when he starts to argue. That's how i deal with persons like him. I control my temper and keep quiet! And then just do the work. . Sometimes those people would realize that you are not interested on what they are saying if you keep quiet. . In that way, you can avoid to offend them.

Ya thats what i said 'sorry i can not argue with you anymore".This is happening so many times and i also gave back him properly for few times.But it seems that he is not taking this as and again he will do the same thing.since he is decision maker i still need to do what he says.
Thanks for the response,I will try to avoid him and his arguments

Hey, don't bother about such silly things, you can call the character of that particular person as EGO. He is most probably an egoist, that is why he behaved like that, but these are the the things you will have to come across in our daily life, be cool. Will you argue with your boss if he asked you not to sent the cheques, no you wont. So, just don't bother too much about that and don't let such simple issues eat your mind, be cool always.
