Do you know individuals who think that they would never make mistake?

I think it can be annoying to be around individuals like this. I mentioned that last week I was in an accident. I'm a careful driver and I still got into an accident. My husband on the other hand is not a careful driver and he always says things like " I drive like this every day," or " I don't care if they have the right way I'm not waiting for them," and yet he feels he is above ever getting into an accident.
That makes me so frustrated. Sometimes in our local area the speed limit is lower and I remind him he's going too fast and he says things like there is nothing out here so he doesn't care. But it just had to be me driving when I got into that accident. Now everything is "I can't believe you got into an accident." But if it was him then he wouldn't make such a big deal about it.

Hi,
Such people like your husband think that they are perfect and what they are doing is right and others don't have brain they are dumb. they always blame others for their mistakes. I have one uncle like this. He always find faults in others. And if anyone point out his mistake he gets angry.

Yes I understand what you are saying. Even though my husband doesn't say these things with his words. His actions make me think that he feels a lot of people are dumb. And he does get angry or upset with me when I point out the things he's done.

That is a big problem with us(men). We never let this boy inside our minds die and it pops up from time to time like in this case.I am sure he knows that he is not a careful driver but since you got into accident in-spite of being careful drive,that may have given him lot of confidence about him being a better driver and he is expressing it.May be he is teasing you just like that,we do that with our loved ones.Best wishes.

Yeah I think he knows he's not a careful driver he just doesn't want to admit it to anyone else. I hope my accident didn't give him any confidence to keep driving like that. Because that isn't safe it's looking for trouble. I really wish I would have triple checked so I didn't get into my accident. But it was in a location that I don't drive out of very often. But I will have to keep more alert from now on.

Any of us who drive everyday are not immune to accidents. Even the safest driver may slip up sometime. As for your husband, he sounds very much like mine. He degrades you, he teases you and he loves making you squirm. There's a name for it, but I chose to keep my answers for the general audience. Cheer up, I'm glad you are not seriously injured.

Yes I know what you mean. Accidents happen and we all can make a mistake and it only takes seconds to make a decision after we realize our mistake. Thanks I will work on cheering up and hopefully my husband will realize that he could be in an accident as well because he at times purposely doesn't listen or obey something that increases his chances.

it is truly annoying to be around such people, i have known people who are like this that every time one person commits a mistake they would talk like they themselves are very careful and too perfect that would never commit or have committed a single mistake in their life. i have been there too and i know how that feels. it is hard to make these kind of people realize and understand this too..that is the problem with them..

Yes it drives me crazy. We all make mistakes but individuals like this don't admit things like that. They feel that they are above everyone and else and that they could not make a mistake like others do.

Yeah I understand what you mean. We have to do our best to be cautious and try to watch out for others as well. But we all make mistakes and sometimes we don't realize our mistake until after something has happened.

Yes I know them. There's quite a lot in the office. But I do not really mind them. I just let them do their thing and most of the time they will end up realizing that were really wrong.

Glad to hear that you don't let others in your office bother you. I think sometimes in the workplace it may be easier to let things go because then at least we know we don't have to be around them after the work day. Thanks for sharing your experience of this with me.

I had a boss(a department) like that once. He would never admit to being wrong about anything. This was in a technical field of work and if you pointed out a published article to him like I did that showed an idea of his not only had already been done but in a better way, he did not take it well. My career suffered because of that one incident when all I wanted to do was to keep people from wasting a lot of time and money working on his idea.

Sorry to hear that you ended up having your career suffer because of that incident. That would be awful. Some people just don't want to listen to the truth and make adjustments. Which is really sad because we all should be willing to admit things.

I've 2 responses to this. I HATE it I get the blame when something goes wrong, eg Toilet tissue runs out. Steve was shopping next, he should have noticed we were getting low and bought a new pack. So who made the mistake? NOT Steve. URMMM. Then there's driving. To me 'careful' drivers are indecisive and so difficult to anticipate. I'm decisive, but there are days when Steve is ...........well I'm scared as a passenger.

Yes I can relate exactly to what you mean. Things like that drive me crazy. One thing that my husband will do is sit down and play video games and then complain that the dishes, or laundry needs done.
I start to say if something isn't getting done as fast as you would like it to then start it yourself. Stuff like that gets under my skin.
