I was talking with my friend who is older then me she/he always think they know better then me and i just have to agree with what they said or may be i have just to follow what they want me to do after they asked this and that and i answer this and that at last we get different thinking and some time they start angry or even talk louder if you were me what you like to do shout back or what?i often stop talking and let them talk them self as long as they want and till they will asked that i am ok?or this and that and last,i ll just close the phone till they think that they are the one wrong.the way that i do is really just quit myself...i know you got your own reaction will be good to know some:)

hmm, not all fights can be won so what i do is throw up my arguments and when it looks like there's no way to win all i do is play/pretend a defeat and think of another way to get over the fight another time. sneaky but works all the time for me

If I were to receive such call, I would just simply agree with them without pointing anything that makes them think I agree with them...I will just make that conversation to be boring..

Hi anitarei, I don't care if a person is right or wrong, I'm not going to sit there and listen to them shout or talk down to me. I won't engage in a shouting match either. I usually tell the person to please talk to me in a civil tone of voice. If they continue on then I just quietly hang up. If they call back and are ready to be civil then I'll listen. If not then I just hang up again and it's all over. It'll be a while before I pick up the phone again. Whether or not they feel wrong is not important.

people rearly consider themselves wrong so when you close the phone they won't get it that they are wrong, they will become even more angry with you different people have different opinions - learn to listen to them even if they'r wrong without arguing, but also without taking them as the right ones better thing is to say in you most easy voice and with a smile: "don't shout, dear, i really hear you perfectly"

yes,i agree with you that you need to cooperate with them for you to have a strong relationship with them,BUT if you think that what they want you to do is not good then you need to tell them that it's not good for all of you...

Well, just remember it takes 2 to fight! Just try to contain yourself, and do not raise your voice. If your friend is really a friend she/he will try to see your side. If she/ he does not try, maybe she/he is not really the friend you want or need? There are many more potential friends out there just waiting for you.

i hate people think that they havea better idea than what i have in mind. we all have our own perceptions on things we all have our own strategy on how to handle things. if we do not go and do what we think is right we will never learn what life is all about. we will always need to rely on others to think for us. good for you that you put down the phone i will do that too when that happens to me. me and my wife always talk about things that we need to analyze. sometimes we have different ideas and that is natural for we are both different people. we try what we can try and go to plan b if plan a didnt work out.

Hi, anitarei321. If they start to fight with me, I will ignore them and I may just hang the phone up on them. And if they decide to call me back again, I will not pick up my phone. If they have made me very angry, I will just leave my phone off of the hook, on purpose. I don't like to fight while I am on the phone, it is not a part of my conversation.

Hi anitarei321. Arguing on the phone is pointless. If someone continued to argue with me on the phone I would just tell them I am going to hang up and that they can call me when they have calmed down. I never really subject myself to things that I don't have to.

I hate to quarrel over the phone, first of all coz it makes the call lengthy lol but yeah unless it is something very important, and i don't know why but coming to an agreement seems to be harder when talking on the phone, if we have to decide upon something i would rather be more comfortable talking in person rather than over the phone, i can't handle quarreling on phone, it annoys me, lucky i haven't been in such a situation much, and hope i don't even get into one in the future, yeah but i know one thing, if i am very annoyed when the fault is not only mine but of the speaker's as well and if they start blaming me for all then i would tend to hang up the call, yeah i know it will irritate them quite a lot so i would have to control, i don't know anitarei but i would try my best to keep my calm, i would rather ask to keep calm and meet somewhere to talk about it.

I think it is a very critical situations when somebody fighting with you over phone without any specific reasons.. and on that time you can't do anything.. i think the best way is that you disconnect the phone call.. and try to meet him.her.. on any specific place.. where you can solve your matter.. have a nice day and keep mylotting always..

I agree with you. I have the same opinion. But if I cant really take it anymore, I'll just hang up.

if there becomes a fight on the phone,i often take the phone a litter further from my ear,meanwhile,i persuade myself to be calm down.i hate to quarrel on the phone,bcoz it's such a meaningless thing,and will hurt our feelings.i will let them speak over what they want to,waiting for their pause,then,i will tell them what my opinion is.i have my own thinking,and i need their suggestion,but at last i do the choice,especially the thing is related to myself. i want them to realize this,and accept it.
