Do you ever admit not knowing something/being wrong in conversation?

[theprodigalrebel]

I have a very good idea abut the things:
- I know a lot about (computers, movies, music, pop-culture trivia etc.)
- I know more than the average someone (politics, current events, women etc.)
- I know very little about (sports; I only play soccer but have no clue what's up in the English Premier League apart from Top 3 standings; the inner workings of an automobile etc.)
- I don't know sh!t about (there's a whole bunch of these)

It doesn't make you a smaller person to admit there are some things you don't know.

My usual response when proven wrong "where the hell did I get that idea I wonder?" It's my way of saying, "damn I'm wrong, but I don't want to outright admit it."

I'm like the total opposite. I welcome other people's expertise. I always feel others know more than me T__T;

I never admit being wrong because I don't enter an argument where I'm wrong to begin with......

I'm never wrong but I have been mis-informed a time or two.

tomato, errr tomato... you sound like you cannot admin when you are wrong. always shift the blame on something else or have an excuse.

Easy there big boy it was a joke. If I was ever wrong I would admit it. I'll let u know if it happens.

I see, though your joke is more of an accurate representation then a joke

I can fairly easily acknowledge that I do not know certain things, and if someone else makes a good argument, I can admit to being wrong.

Those that have never admitted that they're wrong have never been married.

I got a friend who has to be right all the time. granted 90% of the time he is right but when he is wrong he does not admit it. so fricken annoying.


If proven i am wrong i will admit it. no big deal.

Sounds like my major professor.
BTW : That's one messed up pic
