Most stubborn people you've ever known

How bad would you classify the most stubborn person or people you have ever known as being?


My brother is my prime example and I'm not sure how to categorize his behavior. his theory is if something doesn't work once, it never will, don't ever try it again. So it's VERY annoying whenever he gets hiccups because sabes que years ago he tried drinking water and it didn't work, none of the usual methods work, so he just waits it out BUT with every single hiccup he growls and snarls like that's going to do something about it.

And he gets canker sores all the time, I get them too and I get the roof of my mouth scratched to hell all the time, I say use the mouthwash that's what it's for, but no, he's not going to do that either because there's Scope in his toothpaste, what the hell? The only theory I could come up with, and of course I know it's ridiculous, but the only way I could see making sense out of somebody like that is they must like suffering if they absolutely refuse to try anything because something didn't work once. I really can't figure out the logic behind thinking like that, other than he is just that stubborn and if it's not his idea, that probably adds to it.


Anybody else know someone like that, or worse?

Stubborn just for the sake of being stubborn? I guess I would have to say both of my parents. They both can be stubborn as hell when they WANT to be. Both of them would tell me stories about when they first started dating and they are hilarious.

My second older sister. She can be like talking to a closed door when her mind is closed.

You talking about your brother and hiccoughs reminds me so much of my boyfriend that I had from ages 16-20. He was the same way about stuff but for him, it wasn't so much a stubborn nature, but rather that he did not like things happening to him that he could not control. So hiccoughs would drive him insane.

And he had all these theories about how he could control getting a cold or not. But the odd thing is, his "mind over matter" theories didn't always seem like bull shit. He truly rarely got a cold or flu or anything.

As far as stubborn people, I don't think I know any. Or at least not any who are so stubborn that they are never open to new ideas.
