Have you noticed that when you are on the phone with a company representative, they always get the last word? The last word could be something small, like &#8220;goodbye,&#8221; or something huge like the\u00a0end of an all-out war over Twitter or Facebook. At this point in my life, I have gracefully <a title=\"7 Overlooked Ways to Make People Happy \" href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2012\/07\/7-overlooked-ways-to-make-people-happy.html\"><strong>waved the right to have the last word<\/strong><\/a>.

You&#8217;ve probably experienced this kind of control at the hands of a loved one, boss, coworker or friend. Or perhaps, you are the controlling one. Regardless, it&#8217;s kind of like stomping your foot to show that it&#8217;s your way or no way at all.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>As conversations get heated, so do the words used in them and it&#8217;s likely you&#8217;ll hurt someone you love just to prove your point. This can really damage a relationship, leaving it broken and often beyond repair. Perhaps it&#8217;s better to put your foot in your mouth and move on instead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Talking Under Your Breath<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Talking under your breath can be a great way to keep your cool\u2014and get the last word\u2014just as long as no one hears you. If they do, you&#8217;ll have some explaining to do and that&#8217;s pretty embarrassing. What a pretzel knot to get out of!<\/p>\n<p><strong>It&#8217;s a Never-Ending Discussion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you have to have the last word, it&#8217;s a never-ending discussion. At some point, don&#8217;t you wish it would end, go away and stop? When the words keep coming, you might end up <a title=\"Be Your Own Diva \" href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2010\/04\/be-your-own-diva.html\"><strong>defending yourself<\/strong><\/a>, and you&#8217;ll have even more points to bring up. It really never ends!<\/p>\n<p>For some people, it is their nature to have the last word and if you&#8217;re that person and you&#8217;re talking to someone who is also that kind of person, it&#8217;s a never-ending battle. I often recall the last words of those I have loved and lost and with teary eyes. I am happy that I was able to keep my mouth shut and let them talk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make it Memorable!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here are some famous last words.
