(38,652 posts)I would have made a different choice about which battles were worth fighting. As an adult, I have been known to dig my heels in about things no one else seems to care about - but there is nearly always a (generally moral) principle I care about involved. I wouldn't put style sheets in that category.
But - when I was in middle school there were a couple of girls who delighted in pushing me into whatever figurative corner they could, just so that I would be forced, over and over again, to choose which battles were worth fighting; choices most of my classmates did not have to make because they were not pushed into nearly as many corners as I was. It is exhausting and there were times I wanted to (and I may have) just dig my heels in just to make a point even on really trivial things. I have rarely encountered that kind of behavior as an adult, and while I hope I would just walk away (or respond, "Sure - if it makes it easier for you to read," I suppose I don't really know how I know how I might react.
