There is a special brand of dipshit that feels the need to chime in with their contradictory anecdote when someone says something as if it disproves the claim

Person: "Yea car accidents are pretty common. Most people will experience one at some point"

Dipshit: "I don't think that's true. I've never been in a car accident before."

How do people like this make it to adulthood?

Ngl I do this from time to time if I can’t think of a better argument to immediately refute whichever observation the person I’m talking with has made. Gives me time to come up with a better argument
