Agree to Disagree

I never did understand the whole concept of Agreeing to disagree. In theory it makes sense. You can't make everyone else think the way you do so at times when both parties feel that they're right but happen to be on opposite ends of an arguement, well .. you have no choice but to agree to disagree in order to move on. How often does this work though? Especially when it comes to relationships. For me, even if I do agree to end an arguement by saying we're both right in our own ways, the fact that I still feel I am really right will never let me agree to the fact that the other person might also be right. I can't shake the thought off of the other person not agreeing with me. Coz in reality I still know that they disagree and have not understood my point. This is especially bothersome to me when it comes to my close friends or my boyfriend coz when we can't see eye-to-eye on something and we agree to disagree, in my mind, I still know that the other person is thinking I'm wrong and that their opinion is quite opposite of mine. How can 2 opposite viewpoints both be right?

Elevator Invaders

Is it just me or is it really annoying when someone sticks their hand or foot in the middle of a closing elevator door to hop on board at the very last second?? I mean it isn't bad enough that you had to wait 5 minutes for the elevator yourself to finally get in with 10 other sweaty, icky people. Then you press your floor's button only to see 6 other buttons below yours light up. You've barely come to terms with the fact that it'll take you 5 extra minutes to get to your floor when the Elevator Invader attacks. As the doors are about to shut close, they stick their hands in to pry it open, walk into an overly crowded elevator and press yet another button for a floor below you. Does anyone else find this as annoying or am I just PMSing??? There's gotta be a book on Elevator Etiquette somewhere that clearly forbids this kinda behavior!!
