What do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO?

I'm an English Gentleman, not a woman-beating ragamuffin.

Admit I'm wrong and move on.
What I'd actually do:
Try to change the subject to something I'm in the right about, failing that lie.

"if that's what YOU want to believe." Be smug about it too. With practice you can get them to totally lose their rag - at which point, of course, you've won.

is when the person becomes so animated that they try and butt in I assertively state "I've shown you the courtesy of listening to your points now I'd be obliged if you would do likewise".

Eventually, the argument gets so convoluted, the other person can't actually remember what the original problem was, thus securing victory in my favour.
