Being wrong is one thing, but defending that you aren't when you fully know that you are. That is just crazy. Some people need to learn to accept that they can't always be right about everything. Sometimes we are wrong, fully and completely wrong, and it's fine. Nothing bad happened from that. It happens. The real problem is how we react to being called out for being incorrect about something. That shows someone's real character and manners.
When you do something wrong, no matter what excuse you have, as it's littering in the story below, you can't pretend that it isn't when you get called out. You knew it was wrong from the moment you did it. Reacting badly or defensively means that you are an entitled person. If you are normal, you would just say 'I'm sorry' and try to fix it. Not start an argument with an elderly man like the crazy lady in this story. That is just simple escalating everything so much for no reason.
I fully understand why the boyfriend, given the situation, broke up with this woman. She was making a scene and going too far over something she knew she was in the wrong. This man just saw the whole situation happen in front of his eyes and realized that the relationship could not continue any longer. It was over from the moment she started responding in a bad tone to an elder man who was just telling her that throwing trash into the street is terribly wrong. And the worst thing is she knows it's wrong. She was just so entitled she could not understand that someone would call her out and make her pick it up. The fact that this boyfriend is being misunderstood instead of praised for standing up for himself is incredible. She did something wrong and then reacted even worse when called out. Who does that? There is no reason to do all that. She made a small thing a thousand times worse, not him.
