* JerkassHasAPoint: Jeff isn't exactly wrong that Britta's just making more trouble for herself through her stubbornness rather than admitting her mistake and moving on, but as Pierce points out the fact that he takes malicious pleasure in anticipating her inevitable failure doesn't reflect well on him.
