I got you all beat.
I know this guy who is constantly blabbering to show how smart he is. It's like clockwork, if you prove him wrong he'll deny he ever said something or flat out ignore those pointing it out. He's a real annoyance. I've started to simply tune it all out. He's supposedly college educated.
First time I met him was at work, talking to a bunch of other guys and then BOOM all of a sudden he interjects right in the middle of our conversation. Can't remember what we were talking about but I remember being annoyed by it. The thing is, you know the dude isn't as smart as he claims he is but you can't really prove it. I've thought about asking to see his credentials and calling him out on it but whatever, some people need the attention.
So yeah, either the education system failed on him or he isn't as smart as he thinks he is.
Doesn't really beat anything.
I had a kid like that on staff not too long ago. I could see he was annoying customers with his "knowledge". This was the same kid who's a "die hard Green Bay fan" that didn't know one of their DE's was traded two seasons ago.
Got him talking about Rodgers before the season started with two regular customers at the bar. Adam, my employee, claimed he was the best at play-action passing.
I asked him what's play-action? Give me the exact step-by-step explanation for play action.
His response? When a quarterback takes the snap and rolls out in a loop to throw the pass.
A guy at the bar, also a Green Bay fan, says "That's a bootleg."
"Not when Rodgers runs it. In Green Bay, its called play action."
"Jeff, this is who you hire? A ******* that doesn't know football?"
Now, normally, that sort of language doesn't fly, but we're in the later afternoon when everybody is getting off of work and coming in for a martini waiting for traffic to die down. We know most of these folks families, dogs, cats, jobs, just about like family so it's like shooting the breeze with good friends. We don't see them everyday, but twice or three times a week isn't unusual. That changes about 6:30 pm to a more refined atmosphere.
Adam gets a hairball. "He can't call me a *******."
"yeah, ****ing ******* is more like it. Stay out of things you don't know about."
"Well, I only see things like I see them."
Whaaaaaat????? The heck does that even mean.
Kid ended up walking out a few weeks later, getting hired by another place, quiting after 5 days, trying to file for unemployment and asking employees to commit fraud on his behalf, and moving out to Oregon for a job in a kitchen that was really a job growing pot in the forest out there somewhere.
