Default the know-it-all personality

I'm constantly exposed to one of these at the office. No matter what you say, he has a similar, yet greater story than yours. Instead of actually listening to someone, he's already crafting a response. At the age of 26, this person really thinks they know everything to be known.

The other day, the side conversation of lawn mowers came up. He was spouting off some John Deere recall information from 1992.

Someone was talking about classic cars, stuff they drove in high school (1970's), the know-it-all just had to have something to say about the drive train of a Mustang.

He attempted to explain to me the worth of vintage toys and games, stuff I really know about.

I really think he has some type of mental disorder where he just can't survive without attempting to flex his brain muscle, get the last word in, or just shut the fuck up in general.


I can't be the only one with something like this around ... :a:

I know a guy like that named, Noah. We call him Noah-it-all. o:

The people I know that are like that usually have a Napoleon-complex. Horrible. What eventually happens is that they begin spitting out wrong information, and no one bothers to correct them :hs:
