Yep... he let slip one day that he used to be a restaurant manager. So when he started in on trying to show everyone how smart he was, we used to tell him to shut up and go make us a sandwich. He got fired pretty soon after that though.
Why is common sense not common? Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to be lazy Please stand in front of my pistol, smile and wait for the flash - JSOP 2012

I've never said that to a male before...but I used to say it all the time to a girl I knew (not sexist, she worked at a Subway). And my female roommate (no excuse for that one).

I didn't personally say it but I really wish that I could have. We had another guy swear up and down that he could calibrate the machines by eye and could tell the difference between 1mm and 2mm. Everyone thought he as an ass too.

No comment. Frequently, it's other people telling me that I am an ass. But I tell myself that as well.

But remember that the more they talk, the more managers hear them -- and that type tries to talk to managers as much as possible. Ensure that you retain enough (detailed) information to prove that they bullshit -- but don't talk to them about it, or they'll talk their way around it before you can use it.
