Okay look, I love my friend and he's my bro and all, but honestly sometimes I hate him in the same way that siblings hate each other. Why? Because he has a serious inflated ego problem that it gets on my nerves. He thinks he's good at EVERYTHING. He thinks he's the jack of all trades, the modern renaissance man.
Pick a topic or subject. No seriously, just pick any random subject. Is it movies? Is it molecular biology? Is it books? Is it love? Is it music analysis? Is it networking? Is it accounting?
Doesn't matter, he thinks he knows everything, despite the fact that he clearly doesn't. It pains me listening to him use terms that he obviously only read about once or twice on wikipedia. What's annoying is that he has a superiority complex because of his so-called "knowledge" to a lot of things.
Like I want to shut him up for good but every time I question him or argue back, it just turns into this nonsense bickering back and forth that doesn't get resolved. So I don't even try to argue anymore unless it's something really important. I just nod and silently shake my head.
What triggered me to write this long vent is his recent comment. He watched the Hunger Games and suddenly he thinks he's a movie critic that can give recommendations now. Uh, no. His taste in movies is not only bad, but his repertoire of movies to even base his "analysis" on is terrible. If anything, -I'M- the movie guy of our group. At least I can give a half-assed analysis that can sound legit and even point out proper criticisms and for what it's worth, at least my scores mirror critic ratings on RT (usually).
