Things you wish you could say

[Sally PB]

I don't mind know it alls... if they know what they're talking about. I can deal with almost any delivery if the information is good. As a friend of mine (who is very knowledgeable and capable in his field) says, "It's not bragging if you can do it."

If you're pulling scraps of info you've picked up here and there out of your butt, and I know you're full of crap, yeah, I might let you know you're full of crap.

You're totally self-absorbed, aren't you?

The error messages will usually tell you exactly what is wrong and what to do.

I have siblings who don't want to read the screen sometimes . Now when they read it and want to know which button to push that's different.

Hmmm... I'm wondering if there's a better term I can use. Every know-it-all I've met is operating off limited information and tends to be very condescending in personality.

Agreed! Most anyone can be tech savvy with a small amount of effort.

I can't stomach know-it-alls. Not only are they insufferable to be around, but they bring out my worst trait: passive aggressive sarcasm. I can only bite my tongue for so long.

But hey, at least I don't throat punch!

Maybe you should. It's very rewarding

This. X1000

I need to borrow your throat punch.

Last time I did, she punched me.
