Know it all

So tonight I went down to the local watering hole. I was enjoying a myself just hanging out and talking to the regulars, when the local know-it-all/jerk guy shows up. This fellow is one of those guys that will try start an argument with almost anyone about almost anything someone says. The kind of fellow who will interject himself into your conversation and spout off his opinion even when he has no idea what is being said, he seems to latch onto a keyword or two. That kind of jerk irritates me.

Anyway, I try not to be one of those people. There's been plenty of times where I've just wanted to interject in a conversation but I stop myself. Thanks to social anxiety I never find myself doing that kind of thing. It seems to me that kind of behavior is a form of overcompensation for something. In this particular fellow's case I could see that it may very be the case. This guy (an most like him) is also a one upper. When he left the bar tonight, he made it a point to get the last word as he was driving away.

These people drive me up a wall. I seem to deal with them quite a bit, and usually just wipe it off.

I know how to bite my tongue, and I can't figure out why other people don't.

Oh well, I'll just laugh at them and get over it.
