The know-it-all

Have you ever met a person who seems to have this know-it-all attitude? I really feel disgusted by this kind of person and usually end the conversation very fast. They are boring to talk, right?

There are so many Mr. & Ms. Know-it-all! Sit at McDonald's or Starbucks and you can eavesdrop to all the silly and lame conversations of all time. Wish you luck!

I really don't hate them because well they're just being themselves even if they are annoying. Some just love to share everything they know although I will admit that some people that have a know-it-all attitude and tend to be really bossy do kind of annoy. Though I just try to let it go.

My ex boss is like this, however instead of feeling disgusted I am happy as I get to learn many things from him. Moreover, I must admit that there are people who believes that they know everything and no matter on which subject you may talk they know better than you, so I do not like this attitude and I prefer to say plainly to them.

Yes, I have met people like that and I always end up debating with them. I never want to make them win because they pissed me off. But in the end I think I am becoming like one of them.

Yes a few when I was in school, they were all girls and they were very annoying, they were smart people but modesty was their weakness they would go on about how smart they were and put everyone else down. They would answer you as if you were a stupid animal that needed training or something... Good thing I've now left school as I couldn't stand them. I saw one a few weeks ago 2 years after having left school and she trying to act all nice as if we had been friends or something and I pretended I didn't recognise her until she came up to me. She never spoke to me in school so I don't know why she was interested now after two years, good thing is though I didn't look pleased to see her so she could tell I wasn't bothered to see her again LOL!

I have an uncle with that attitude. He thinks he knows everything and everything. He always wants to put his 2 bob in. He gives people parenting advice although he has never had kids then he goes on about an argument next door to him that has nothing to do with him and makes it a big issue when he talks to me about it.

i know a couple and like you, i would rather shy away from those people. but i know someone who is a know-it-all and is very close to me. since she's a friend, i cant really just ignore her. glad i also learn a lot from her. i also dont want to disrespect her so i just listen.

Isn't disgusted kind of an inappropriate adjective? They're not sick aren't they? Anyway, I really don't get irritated by those know-it-all. I actually welcome them since I know I'll be able to learn something from them. What's really irritating are those people who claim to be know-it-all's but can't give you any decent and reliable information. They're like people who claim to be writers yet their grammar and diction phenomenally suck. Maybe in their own reality, their grammar is correct. Or maybe the people around them think that they're good, because hey, sometimes we tend to get impressed with those we think are better than us right?

YES! I hate the way they speak. So annoying. And most of the people like this just jump in the group discussion, and then talk and talk. I also obeserved they are the less educated people, just to prove they are not left behind they join in your discussion and comment to the maximum level as if they are right.

I really hated this kind of person too. If you happen to know it all then just be quiet and let other people tell you that you are the genius! sometimes they are just bragging about themselves because of insecurities that other people might say that they are dumb as what they look like that is why they do all these stuff of bragging. I would just have to disagree with the boring stuff you stated because you will get entertained by them. They have lots of inputs in every topics of the conversation because they know it all. You will just feel a little pissed of because of the bragging. have a great day!

Yes some people are there who are so annoying. Some acts like they knows everything and they are always right. They are so irritating sometimes giving unnecessary advices. I just don't like those kinda people so i avoid them myself without hurting them.
