#4. Those who don't know they don't know, with the added pompous trait that requires they open mouth to demonstrate their own knowledge and life experiences exceed any/all scenarios......
I was installing a new fence energizer last year, and had basically reworked my entire electric system. I had already tested the fence when a relative from California stops by for a visit (born here, raised from age 2 near Bakersfield, moved back here age 22). Being from the cowboy capital of Cali, he knows all about electric fences. I explained my improvements to him, and jokingly said that now if one of the cattle touch it, I'll have a ribeye medium rare on the spot. He had to do one better, so told me about the fence they had in Cali. If a fly landed on it "it would make a loud pop and the fly would fall to the ground as dust". I don't like admitting how we are related. He's a good hard working young man. He's just so full of shyt he can't hide it.
I struggle with myself, on my desire to help him by correcting him and my desire to just put on my best "well I'll be a suck egg mule" facial expression. I'm handicapped in both areas because brutal honesty is hard wired, and I completely missed the line where they rationed the doses of tact. I think the person in front of or behind me got a full double dose, and I know it wasn't 3way :lol2:
