Know it all at work....

[rondog]

Win. I once worked with a guy like that a sailor who "assisted SEALS on ops" that were classified. He knew everything ab out everything. One day we were working in front of slaughter house. (In southern California so not a common sight). I said to the guy I was working with, that the know it all knew about butchering/slaughtering animals. No way. As we were working I said it sure would be interesting to tour the facility. Next thing you know, the know it all had a relative, an uncle I think, that had worked in a slaughter house. Then for the next several minutes we heard all kinds of stories about the slaughter house, I kept egging him on. It was the tensest minutes because me and my co-worker were ready to bust out laughing. When we got in the truck to move to a new location, we laughed so hard we were almost crying.

I actually did work in a very small slaughterhouse once, in Okeene, Oklahoma. All at once the most interesting, eye-opening, and disgusting job I ever had. Glad I did it, but don't want to again!

But yeah, know-it-alls are a PITA. Most need a good nut-punching.

We had a guy at CDOT that claimed he was former Navy, which I do not doubt watching him eat.
He had done EVERYTHING, from assisting with guided missile launches in Gulf War 1 to being on the Cole when it was attacked in Yemen.
Pure bullshit artist.
He used to go on and on about "Seal Training" (Funny, he never called it B.U.D.s).
I was in a mood one day and the entire crew was waiting for a meeting to start and Mike starts in with his Seal Training bullshit.
I asked him: "Hey Mike, you had Seal training right?"
Mike: "Yes I did."
Me: "Was it hard?"
Mike: "It sure was, the hardest thing I ever did."
Me: "How long did it take you to learn to balance a ball on your nose??"

Dead silence followed by raucous laughter from the crew.

He never said another word about "Seal Training" again.

Long slide model.... right?

Yes and in a 40 watt range too.

Maybe he was using a .22LR conversion bolt in his 5.56 rifle ?

Or perhaps he was so cool ( or on a super secret, ultra classified, 'special ops' mission) that he was the only one using special .17 caliber 'sabot-ed' bullets in 5.56 brass?

Thank You !!!!! I am so tired of his BS about how terrible the armory was in his "era" and yet he is a "bomb them into a parking lot" type. Frustrating co-worker, to say the least.
