Why do some people think they know it all?

• Con_Alma

  I applaud your success sleeper just be careful to not make the leap that accomplishments = wisdom.
  
  There are some things in life that can't be learned without either observation or experience. Time has a funny way of teaching things that we didn't even know we didn't know.

  You know what's worse than people who think they know it all are people who think they're always right and never to blame.

  No shit. Didn't I read on here that he was some kind of "trust fund baby" or was born with a silver spoon in his mouth?

  I'll take success over wisdom any day. What's the point of being wise if you can't put it to good use?

I'm half your age, and I've already accomplished more than you ever will. So next time you think about the whole "young people don't know shit, haven't had a job, I know everything" type cliche that old shits like you like to throw around, remember me.

  Thanks for validating my assumptions too. You never seem to amaze me with what you post. For being 18 how could you accomplish half of what i have. You have know clue what i have accomplished. See there you go KNOWING IT ALL AGAIN lol. Thanks for proving my point

  I don't think so. I've heard from a reliable source that he has/had modest transportation so I don't think he comes from money.

  What? It's not one or the other. There's not necessarily a correlation was all I was saying.

  He has a degree from a Big Ten school, so you can bet that whatever his job is, he's bossing around SEC and/or MAC grads. And you can take that to the bank.
  
  BIGTENSECURE!
• thavoice

  We all know people lthat think they know it all.
  
  WOrst I have experienced is kids that went through JROTC. They felt they knew it all and even had the balls to tell SGT's how stuff is done. That didnt last long.....and some were even dumb enough to still think they were know it alls after getting smoked often.
• gorocks99

  

  Had an acquaintance in college that was a huuuge know-it-all. We'd make up shit just to see if he would take the made up shit and expand upon it with his vast knowledge. He did.

  Although, just being at this place makes all of you ( including me ) seem less intellegent.

  This isn't directed toward the original poster per se, but why is the individual most likely to not look anything up, believe things from suspect sources or just have a hard time understanding things be the first to pin the "know-it-all" title on someone? Case in point, my girlfriend. She just got some granite counter tops installed a few weeks ago, and this weekend she leaned up against it and was surprised by the chill of it! In an attempt to impart some of her new found knowledge on me, she goes on to tell me that granite is 10 degrees cooler than the surrounding area. The convo. went something like this...
  
  Her: Did you know granite is 10 degrees cooler than the air and things around it?
  Me: You mean feels 10 degrees cooler, right?
  Her: No, the guys the put it in said that it was 10 degrees cooler.
  Me: Well I'm sure they meant feels 10 degrees cooler, and if they didn't, then they're wrong. I'm willing to admit I may be wrong, but what I know about heat and the conductive properties of granite tells me they're wrong. Granite conducts heat better than most objects, so when you touch it, it will feel cool to the touch!
  Her: Why do you think you know everything?
  Me: because next to you, I do!
  Her: F#*K You!
