Do you work with someone who is always right?

I mean.. they are SO sure about something..e.g. to a point where even when they are wrong they don't listen.. and it takes 3 other people to point it out to em. even after that they don't back down.

It just made me think, I told someone to pay me via paypal for something I loaned them, but they paid it as a product / NOT a gift.. I said.. and what about the commission I paid.

    No, but that's a good description of my mum.

    I've worked in places where people don't like taking suggestions, and will go to extraordinary lengths to implement a solution not involving you're suggestion. I suppose this is common in IT??i

    Both my Dad and one of my brothers are the kind of people who know that they are right. Once they say they are right, then they are right. Even if you know that they are wrong, they are still right! It's funny when they are bothe aruing over something, each one thinking they are right and the other one is wrong :lol: It's even funnier if you know for a fact, that they are both infact, wrong ;-)

    Years back there was one person who was always right, the frustrating thing was they often were. But instead of being good about it they were always cocky. So you couldnt wait for them to be wrong, and of course what happened when that incident occurred ? They just get out of it and pass the buck to someone else.

    Used to call him Mr Teflon as nothing stuck to him - arrrgh !

    I don't work with someone who's always right, but somebody who is mostly wrong, or does things in the most impractical manner ever.

    But the boss seems to favour his blatant stupidity for some reason. He's either got one over on them, or he's passing our work off as his own, either way he's a right blagger. Infact I work with 2 or 3 idiots if I made some of the ridiculous **** ups that they have the boss would sack me or at least write me up.

    The thing that annoys me the most is if I did do something totally wrong I can almost hear my boss saying "I'd expect it from those idiots, but not you, I expect better from you" before he writes me up for doing something minor compared to the complete disasters the others I work with have orchestrated in the past.

    I think my problem is I'm good at my job and they know I am so I get no leeway, it's funny when the boss actually tells you that the rest of the people you work with are idiots and he needs you to do a certain task, because he doesn't trust the rest of them to do it properly :lol:

    Situation I'm in I feel like I should take it as a compliment really, they trust me, they know I can get it done, but if I ever make a mistake I'm in the firing line no matter how minor because now I'm the reliable one (should put me in charge I say then they'll see and absolute c*nt as well :lol:).

    no, but i work with someone who loves to give out misinformation to people just to cause havoc. either that or she is properly retarded.

    you give her a message to pass on, and if she eventually passes it on it will be something totally different to what you have said.

    I work with a grade A pillock that has an opinion on EVERYTHING regardless whether or not you want to hear it.

    Oh, and he feels the need to say "I knew I was right, I'm a genius" on a regular basis.

    Grrrrrrr! B*stard!! :x:x:x:x:x
