I work with a person like this.
If she has heard OF something, she thinks she knows ABOUT it!!
There’s NO scholarship or intellectual rigor to back this up... she just KNOWS it!!
To increase the illusion of knowing something about which she is dumb as dirt, she always talks LOUDLY and puts herself forward… interrupting conversations and imposing on situations where her ‘input’ is unnecessary and unsolicited.
People around here think she is wonder woman. Uggh..
Unfortunately, this behavior is everywhere. The days of getting a proper education, learning from experience and long practice, speaking when spoken to and observing the basic rules of civility are GONE!
Working with these young puppies who don’t know s&^% from shinola about ANYTHING is difficult and getting worse.
Being coarse and overbearing, WITHOUT knowing a f’n thing seems to pay off.
It worked for “O” and the crowd that supports him.
That is another trend I find very disturbing. Since nobody is raised with social manners and graces anymore, just about everybody is interrupting, being interrupted, or you think you are having a conversation with someone and someone else gets their attention and there you are, talking to air.
I'm finding it less and less enjoyable to talk with people. Businesses emphasize how important communication is to the high heavens and 90% of people working have no idea how. I get emails from the edumacated who can't spell, have no grammar skills. I wonder how their resumes got past the screeners in HR. Course those clowns probably can barely read and write either.
