Hate #5 - People who don't know what they're talking about

This. Is. HUGE.

This happens all the time. For those of you who don't really know what i'm talking about, its when someone is trying to look smart, but actually is just lying through their teeth. It pisses me off like nothing else.

I'm not always against it when someones trying to get out of a sticky situation, thats fine. But what I mean, is when, alright i'll show you.

Person #1: "Um, why is the Hulk even green?"

Me: "Actually, it was-"

Nimrod: "Well, in 2010, when the Hulk was first, um, printed, as a, um, comic, uh, the...writer...yeah. The writer, um, his name was uhh...Henry McFinnyboo. Well yeah he wanted it to be green so that his blind son, Johnny, could see the Hulk, because the only colour Johnny could see was green, yeah its quite a sweet story"

Me: *idiot*

Me: *idiot*

Me: *idiot*

Me: "Um, a) the Incredible Hulk comic series was printed way, way before 2010 and b) there was actually 2 writers, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby originally created the Hulk, and c) the reason he's green was because of a printing error, he was actually supposed to be black, but it was difficult to get the black ink and the black outlines to work together and so Jack and Stan just decided to keep it, advised by the artist. You're way wrong Nimrod"

Nimrod: "Wow, um a) you're really rude, and um b) thats not true, you're just making it up to try and look smart"

Me: "No, thats the truth, look it up"

Nimrod: "Oh I see, you're one of those people that believes EVERYTHING that they read on the internet"

Me: "I do when it's from Marvel.com or my actual, published, legitimised Marvel Encyclopaedia"

Nimrod: "Your Marvel Encyclopaedia isn't even a website I was talking about websites, duh"

Me: "Either way moron, the information is from not one, but two, extremely accurate, trustworthy sources"

Nimrod: "What, did you actually ask Jack Kirby and Stan Lee did you?"

Me: "Obviously not but-"

Nimrod: "WELL! Look! You have no proof then! ANYONE could have written that stupid book or posted on that website"

Me: "Uh, I think its 'wrote' "

Nimrod: "What? You're just changing the subject"

Me: "Uh, call it quietly correcting your grammar and at least I have sources for my answer, wheres yours?"

Nimrod: "...My uncle actually knows the guy who created Hulk so I think he would know him a little more then you"

Me: "Oh really? Who?"

Nimrod: "Uh, Andrew"

Me: *laughs*

Nimrod: "WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?"

Me: "Didn't you say that the man who created Hulk's name was Henry McFinnyboo?"

Nimrod: "NO! You're obviously just deaf! I SAID Andrew McFinnyboo!"

And so it goes on, and on, and on. No matter how much evidence, facts and supporters you throw at this person, they will NEVER admit that they're not right. They will stick to their story, hell they will stick to their story so hard that they could be marrying their story soon!

Even if you catch them out in a lie, they will either act like YOU'RE lying or they'll drop the classic "Well, um, its not actually my fault because I was misinformed"

Misinformed. Misinformed, MISINFORMED! Hahahahhahahaha!

I suppose there could be your odd case where the person has actually been misinformed but usually they'll stop when you lay your evidence. But the people i'm talking about are just so bloody stubborn they won't give in to anyone! Ugh

Vote if you hate people who try to pretend they know MORE about YOUR OBSSESSION than you
