A healthy rant is required for me to keep my sanity to tolerate the incessant amount of fucking know-it-all assholes I seem to encounter semi-regularly.
No, I’m definitely NOT one of these arrogant, puffed-up, chest-beating, blow-hards.
Why?
Because, I CAN be wrong. I CAN make mistakes. I CAN admit that. I CAN take feedback from others. I CAN accept others’ good ideas. I CAN concede that I just don’t know some things, sometimes. And, I CAN remove my head out of my own ass when necessary.
You see, I’m NOT a fucking know-it-all, and I definitely know that.
But, if YOU:
- … think you’re always right.
- … think your ideas are always the best ideas.
- … think you’re always the most qualified, for fucking anything and everything.
- … think you can always do things better than everyone else.
- … think you’re always the smartest person in the room.
Then, you’re definitely NOT any of these things simply because you believe you are.
Your unawareness of the negative, long-term affects of your own self-aggrandization disqualifies you from even being close to the know-it-all-ness you proclaim and covet.
Sometimes, the greatest demonstration of knowledge is the admission of its absence.
So, to all of you arrogant, self-absorbed, self-indulgent, insensitive, socially-inept assholes who chronically suffer from diarrhea of the mouth >> congratulations, because you’re also always shoe-in’s for the shitty-listener-of-the-year award.
But alas, none of you are actually reading this right now because you already knew all of this shit anyway…
