There are few things in this world that can irritate the majority of people. Especially when today's society harbors an anything goes attitude. People are far more accepting of outrageous or uncommonly accepted things now, but there is one thing that i know not only irritates me, but the majority of people. Obnoxious know-it-alls.
Yes that guy in class who insist on starting a debate on even the smallest subject, or the person who comments on your facebook status telling you that you spelled a word wrong. That person is who most people would not miss if they happened to hop on a bus and never come back. When i come into contact with people like this my first reaction is to just ignore them and hope they get the point that i don't care about what they think. But lately i have noticed what other people do while in the mist of the all knowing. Such as the "eye-roller" who simply brushes them off there shoulder but visibly rejects them. Then there is the person who argues with them, but no matter what there is no winning against the know-it-all, and ultimately there challenger fails. My personal favorite though, is the know-it-all on know-it-all battles, because there is no end to the arguments, and its obvious that both parties don't know that they are just as obnoxious as the person they are challenging.
Either way nobody wins when there is a know-it-all in the room, because the collective groan of a room cant even silence the smartest of the know-it-alls. Therefore they must not be as smart as they think.
