an incredibly painful person

i spent about 10 hours, six of them in a car, with someone who drives me crazy. i think i am going to try to never see this person again.
let's see exactly what makes me mad:
- this guy knows everything better than you. except he doesn't
- he can talk with complete confidence and authority about things he has no experience with
- he's really comfortable making broad sweeping generalizations that are just wrong
- he thinks he's very worldly, but doesn't actually know shit about the real world
- he lives in an internet world, and can't really talk to anyone in real life
- he complains constantly about how shit his work colleagues are, and how his previous place of work (years ago), was so much better, did everything better, etc. yet he doesn't really produce any work
- he's obsessed with being "cool", but it's even more pathetic because he's old enough that he shouldn't care about this shit
- living for more than two years in europe, he's done almost zero travel, and learnt almost zero of the local language
- he's just too cool to do anything. everything here is lame. this town is boring. everything is boring. it's all crap. guess what - you're crap too.
- he's really obsessed with his physics networking. every second phrase "do you know..." ah - how about no? what little anecdote do you have? i'm really, really interested
