Oh wow... I don't know what made me assume it was the other way around, but knowing the friend is 19 makes things a lot easier to understand. I think what we have here is a case of "I'm (almost?) out of high school and therefore much smarter and more mature than I was not too long ago and can argue every little thing" syndrome. Or, if you want the short version, he's just a smart-ass. It's really that simple.otakon17 said:Funny you should say that. No, I'm the senior in this case.PFCboom said:-snip-
Out of curiosity, I took a look at your profile, which suggests that you're 29, meaning your friend would be 39 or so. I'm pretty sure age is a factor here, though I'm not sure why. Maybe his age is creeping up on him and he's lashing out at people significantly than him - say, 10 years or so? - to make himself feel better. That's just a wild guess, though.
Again, just a wild guess, but I think by now enough people have weighed in with roughly the same prognosis to make it a very good wild guess.
