I want to say I’m surprised but I’m not
I’m really curiosu why these “types” act this way?
Is it to fit in and feel accepted?
What does one gain by acting this way? What does it matter if he drove a 90s corolla? Would people not talk to him lol

This guys fronting on all his “toys” and here I am debating if I should buy a used higher mileage sienna lol

Reminds me of the buddy from one of the part-time jobs with then brand new 2002 Chevy Camero with a V6 engine.
He was so proud and said it will be a collectible. 2002 was the last year they produced the Camero until 2010

I think I ran into him about 5 years after that.
When I asked him about the Camero, he said he had sold it because it was falling apart

I had a friend that was looking at buying an s2k, this was like 10yrs ago. So I was taking about it with a coworker and when I mentioned that my friend was looking at buying one he proceeded to tell me that he currently owned 5. I was like "oh, that's cool." needless to say that was the end of that conversation.

So on Friday we had a convo about winter tires

Him: That reminds me I have to go by the dealership to get my winter tires put on
Me: (Knowing he is a crazy mechanic who custom built the engine in his Corvette himself) You go to the dealership? You don't put them on yourself?
Him: No way man, that's not something I mess with.
Me: Changing tires? Why?
Another Colleague: Yea, you swap out the engine on your motorcycle with some suped up engine and you don't change your own tires?
Me: (Ah I see he's been spewing his stories to others as well)
Him: Nah man, I don't have a torque wrench.
Another Colleague: You have all the tools to take apart an engine and you won't buy a torque wrench?
Him: This one time I changed my tires I messed it up and it cost me $500 to fix it.
Me: What happened?
Him: I don't know but they had to remove the hubcap ...
Me: ( did he really just say "hubcap"?)
Him: ... and replace everything. I'm not making that mistake again. I'll leave it to the pros. And besides they store them for me as well.

I'm not shitting on anyone that doesn't change their own tires. But if you're going to go off about doing all your own wrenching and you don't know the difference between a hubcap and the hub assembly then maybe you should let someone else handle it.

why would you even continue speaking to someone like that about anything remotely about cars?

(assuming you have to talk to this guy at work about other work stuff and you can't just completely ignore him.)

Yeah I interact with him on a daily basis, so non-work discussion surface often. Trust me, I have all kinds of non-car stories about this guy.

These people are everywhere in life. It's up to you how you want to handle it.
You could ask him follow up questions to give him enough rope to hang himself, or just nod and smile.

As a coworker, I wonder if his resume is a fun read.

Yes don't get me wrong, this isn't the first (or last) time I have come across this breed. I started the thread for everyone's entertainment. I desperately wanted to call him out many times but ultimately chose the nod and smile approach.

You should see how this schmuck conducts interviews

we have this rep from head office that comes in every so often, spewing his B.S. One day I call him out cause I caught him in a lie which contradicted what he just said a few moments prior. Now whenever he comes in and avoids me.

Hey..... At least he knew that a torque wrench was needed to do a tire change lol.

Maybe you should have said something like "why do YOU need a torque wrench, you can probably just feel it in the wrench with your hands" lmao

So whenever you conduct an interview you have to have someone else sit in on it and score the candidate. To alleviate getting HR to sit in on the interviews, managers will just ask another manager to assist. Sometimes its just to be a fly on the wall, take notes and rank the candidate, other times they want them to be engaged and ask questions. He has asked me to sit in his interviews.

I have held many interviews that are very formal and others that are very informal. At my current company they are formal. Questions have to be determined in advance and submitted to HR. Each candidate needs to have been presented with the same questions and not just a casual interview where you let the discussion take its course. Again, for fairness everyone has to have the same opportunity.

Well damn, I can see he doesn't have much interview experience. He's asking questions that are not even on the agenda. Again, this is fine in other companies and settings, but this is very formal and you have to stick to the script. I spoke to him about that. So sure enough he is now asking the questions on the script, but in his own words. What's wrong with that? Well different candidates get a different version or interpretation of the question. Additionally and more importantly, he completely changes the context of the question. He intends to ask the question, but ends up asking a completely different question which make note taking and scoring for that question rather difficult. JUST READ THE WORDS ON THE PAPER.

Oh did I mention he wanted me to write his interview questions for him?

Its also his demeanor in the interviews, he's way to casual. I'm not saying to act like a drill sergeant, but be a little more professional. For example:

Him: What's the weather like out today?
Candidate: Oh it's really cold
Him: I hear ya. We (pointing to himself and the candidate) we're not meant for this weather. We're used to 30 degrees. (the candidate was also brown \:\| )

His transition from one question to another is also questionable. After the candidate answers a question his response is "excellent", "wonderful" or "great" as he flips the page to proceed to the next question. Really dude? What interview are you sitting in, cuz this guy is bombing big time? Don't give the candidate false hope or positive feedback when it isn't warranted. They could easily turn around and question whey they weren't hired given the positive words they were hearing.

Ok I should end this rant now cuz I'm going off the deep end.

So this guy is pretty much textbook example of "that guy" that we all know or have come across.

My question that most likely doesn't need answering is if he is good at what he does, and "what he does" being at the core of my question. I can't imagine this guy doing a technical position, so he must be in some sort of "soft" type of role, which is how he has managed to still be employed while completely oblivious to his surroundings.

The other alarming issue is whether or not his direct manager is a complete idiot as well?

Is there anything good that this guy can do, he must be employed for a reason?
