One uppers are people who always have to top what you say.

Up talkers are people who make everything that they say sound like a question.

It's cheating if you use actual questions...

I agree though? Do I think up-talkers are as bad as question-talkers? Yes I do.

I'm not sure that you can tell the difference between the two

I actually find him far less of an issue than the lazy asshole who sits right behind me. Yesterday the idiot in question was whining about how getting a request to issue an IP address for the same user twice should result in a second work order, because the MAC address provided by the user the first time wasn't correct. Issuing an IP address takes maybe 3 minutes, paperwork and all.

The same guy said to a co-worker, last week, not to do so many work orders while we were working on Maple Leaf Gardens because it would make him look bad. This co-worker and I were only in the shop a couple of hours a day, at most,with the rest of the time being spent in The Gardens. I told him to do more work and he wouldn't make himself look bad.

I worked 4 days that week and did 21 work orders. The co-worker was in for 3 days and did 14 work orders. The douche who was supposed to be picking up the slack while the two of us were stuck in the new athletics centre was in for 3 days (took a 'sick' day when he was the only available tech for the rest of the campus) did 12 work orders.

Maybe this should be a 'what pisses me off..." thread?

Do you mean "my thread o' hate: hate harder?" I think you do.
