They’ll tell me something or they’ll mention something, and suddenly I’m all over it. I may not say it all out loud (I’m trying really really hard) but I’ll argue with them and feel like… I dunno at the time, I feel like I know better than they do… maybe it’s more a superiority complex? what do you think? anyhoo, I don’t like it.
