So, I just want to put this situation out there....What if you were sitting at the lunch table at school and you are the new kid, obviously trying to meet people. You become involved in conversation and begin to notice that everything you say, a certain person has to constantly tell you what and how they would have handled the situation and put in their two cents on every word you speak.
For some reason, this absolutely drives me nuts. Let me list the reasons.
1) I don't know you from Adam.
2) Are you Cliff Claven from Cheers and know EVERYTHING?
3) I personally don't really care, nor asked you your opinion and I probably never will.
For some reason, this really bothers me when people act like this. I don't know if it's because I already know everything or because they have no social skills... Im leaning towards the no social skills.

Its a jeep thing..
My very dear friend wrote this and I thought I would share... hilarious!
I really can not begin to understand the whole "jeep" thing either. I personally feel it's kind of retarded. If I had a jeep, I would blow everyone off that waved at me just because it's lame.
IT'S A JEEP THING...
Ever wonder how to join a cult and drive a cool vehicle at the same time? It is simple, go out and purchase a Jeep. There is no discrimination-Cherokees, Wranglers, Commanders, Liberties, it doesn't matter as long as it is a Jeep. Once you have made the purchase, you are welcomed into a world in which you are at an elite status, and everyone around you who owns a Jeep acknowledges that. Fellow Jeep owners have now formed a bond with you, the Jeep owner, and there is a sense of pride in that! Different forms of salutionations are exchanged between you and your Jeep comrades: whether it be the friendly toot of the horn, a wave, or if you are lucky, the tilt of brim on a hat. And of course, it is only proper to give the same greeting back.
Where does that leave everyone else? Ford, Toyota, Honda-even Chrysler, a sister company? In the dust, that is where. No friendly wave is directed in your direction, and the worst thing is witnessing the Jeep owners in their innercircle, honking and waving, while you are left their in non-accepted vehicle. It makes you want to punch down on your steering wheel, or pretend to be fascinated with switching the dials on your radio, when really, you are longing for that kind of kinship.
Witnessing it is really an amazing thing. When you are a passenger in a Jeep, you don't realize what kind of ride you are in for! You hear the honk, or see the person wave and you ask, "why did they do that?" and the response is always along the lines of, "it's a fellow Jeep owner" or "it's a Jeep thing..." the answer is never quite clear, and it makes you feel even more isolated. Some Jeep owners don't have any qualms with displaying their proud belonging; they have the signs and stickers to prove it: It's A Jeep Thing; You Wouldn't Understand.
I tried once to honk at a fellow "stratus-er" but to no avail. He didn't appreciate the fact that I was honking at him, and instead of the friendly wave, I got an unpleasant gesture in the form of a finger. I was very dismayed and disappointed; it is a Jeep thing and I don't understand...but I wish I did.
