The good old "I really know better than you. I even know better than you what it is that you want/need to do. Do it the way I tell you to, because that's how I would do it, and that matters more than what you want/need to do."-personality so incredibly prevalent in a certain sphere of programmers we are all very familiar with, who gladly spend 5 minutes pushing you down instead of spending 20 seconds to just kindly, sociably and helpfully answer your question.
