The incompetence of this kind of character seems obvious in retrospect but I've found if you've only ever worked with competent people it's dangerously easy to miss these guys.
This reminds me of one of my all-time favorite PG lines:
I've found that people who are great at something are not so much convinced of their own greatness as mystified at why everyone else seems so incompetent.
- ardit33 18y agoThere are things that I asume/take for granted other people know, and sometimes I am suprised when they say "oh, wow, I didn't know that". Really? The older I get, the more I get this kind of response from other people, which might mean I am acumulating some kind of knowledge, but still it has failed to register on me exactly how much more I do know from other people, so this also has kept my ego in check.
