A Walter in the Mix

[PhotoDude]

It always seem that anytime I go to a party there's that one guy who has a total Walter vibe to him. Take last night for example: I'm at this party, and there's a very cool "go with the flow", relaxing vibe going on. In walks this dude, who's vibe doesn't mix well with the one going on. He's the type of dude who has to be loud mouth of the group. The one who has to practically scream when talking, so you have to constantly remind him to keep his voice down. It's after 11 dude, and there's a baby sleeping upstairs. No matter how many times we have to remind him, he keeps doing it.

He's also the dude who when somebody is telling a story, he's gotta point out his part in it, no matter how small his part was. He does this in such a way that makes you think that he's thinking that his tiny, almost non-involvement, was a key part of the story. As if he's tiny role made the story what it was. I'm sorry dude, but it wasn't.

He's the dude that thinks he knows it all about everything there is to possibly know. The dude who has to put in his two cents when you and someone else is having a convo about something, and when he does, you are left dumbfounded because what he said made absolutely no sense concerning what you were talking about.

He's the dude that must be the center of attention, and brag about his accomplishments, making his life sound so great- only you know the truth- that all that spits out of his mouth is nothing but false tales and half truths.

Have you ever come across someone like this?

Most of the time I just abide and let him be, but it can be so hard sometimes. What do you do when you come across such a person? Do you abide, or do you call them out on his falseness?

What you do is come here and rant about it.

Feel better now dude?
