Job positions and "know it all's"
I was commenting about this in one of my blogs, but I though it would make for an interesting conversation.
Anyone have a family memebers that has a job that automatically makes them an expert above thier scope of practice?
Our Bm is a part time TSA agent and went to college for ONE semester (so only did a few general classes). But because her Facebook status says she went for criminal justic this automatically makes her a judge, lawyer, and police officer. She tells us all the time how we are going to be charged because of our actions. Example: dh took ss phone away while he was exercising his parenting time. Bm said she was going to charge him with theft. She also has to google large words to make herself sound more intelligent.
I'm an HR manager and I don't claim to know everything. There are times I say inappropriate things at work and want to do a palm to face motion afterwards (also pray no one was paying attention). I also go to court a lot for unemployment cases, that doesn't make me an expert at criminal law ect…

LMAO my ex DID call the
LMAO my ex DID call the police because BM1 took my ex-SD14's phone and confiscated it. BM1 said it was not allowed at her house as ex would not give her a password to check what ex-SD14 was up to, so no checking, no phone use (ex-SD14 has been in trouble for inappropriate use). Also, last summer ex-SD14 dropped it in the pool and ex tried to call the police saying BM1 "destroyed it". Last year police laughed in exes face. This year, police told ex that he knew the rule (BM1 had proof she asked for phone to stay at his house), and if ex-SD14 chose to ignore it that was her risk, and now she would have to wait - it was not a police matter, it was a parenting choice, and the police felt BM1 was correct. If ex wanted it back he could take BM1 to court. BM1 sent the phone back the next drop off, and no issues with it coming again!

I also frequently have his new GF (an unemployed college drop out) text me health advice! I am an employed med-surg nurse, with a Master's degree. While I do not claim to know everything regarding health issues, I do know the basics of first aid and when to go to a doctors and usually her advice is asinine!
The dietary advice is the
The dietary advice is the best LOL! Ex and GF literally have no idea, and spout crap about everything constantly. It is very annoying when they are talking vitamins etc, all about food choices, and have it ass backwards! I do not even comment anymore as they are too stupid to understand. I just hang my head in shame and deny paternity at BS7's social events. I think my ex has finally figured out the reason I avoid him is because I am embarrassed to be associated rather than a desire to jump him, but who knows.
My mom tries to give me
My mom tries to give me parenting advice all the time. She was parent of two concepts; 1. She is just like all the HC BMs that are spoken about on here. And 2. She likes to end her advice with I did it with all my kids and they lived. Yes thank you for blowing smoke in my face for 18 years and raising my on TV dinners. Yesterday she suggested that I put baby cereal in BS 5 weeks bottle to calm him down. As a kid I had all my teeth pulled or capped because I had baby bottle rot. Awesome advice.
Ooh I have another one. My
Ooh I have another one. My sister just bacame a store manager of a gas station in a town that has 200 people. She loves to give me management advice and food prep advice. Before I was an HR manager I was a salaried member of management for this company and I worked in 100 million dollar stores in an area that pays me more because I might get shot. I also have my national food certification (requirement for this job). I am no expert, i still have to look up answers.
A little off the subject, but
A little off the subject, but reminded me of - My grandma went on a rant one day about young people collecting social security. She said they should not take what she earned, she never had a job in her life.
lol sounds like some women I
lol sounds like some women I know who are constantly posing crap about how "people who don't work do not deserve help from the government, blah, blah, blah"…and of course, then I ask them "so, why are you receiving SS if you never worked?" Their response is always the same "my husband worked and paid for it, therefore, I deserve it". My response is always, well, I worked, my husband works, when we get to retirement age each one of us will ONLY get our own SS or 1/2 of our spouses but NEVER both, so we paid more taxes than your husband between the two of us yet we are not ENTITLED to the freebies as you are.
Are you and I possibly 1/2
Are you and I possibly 1/2 sisters? lol or maybe your Dad is my uncle? lol ah, he sounds just like my father.
By the way, my father has a college degree he obtained because his company many years ago paid for it. He thinks he knows it all. On the other hand, my mother has no college degree and is MUCH smarter than my father will ever be. She has no degree because she didn't care to learn English and needed two more classes to have double major in Art & Science. My sister also has a degree, just like my father, she is as dumb as they come…lol

She is an idiot, not because
She is an idiot, not because of her lack of college courses, but because she is an idiot. Also, just because people use big words does not make them smart. I know plenty of morons who love to use big words, sound all fancy in their writing and the only thing they really know is big words.
With that said, anyone who constantly thinks they know it all probably is an idiot.
I would love to just
I would love to just calculate what I need to make and it's magically there.
As far as the ACTs, you are correct. my cousin did this. Got a 30 the first time around and a 32 the second. West Point military still took her!
My mom likes to give me advice on management skills. I manage 150-400 people at a time. I get transferred around a lot to help fix problem stores. Anyways, my mother has only ever been a cashier. I politely nod and say thank you. Sometimes it makes me mad because her giving me advice makes her think I am not adequate or capable to perform.
