Had an arse hole of a foreman once, always trying to impress in front of customers and other tradesmen. He thrived on making the lads look small.
Tried it with me just the once, in front of the boss.
I was laughing and rubbishing his proposed pipe runs, that were virtually impossible.
He went bright red and had a full blown wobbly, informing us that he had forgotten more than we knew.
To which I replied "thats the problem you have forgotten everything you were taught"
Took a while to sink in, but he did make a sharp exit
Even the boss laughed.
