SUPER ELITE UPPER TIER
So guy I work with is a super nice guy. Like, really nice. Old army guy who would do anything for you. BUT....
He'll often "fact check" irrelevant things I say and report back to me with the results. We were talking about Detroit and I said, "It's right next to Canada. Just across the river." He said, "Really? I didn't realize it was that close." Later that day, I saw him again and he said, "Hey. I checked with Bob in Detroit and you were right. He said Canada is right across the river from Detroit."
I mean, I was just making small talk. It had nothing to do with anything other than filling silence. But not only did he feel the need to fact check it, but he felt like he had to report back with the results. I think that's so weird. And he does this all of the time. All weird things that have nothing to do with work. Just so strange.
