I used to work in our IT dept (of 4 people), until I recently switched to a much better paying position that is still directly IT related (although I am head of IT for a couple of 'high demand' departments..)
Anyhow, since I was the lead guy over there for almost 5 years, I am really good friends with everyone in the dept... except the new guy that replaced me... who is the 'stereotypical' moron IT person.
He's one of these types who cannot acknowledge the possibility he's wrong. He isn't 'lying' per say.. as he legitimately thinks he's right.. but just won't accept other possibilities.
Case in point - they're locking down on wireless access. He notices that one of my dept's has a wireless router (used for off-site training) and takes the antenna. Doesn't say turn it off - doesn't say anything to anyone. This was a couple months back. Now we need it - and "It works fine without the antenna - those are just for show. It has antenna's inside twice as big"
