I tend to lump That Guy and Arrogant Jerk together. Like, this dude in one of my Spanish classes:
Incident One: I was reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and he passed by and was all, "I hung out with Ken Kesey blah blah I'm awesome." I was so totally impressed. Totally.
Incident Two: Hispanic Civilizations class. Professor asks something like "What do we know about Peru?" (which is a really great, specific question to open review/discussion) ... expecting us to draw on things we'd just learned in the class, of course. And That Guy says like, "It has over 300 bird species living there." Uhhh?
He also liked to talk about how he refused to read news from the US but he was reading in this CHILEAN newspaper that blah blah blah. Because, you know, South America is well known for its support of its people's liberties, so their news can't be stilted at all. Dumbass.
