My favorite was when my company hired this older guy who said he had 10 yrs experience vs. my 5 yrs. Our boss had us in a "competition" to see who would be the better senior manager, so every chance he got in front of our boss he would ask me stupid ass questions and tell me I was an idiot when I told him my answer. One day (in front of our boss) he asked me "B, if you fill this 1 liter jar w/ gas how much gas will be in the jar".
I said "uuuhh 1 liter..."
To which he screamed at the top of his lungs "YOU ARE AN IDIOT, HOW CAN YOU BE SUCH AN IDIOT?!?"
To which I asked in a calm voice "OK, you tell me how much gas would be in the 1 liter jar?"
"5 liters you idiot!"
From there all I had to do was look at my boss and ask "what did I do to you? Did I piss you off that bad, please tell me, I swear I'll never do it again.. Just please make him to go away before I shoot him."
Note: in the end he explained that he was thinking of a 5 gallon bucket, and apologized, but still the man was (and still is) an idiot thankfully I work for another company.
