They think I'm the stupid colleague
my colleague turned to me last week and tried to show me how to do a search on the website we run. He was quite shocked that I already knew how to do it. Through the big 'SEARCH' box in the top right hand corner of the screen. He insisted on repeating the search for me though, and was again shocked that he got the same results.

Actually, I think this may just be because he's a patronising shit who thinks all women are morons.

ah yes
I've worked with one of them. He was quite surprised that I knew what a phlebotomist is even though I have a degree in medical science (it's someone who takes blood - it came up once or twice...). He was trying to show off his new found knowledge and didn't expect anyone to actually be able to answer "Hey, do you know what a phlebotomist is?". He was also continually surprised by my ability to do simple highschool maths, expecting me to be as dumb as him. I think these smug gits just can't actually conceptualise that other people can understand and do things that they don't understand themselves.

But my real win was when I finished my PhD only 6 months after him even though he was "nearly finished" when I started my honours year (5 years earlier). Take that, smug git :)

I have the PhD joy too
mine took 3 years, 3 months, colleagues took 7 years. Apparently that just makes him more experienced than me.
