If I am in a good mood, I tolerate it, but if Im tired and just trying to get something, done, I find it beyond annoying , and always try to find a snarky reply This guy could not pack my lunch for most projects, yet he always attempts to micromanage whatever I am up to
Does he think he is smarter than I ? Ive lived next door to the guy for 25 years, he has watched me build hundreds of vehicles , trucks, buildings, , concrete work, excavation , construction , tractor maintenance, etc.. you name it . Ive only seen him build a garden, and maybe plant a tree here and there .
I called him captian obvious a few weeks back and he just started talking to me again.
Id just keep my comments to my self .

I used to tend bar. There was a regular customer that I really didn't like. I was happy to get him a drink, but I didn't want to chat (he always did). In an effort to cause him to leave me alone or go sit at a table and use a waitress, I was a dick to him. I'd get him drinks, but wasn't nice, was snarky, etc.... He seemed to love it and the worse I was the more attached to me he seemed to be. He did mellow, so I guess it sort of worked, he didn't leave me alone, but did get more tolerable.

Your guy probably tells his wife that he's going to chat with his buddy when he comes to talk to you.
