Did you try the cliffhanger method? Like start saying something that seems vital "They are implementing a new rule, and from now on instead of X we have to do..." At wich point you wander off pretending to be distracted by a phone call, whatever. Maybe that would work on him.PS. He sounds like a total douche
I suppose he's at the extreme spectrum of the know-it-all type. "Even if I don't know shit, say anything and if I get called on it - deny, deny, deny."
ME TOO! I'm on the other end of the spectrum and ask way too many questions. Speaking of asking too many questions: may I inquire about his nationality?

American mutt.
I always assumed the guy was an ass and gave him the smallest amount of attention possible... but as soon as I became aware of is aversion to asking questions I have become obsessed. I need to know if he is capable of asking a question....
It's not a question of imagination, if you heard some of the shit that comes out of his mouth then you would know. It is just the manner in which it is delivered. The you are a complete asshole for not knowing what is so obvious to the Great Mr. X. even though he doesn't know shit.
Tell him you fascinated with his personality and you wanto to know more about him... if he don't ask why ill chop off my ding dong
This should be interesting...I wish I had an obnoxious asshole at work to test! hrmph! My workplace is lame.

You might want to hold off on that until we develop an understanding of his (as Donna puts it) pathology. I put it as such, He is a fucking weird asshole.... too weird to stake your man tackle on.

Are you sure? This one has been running below the radar for almost a year. I think everyone needs to re-access their workplaces prospectively. Is Mr.X the only statement maker? I need to know how wide spread this phenomenon is.
Good point. I'll check around. I know I've got one guy who ALWAYS asks questions. Like instead of giving answers. I hate that.
also, I have a good knock knock joke if you need one.

knock knock.who's there?
Dwayne.
Dwayne who?
Dwayne the bathtub I'm dwowning! or you can sub "Pwoony" for "dwowning". Either way you're going to sound completely queer. (not that there's anything wrong with that.)
that is so gay... got anything else.
nope. All knock knock jokes are queer because they're for kids. I've never heard a good adult knock knock joke. Anyone??
But you don't have to worry about it because all you want to know is if he's gonna say "who's there?" or not. Once he does that you could just walk away.
Knock knockWho's there?
I ate mop.
I ate mop who?
Did you, now? I don't know if i'd be admitting that to too many people....
OK, in general I don't like the knock-knock jokes, but these are funny. Thanks Tom, Gretchen.

Example: A friend of mine's , boy sneaked out of the house to go play with his girlfriend at 2 AM. (I think they are both 15-ish) Anyway The kid gets caught and punished. The next day I made a comment about so'n so's kid sneaking out last night and "X" makes the statement
"I know what he did, there are tracks in the snow down by copper center lodge they go all over the place the little bastard must have had a great time."
Forget about proof he just fills in the blanks with whatever idea jumps into his head and it becomes fact. This conversation made me realize I have never heard this guy ask a question. Not one. In our job you have to ask questions, it's complicated and people aks questions when they do complicated things. For the next 3 days I had tried to "trick" him into asking a question. Forming the conversation in a way that would make asking a simple question the path of least resistance. The force is strong with this one. I have since let a few other people in on this operation and we have so far failed. He makes you correct him, then argues about you correcting him. Well if you would just asks sometimes asshole!
