To offense to any body!! i'm workin in a warehouse with that guy that's 20 years older and he's arrogant!!

I'm 19 and i'm in college. I'm workin in a warehouse where my partner is 20 years older than me. he always say that it's a blessing to live 41 years. He try to make me beleive that the fact that he's older than me, i have to agree with everything he says. sometimes he doesn't make no sense @ all but he always try to make it look like he's right! He's really negative. He tells me sometimes that not everybody who goes to college get a job. ( maybe he wants me to leave college and be like him) his daugter is 19 and she just got pregnant. Some times i think why would this guy tell me all those nonsense stuff while her daugther is having sex while he's @ work. I always tell hime that the fact that i'm 19 dosen't mean that i'll let him brainwash me! He's the kind of gguy who listens to what ever someone says and try to make it look like he's teaching me something. sometimes, i tell him not everybody know what they R talkin about. Please help me!! how can i make this guy happy?

Answer:
You can't make him happy he has lived life and what he says is true. The problem is his attitude and you can't change that so whatever you tell him he will have story to tell.

I don't think you can. I know a guy like that and he just always has to be right and if I suggest that there is another way to do things he says my way is wrong even though I know its not. Sorry the only thing I do is let him do things his way and watch him fall right on his butt and find out the hard way. (Its funnier that way too)

You can't make him happy. You're right, just because he's 20 years older than you doesn't mean that he knows more than you or is even wiser than you. Reaching a certain age doesn't make a person wise (if it did, there wouldn't be wars). Maybe your co-worker has had bad experiences and they've made him bitter and critical of younger people. That's neither your fault nor your problem. If I were you., I wouldn't try to "make him happy" but I also wouldn't respond to his negativity. I suggest that you only talk to him about work-related things when you must talk to him at all. When he starts talking nonsense, walk away or turn your Ipod up so that you can't hear him. Ignore him whenever he says something critical or if he tries to instigate an argument. Only respond to him if he says something that respects your opinion. If he were truly mature, he would realize that people don't have to agree on things, they simply need to respect the fact that everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion.

you should tell him to be less arrogant.

You can't, no matter what you say to this guy, he will say the opposite. If you start agreeing with everything he says, you will hate yourself for it. Just know that your are in college and on your way to something better, while he is stuck in a dead end job. You won't be there for ever.
Oh, and obviously he does not know everything or else he would have prevented, through education, his daughter from becoming a teenage pregnancy statistic.

i guess your birthdate and his is somewhere in here: 1,10,19 or 9, 18, 27

Just tell him you have your life plan all laid out and you will stick to it. You have your opinion, and he has his own, and you have your own point of view and he has his own, but you live in a world very different from the world he lived in, and you will experience it personally.

Don't bother trying to make him happy. Waste of time. Let him talk but that does not mean you will do what he says.
