There’s always someone in a friend group who is determined to show how much smarter they are. No humility at all, just pure smugness and a constant need to undermine anything others say.
It's not just in the outside world, though, because they also show up online. Usually with comments starting with “Well, actually...” popping up all over social media. And, funnily enough, Reddit even has a dedicated space for people to share these moments. So, if you're in the mood to get a little infuriated, you've come to the right place.
