Captain mean

So on the flight from Memphis to Orlando today I set next to a guy that was probably in his late 50's to early 60s. He was well dressed in upper business casual and was with 2 other guys.

Anyway he was a big shot in his own mind. On the phone before takeoff he was belittling the person on the phone. Referring to them as stupid and incompetent. In my opinion he was doing this for the benefit of those with him. He then told a story about how he caused a scene in an airplane over checking a bag. Really over all he was acting similar to a Jr. High kid showing everyone how important they are.

In trying to make himself look important it became obvious to me how unimportant he actually was. Important and good business men do not need these tactics to impress people. Actions speak louder than words.
