Why would I notice other engineers?
Lesser beings that annoy you and get in your way?
Ah. You’re obviously not an engineer.
You notice other engineers because you walk into them since you’re not watching where you’re going and they’re not watching where they are going.
Perhaps that would be a form of the Overconfidence effect.
Well when we collide. It’s because they are not watching where I am walking.
/end of arrogant engineer schtick
I’m an engineer, and have worked around engineers for 25 years.
The good, the bad, and the ugly. I should write a damn book on 'em.
The most serious problem? People who get engineering degrees and have absolutely no interest in engineering. :mad:
Why the hell did you suffer through engineering school if you have no fucking interest in it?! For fuck’s sake, why?? For the money? The prestige? Because it’s obvious you’re totally clueless, you will always be totally clueless, you leech off others, and you’re making the rest of us fucking miserable. All because you’re a narcissistic, self-centered douchebag who made the stupid-ass decision to get an engineering degree when you have zero interest in it. :mad:

One of the most rewarding aspects of my present job is that I don’t have to tolerate said douchebags.
Jimmy Buffet might disagree (as in (She Took My Car and) Left Me with a Nail to Drive).
Hmmm. No. That looks like it could apply to anyone, although it’s getting there.
We’re looking for a name for the effect of someone thinking that their expertise and experience in one area spills over to give them expertise in every area.
The solution is not nails, you primitive savages. It’s either duct tape or RTV, depending on the nature of the problem.
Communications? COMMUNICATIONS? So you wanted a dual major so you went with something so easy that Sarah Palin could handle it, or is that a degree in something real in Canada?
(looking)
Oh, it’s a Bachelors of Commerce up there, so it’s a little of both. :rolleyes:
dropzone, BA Anthropology except I was called an engineer for 30-some years, proving any idiot can pick up enough to fake it while on the job. Proof: Nothing I designed exploded, caught fire, or fell down when it wasn’t supposed to.

Anyone else notice the arrogance among engineers

Oh, sorry, I thought we were having a “who can ask the dumbest question” contest. I’m very competitive.
No, sometimes it would be WD40.
