Coworker-"Well, supposably the guy etc etc"

Me-"I'm pretty sure its supposedly..."

Coworker-"GAWD YOU'RE SO ARROGANT AND RUDE YOU THINK YOU'RE SMARTER THAN EVERYONE ON THE PLANET DON'T YOU %$#$%$ YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT."

The same problem with the unhealthy curiosity, but I'm not quite sure if you can call it intelectual :)
