MOB - Mad Or Bad
"If only" my Auntie had bollox she'd be my Uncle.
MOB was never going to be anything but arrogant, the more he received advice, the more he would do the opposite. Only his view was valid.
MOB's peculiar skill would probably have been useful a generation or two ago on the streets of Whitechapel, flogging off dodgy fruit and veg from his barrow. Unfortunately he ain't smart enough to be a Costermonger. They have the wits to look after their customers and the social skills to interact with them. MOB lacks any understanding of the notion of goodwill and sees only the sale. Short-term was his speciality - if only it hadn't been.
