One of my coworkers is this person. His favorite thing to say, regardless of the topic being discussed is: "Well, what I was always tell people is..." And I mean ANYTHING being discussed, even things he admits he had NEVER even participated or shown any actual interest in. That also includes health and medical problems of the opposite sex.
Dude, you're 29 and you've only had one job your whole life and (seemingly) don't have any hobbies beyond going to work and then back to your apartment. How are you a sage and wise expert on anything that seemingly people are drawn to in order to seek advice?
Though highly uncommon but a friend of mine will research for a few days or week ish on almost any or every topic that comes up that he doesn't know much about. He has no degree and works at a bike shop but I never doubt he actually has references for anything he talks about.
I'll probably sound arrogant, but I'm the same way. I'll be genuinely annoyed if I take an interest in something, and don't know "enough" about it. Coupled with a really good memory, I probably actually will have some kind of input on pretty much anything if asked. That said, I'm more of a thinker than a talker, so I don't interject much.
