Does anyone know of a way to tactfully explain to a person that they suck at something they think they're great at?

Drop your pants, turn around and...(_o_) :D

Frankly, no. I don't. Not an easy task. :(

Take my advice: Don´t. I did that before and there was almost a fight.

That always doesn't work....

I've seen a lot of sites that people want reviewed that just plain suck while they think its nice.

Humiliate him when he makes a mistake.

[meow]

You always humiliate me. Buhuuu! :crysad:

[Weapon]

cos ur a disgrace :biggrin2:

Flat out tell him he sucks as bad as meow does :confused:

Seriously though, set him up to prove the point without actually saying it....but a point he will see without thinking you intentionally did it. For example, if he thinks he's a good web designer, find a design you think is awsome, that you know he cant do, and ask him if he can do the same thing for you, but with certain improvements...

Tell them the truth "You suck". Then they might try to get better.

ROTFLMAO Kikki brings a fecal-flavored stud-covered 56-inch long and 3-inch thick rubber dildo "Super-Hubba-Bubba" imitating a copulative organ of an elephant for her little sex kitten as a memory of our their relations. ROTFLMAO

I tried that, she didn't listen and actually got a whole lot worse.

I don't really think telly a formally clinically insane person that they suck is such a good idea.

My formerly crazy friend doesn't handle humiliation to well, generally resorts to violence, and I really don't want to have to beat em down.

She has a tendency to just give up and have someone else do it for her. Furthermore, I'm better than she is at what she thinks she's great at, so she already knows that I'm not gonna ask her to do anything of that sort for me.

Hey that's no fair. You know I was having a party and someone got on my computer... and that story is all totally wrong...it doesnt mention it was meow dressed in drag going by the name Kikki, and having me fooled... looked good till the dress came up, and then the fight was on, cops showed up, etc, etc.. Not to mention it was a costume party and I was dressed as an elephant. Get the story right, the super hubba bubba was my trunk and I was walking backwards to keep my back end well away from meow!! You know how drunks get their stories all wrong.....this is what really happened!!

[meow]

No no no. You're memory fails you, old man. You are thinking of another occasion and it wasn't me in drag, it was weeps. Luckily I was sober and could tape the whole thing.

Now this link is for Webdude only (http://w1.181.telia.com/~u18109800/stuff/sugar_22.gif) to help him refresh his memory. What happened? Did you ever get your wallet back? :confused:

In that case, I'd let her continue with her foolish play till the day she realizes she's being incredibily stupid.

meow... yeah! I remember that! ROTFLMAO
I still can't believe Webdude uses GC-style excuses. :biggrin2:

And how in the world do you find such, er, extraordinary images? :eek:
