Have you met somebody that’s a stickler for details? Our neighbor is this way. He not only wants to be sure that he has all of the details on something, but he also likes to be right. There are occasions when I believe he simply makes things up just so that he will seem to be the authority on the topic. If his made up detail turns out to be wrong he will be able to quote some source as to where he got the information.
At times this may be aggravating, but he could be a nice person so we over look this inability. We spend a great amount of time with this neighbor and his other half. They live in Minnesota by us half a year out of the years and then they move to Florida for the other half a year. For the summer months we like to do many things together because we don’t see them in winter. One of the stuff we like to do is to meet up to play cards. We have played many various games, but the neighbor’s fave is poker. he’s the just one of us that had played before our playing together.
To start with we might giggle that the guidelines of poker that he popped up with appeared to always benefit him. One day my hubby was talking about our poker game with one of his work-mates. He discussed one of the guidelines of poker we had been following.
The work-mate asserted this wasn’t how you play. This work-mate plays poker twice a month for some significant cash, so he would know the guidelines. He explained the rule to my partner and additionally told him a site to take a look at that listed all of the rules of poker. My hubby told me about the internet site when he got home.
We looked it up and discovered that there were several things that we were doing or not doing when we played. This neighbor’s birthday was coming up so we decided that we’d get him a book of the guidelines of poker so we could all use the book to explain different things. When I went trying to find the rulebook I found a rulebook for several different card games. When our neighbor opened his present his other half thought it was great. She would don’t have to take his word for anything she could check it out. On the way home I told my man the rulebook as more of a gift for the other half than the neighbor.
