....and thou shalt not "lift his own chair."

I'm a bit annoyed by someone's fruitless effort to "lift his own chair" (this is a literal translation of an old tagalog "proverb")...tsk...tsk...I have met this person once or twice (many times when he was still a kid), I would think he was a "basically ok person". It just so happens that he gets on my nerves. He is guilty of being a "braggart" (for lack of a more suitable word). But I don't know, maybe it's just me.
