Insecure Boss Blows Up Because Employee "Doesn't Assume He Is A Genius"

This one is weird. One of those "help me help you" moments in which an adult tries to pull rank and claim geniushood because he assumed some kind of ill will from our original poster over their text messages, in which the poor guy was just trying to help troubleshoot some laptop and cell phone tech problems. It looks like this was a long text message conversation that pretty much ended in an argument rather than this boss thanking his employee for taking time to help him troubleshoot over text. Why so bitter? Apparently, this employee is quitting his job anyway, which sounds like a good move. Having a boss who not only assumes ill intent but explodes at the smallest thing and also demands to be treated like he is a literal genius is just a bad situation entirely. Who the hell is this insecure?

For some real hardcore boss stories, here's a manager who ended up getting auto-insulted hundreds of times a day as well as a Walmart manager who fired a guy from a job they didn't have. Half of this is just a guy trying to help his boss fix his computer; it doesn't get weird 'til around number 12 or so.
