After the second leg like this, I warned the FAs to grab a seat during the brief as it would be long... while I chose that time for preflight.

He's one of those guys that wants to prove that he knows more about every subject than everyone else.
For example, I got a lecture on how when we call out runway/dep/first fix that calling the runway "27L inside and outside" is not in the book and not valid. "Verified" is the only appropriate callout since that's what is in the book.
"But... it's in lower case letters... that's an action, not a callout. You're trying to make this into SOPA/SMAC. It's not. How you verify it is up to you, as long as you are verifying that you're in the right place and the runway is in the box."
"ITS NOT IN THE BOOK. YOU SAY VERIFIED."
It was like that for literally everything. As I'm sitting over there like:

Just flew with an anal retentive Marine. Like your guy, he was just plain wrong about quite a few of the minutia he tried to enforce. He's gonna be on a lotta no-fly lists when he upgrades.

I had a guy like that who when I attempted to express an opinion that differed from his version related to a Vol 1 procedure (and the latest bulletin) took his left hand and put it over his right epaulet, and then revealed it saying, "Let's see who is right. It's me." He won TOTY.

wipes. I'll stay in LA, we have one or two but most are harmless decent dudes. I flew with a guy recently who told me that he'd only do one walk around a rotation. I said, "damn, that's unfortunate, I only do one per rotation also." Thankfully, he laughed....and did his fair share.

In fact at one point I said "look, you've got one more stripe than me, so whatever... I'll do it if you're going to make a deal out of it. That being said, you need know that what you're saying is not standard and that's why people aren't doing what you expect them to do."
Didn't help, though.
