LOL @H2S
Iopchandai, I agree with you, and good to hear about your story. The guy was trying to see how fast I'd bend, I knew that. He saw Gorkhali blood probably and he backed down. Bad things about him is he goes to the CEO straight if he finds something wrong with my work. He is very talented (with no high school degree, still does "rocket science") but from the behavioral prospective, acts like a 10 year old kid. And  I sense that oil pride in this middle eastern guy - no respect for other humans at all.
But in good times, we do have lunch together all the time. The guy loves my food, and their best dish is probably the worst I've tasted (I gagged) in my whole life. He realized that and never offers me his food any more.
