Yes! Usually it seems to be the guys that try to fix our problems instead of listening. It could be your more experience with been there/done that makes a difference too; you can "see" the situation better than he can because you've seen it or something like it before?

Do you ever get to see/talk to the young guy much? I think I'd be tempted to reach out and grab him by the neck and tell him a few things or threaten to tell his mother, etc. :-)
