Eating humble pie

[Another complaint. You have been warned]

I couldn't solve a problem in the B.P.O.E. and I had to seek the advice of the technical consultant from another company we work with in this project. The consultant(also his colleague) I worked with accompanied me.

The consultant, let's call him Nice-Guy, explained the problem. Then Mr know-it-all began explaining it to me. I shook my head as a show that I couldn't understand.
"Then get someone better", he said and turned away.
What, what??

Nice-Guy stepped in to smooth things over, realising the problem way before I did. So Mr know-it-all began explaining it to me again. "You have to use update-task", he said.
"I don't understand what is update-task."
"Then get someone better", he said and turned away.
It finally clicked and I started to get a little angry.

Nice-guy nudged his colleague again and I got a bit more info on how to use it. But it's no use as I don't know what the heck an update-task is!!

"Maybe we can get Jose to help JW, he might know". This is Nice-guy.
"It's not that I don't want to teach him. I don't want him to mess up the code and then say I taught him to do it." He turned and looked at me. "You understand me right?"
"Yup." You bet. Just you wait.

Nice-guy caught hold of me. "We'll get Shiny later in the afternoon to explain it to you."
Thanks.

[We were later caught in our respective work. So the meeting did not take place]
