I'd like your guys and gals inputs. I'll make my long story short: 2 yr. period at my school. I'm an active runner and frequent the track for exercise. There's this guy, about 60+ years old who is anal retentive and always demonstrates his power-trip. This guy always approaches me and others about not putting my foot on the shot-put guard while I'm tying my shoes, or not to put my bicycle on the Astroturf. I only use the track when it's not in official use i.e. for the school's organized athletic events. I carry myself in a civil and reasonable manner. I don't look for trouble.

But this guy and I, a couple nights ago, got into it. I finally had enough, we got into an argument and our voices escalated. I literally yelled, "you're just an anal rententive person with a power-trip issue...." He kinda shut up after this comment because I hit the nail right on the head. I doubt the issue is resolved.

How would you handle power-trip, anal rententive, micromanaging people?
