Hello. I would like to know if the following has some type of name or diagnosis in psychological terms. Any help would be much appreciated.

I am currently working with a guy who answers questions as if the answer is obvious.


It goes without saying that if it were obvious then you wouldn't have asked the question yet his answer is always in this style.

This results in a rude response and a difficult work environment. Is this a psychological condition whereby people expect you to know the answer to the very question you have asked?

Hope I have given enough information.

Thanks
