Ive had that too.
Its more of an issue when you have FOs with a bit of time (hence 3.5 bars) and now he thinks he can run the show and think they know the airplane, regs, etc., but don't. They dont want to listen to the CAs feedback and argue with you on every point. And because of lack of knowledge, they're usually wrong.
This is when you have to go the stick route, and put then in thier place because they are being dangerous and not practicing CRM.
Now - of course we have captains that also have these issues, but were talking about FOs who think they re captains already. And thats problematic.

the second, i was PM and he called for flaps up in a bank right at acceleration in light to moderate at about 150kts, I delayed until he rolled out and put them up. He claimed i didn't understand maneuvering speed while at about 1000ft and tried to explain it... and i told him to shut up and fly.
