Guy A: Exactly.

Politician 

Someone who can talk for hours and never actually say anything.

Person B: Maybe he should've been a politician.
Person A: Perhaps.

Rookie mistake 

A mistake that is caused by a lack of experience, a lack of attention, a lack of care, or any combination of the 3.

Person A: My roommate was playing Grand Theft Auto the other day, but it was his first time playing a game in the series. That part became clear when he tried stealing the first parked car he saw... only to immediately get a wanted level because there was a police car nearby that he somehow didn't notice.

Person B: Talk about a rookie mistake.
