Tough guy syndrome is when a guy who can do almost anything thinks he's infallible all the time and does stupid things thinking he won't get hurt or suffer the consequences. A guy who defines himself as 10 foot tall and bulletproof, man of steel. Cockiness. Its also the guy who is always working on something.
My man would not turn the breaker off when doing electrical work because it doesn't really hurt when you get shocked by 110. Tough guy syndrome is a real thing.

Get the Tough Good Guymug. A male, typically on the older spectrum, who feels the need to represent their masculinity -or "toughness"- at any given moment. They do this in a violent manner, often with threats, physical combat, destruction of property, etc. These people are always fighting for something incorrect which makes them disliked by normal people. Their natural habitat varies but they are most stereotypically associated with Walmart, parking lots, and other food/shopping chains.
"That guy's trying to fight an innocent person. He seems to want to assert male dominance here in this Walmart. He MUST be a tough guy."
