"He's too smart for his own good." TOO SMART? How is that ever possible? And how does being "too" affect one's own "good"?

Got an example you'd care to share?

    "Too smart for one's own good" means being over confident or cocky.  When one gets in this state, they usually do something very stupid.
    (it's also called being "to big for one's britches").
