Tell me about your mother…

Standard

Idiot started talking about how he never, ever cries. The conversation shifted to him talking about his childhood, his mother and the rest of his family. Perhaps some of this is insight into why he is a Grade A asshole in his adulthood?

Taint: “So you’re saying that you never cry no matter what?”

Idiot: “I have not cried since before I was 6 years old.”

Rat-Boy: “Come on…”

Idiot: “According to The Wife there was a tear in my eye when we were watching Marley and Me, but she’s wrong. She’ll swear that there was if you ask her about it, but she’s wrong.”

Taint: “What about at your wedding?”

Idiot: “HAH! Not even close. Listen, I didn’t even cry at my mother’s funeral.”

Rat-Boy: “Wow! Did you love your mother? I’m just asking if you, like, didn’t get along with her or something.”

Idiot: “Of course I loved my mother! Unlike the rest of my family. She was very sensitive, not like me.”

Rat-Boy: “You don’t get along with the rest of your family?”

Idiot: “You know why I didn’t cry at my mother’s funeral? I wasn’t going to let any of those pieces of garbage at her funeral have the satisfaction of seeing it.”

(Well that turned very dark, very fast. I wasn’t expecting to go from Marley and Me to… that)

Taint: “If you never cry, then what do you do when something happens in your life that’s really sad or stressful?”

Idiot: “I’m a tough guy! I already take medication for high blood pressure. I have lots of ways for relieving stress. I party hard on the weekend. I’m a member of a gun club. I like blowing stuff up.”

(Aren’t we supposed to not talk about hobbies involving guns and explosives at work? I should verify that in the employee handbook…)

I’m going to end it here for today. More disturbing than funny this time. I can neither predict nor control what comes out of this guy. I am just a messenger…


Ordering lunch like an asshole

Standard

It’s close to lunch time (past 11am anyway) and Idiot is getting hungry.

Idiot: “I’m dying for Chinese today. I just don’t want any of that MSG on my food.”

Hyena: “Well ask them not to put it on.”

Idiot: “Yeah if I ask for it without MSG it will probably take an hour before it’s ready.”

Hyena: “Why do you care anyway?”

Idiot: “That shit is terrible for you. I can’t believe you don’t know that. I think it’s designed to tenderize the cheap meat.”

(So your favorite Chinese place uses cheap meat, but you’re worried about the MSG? ooookay…)

Idiot: “Screw it, I’m getting a burger instead.” Speaking to the group now, sarcastically: “I know you’re all very curious about my lunch.”

(For fuck sakes! You’re aware that your loud speaking voice is annoying everyone around you, yet you don’t even try to keep it down? Double fuck you fat boy!!)

Idiot: “I want it pink in the middle. If it kills me, so be it! I like it undercooked!”

(Don’t forget your large fries and jumbo soda too, you bloated meat sack! Maybe all three together can kill your fat ass. If that doesn’t do it, next time substitute a poutine for the fries…)

Idiot: “If it’s not cooked right, or service is shitty, I’m not tipping them either.”

(or perhaps just because you’re an asshole who never tips the people who feed you…)

As I’m typing this blog post, it occurs to me who Idiot reminds me of: Farva from Super Troopers.

Similarities between fat-bald-idiot and Farva:

  1. Idiot is also an asshole to the people he works with
  2. Idiot also tries to be funny but isn’t
  3. From the way he talks, I will infer that he is a total dick to the people who serve him food

If you haven’t seen Super Troopers you absolutely should. The movie is hilarious! I would totally lose it if people started calling Idiot “Radio”. Extra funny if he didn’t understand why but they kept doing it anyway. Seriously… watch the movie. TEAM RAMROD!


Just as the day is winding down, Idiot drops this one…

Idiot: (to teammates) I have an app loaded and ready on my phone to record you guys. I want to catch some of those one-liners.”

Really? Nothing inappropriate about that?

I think you should start wearing a body cam and pitch it to Hollywood for a reality show. It would fit right in between Swamp People and Duck Dynasty.


Old School Death Squads are funny

Standard

Idiot and Hyena start the morning with an argument about which character from Old School (movie from 2003) was the best. After some fierce debate, Idiot declares that Old Blue was the best. (Didn’t he die?) Hyena isn’t having it. Frank the Tank is the best. (I’m with Hyena on this one) They agree that if they were in the movie, those are the characters they would have played. (Why doesn’t anyone ever pick Mitch?)

Out of nowhere the topic changes to current events in the news. The Philippines just elected a new president who advocates for vigilantes and off-the-books killings by police. Naturally Idiot has to start spouting off about it…

Idiot: “Here come the Death Squads! HA! HA! HA! Philippines is screwed now!”

Normally this would just be regular annoying idiot-ranting like any other day of the week. Problem is this: Idiot’s teammate is a recent immigrant from the Philippines. I’m positive that she has family members currently living there. She’s sitting ten feet away when he’s saying this inconsiderate shit. I think, maybe he’ll let it go and move on to sports news or something… anything! But oh no… not today. Idiot read some political news and now he needs everyone to know how smart he is. He turns to his Filipino teammate and says: “So how about that new president? I hear he’s bringing back the Death Squads!

(/facepalm)

Maybe Idiot didn’t read past the first paragraph of the news story. Perhaps he would have read that the Philippines was ruled by a murderous dictator as recently as 1986. Or maybe he did know and just didn’t give a fuck. Either way – dick move.
