“Ah, the person at my job who bought up all the toilet paper during the pandemic so they could sell it to coworkers at an inflated price. They can keep their Mercedes. I’d rather not be a monster.” —u/Reis_Asher “Yes. This means: ‘I refuse to consider how my words might affect those around me.’ —u/Sp4ceh0rse “This is the relationship version of, ‘If you work with a guy who’s an asshole, then that guy’s an asshole. If you work with 20 guys and every last one is them is an asshole, you’re the asshole.’” —u/DerCatzefragger “‘Over half of you will quit this class before the semester ends. The other half remaining will fail.’ I had a professor say this and could only think: ‘Man, you must be a shitty teacher. I searched him up and sure enough, most people quit because the way he taught was counterproductive and half the class time was spent talking down to them. I requested to be added to a different professor.” —u/Vanishingf0x
“That bittersweet bit is entirely situational. I have cut a lot of people out of my life, and I have zero regrets about it, and am proud of myself for getting them out of my life, so I can move forward. I think you are talking about the ‘if you aren’t useful, you don’t matter’ crowd.” —u/lowexpectationsguy “An ex-buddy’s new girlfriend was bragging about being ’the terminator’ at work. Shockingly, we don’t hang out with them anymore, she was so incredibly toxic.” —u/Emergency_Flounder58 “I have a coworker who is kind of like the first one. She is generally a one-upper, and she has had a really hard life. But you can’t talk about yourself for more than 30 seconds before she has a story about either how awesome she is, or how much harder than you she’s had it. It’s exhausting.” —u/JulesLovesYou1993 “There’s a difference between being a ’nice’ person and a ‘good’ person.” —u/OneObligation412 “Yeah, I’ve been in the office since 4:30 a.m!’ Go home, Tammy, your kids haven’t seen you in 3 weeks…” —u/TheWronged_Citizen “Getting a rise out of people isn’t particularly a difficult thing to do. People just do this because they like the feeling of control that they get like they can make someone else mad. I used to do this when I was younger, but then I realized I was just being an immature asshole.” —u/SpeakerImaginary9796
