How do you deal with assholes in life?

letsallgotothe

Whether in work or simply a soon to be ex friend whats your strategy in dealing with people who you can no longer stand to be associated with?

Personally I find that cutting off the person completely from me in every single way-physically ignoring the person in real life and blocking/ignoring them online is a blunt but effective way of deleting people from my life. This is especially useful against people who try to 'inject' themselves into you.

Avoid them. Life is too short.

I'm not sure ignoring a rapist would be effective.

Why would you let someone get to you to that extent? I'd ignore them alright, i wouldnt go putting myself out. Be less of an asshole then them and go about your life with a bit of dignity and cop on.

Oh_Noes

Just be the more mature person- smile and nod.

Blast them with piss usually

Maldjd23

Be annoyingly nice to them...It will bug them way more then being confrontational...Has worked for me for years...:D

Try avoid them if possible, not always easy if you have mutual friends.

Solnskaya

wash them regularly to avoid smells, use soft toilet paper, and have a high fibre diet to avoid piles, we're talking arseholes here, right? re-checks thread title..

It's very surprising; the levels you'll find arsholes at as you travel through life. Listen to the waffle and pay attention they may have got there for a reason though most of the time it seems like it's because of the incompetencey of their superiors.

Golden rule: Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I hate myself for saying this but it happens to be one of the only situations I'd consider it appropriate.....

Blast them with piss!

If you look up to assholes, at some stage you will be getting shat on, its just physics.

Generally ignore them. Not give them the time of day.

Ok its not that I love where I work, I love what I do. The latest incident was where he came in one morning shouting "Morning Girls". Myself and my friend didn't respond and he said "Well don't talk to me you pair of cùnts"

Try not to have a slip of the tongue, you'll end up in the ****.

Why didn't you reply?? Maybe youse were being a pair of cnuts. You'll take his money, but not his witty banter. Feckin typical. Why not just reply"Morning big boy, you're looking especially rideable today, fancy a blowjob, ya knob?" Works for me anyway.

a few years ago i fell out with a friend, he really, really anoyed me.
at the time he was on the dole and working full time so i

: i gave his name to the social welfare office and told them where he was working.
: i called the customs because he used green diesel all the time.
: told the guards that he had no insurance for his vehicle
: rang the dog warden and said his dog wasnt lisenced


i know it was a cruel thing to do but, s**t happens

Sadly 90% (?) of the time you dont know an asshole is an asshole until you've gotten to know them. Which means there actions are going to be a bit more annoying, even hurtful than just some randomer being an ass.


as to how to deal with them?
... break away from them. The only people you should still keep around who are negitive in life is your family ... Even that can have its limits in situations. But you give your family more than what you give other people in life. thats just the way it is.

Avoid them if possible. If I have to work with them be an asshole back.

There is a difference in "sh*t happens" and being a vengeful.
Lets be honest you probably didnt find anything he was doing to be an issue until he rubbed you the wrong way. The only question is what he did to encure your wrath? ... if he did something nasty, your right. sh*t happens. if he did something small or petty and you went out of your way to screw him over? yeah... you're the d*ck,

yes It can be difficult but life is to short to dwell on things. avoid them as much as possible.

I like to engage with them at every viable opportunity. Assholes are interesting a lot of the time.

Basically just be as calm as a junkie sheep and talk to them as if they were a very drunk child. It can be pretty fun and informative. Really.

Holy ****...:mad:

Is it an open plan office? Did others hear him say that?

Thats the kind of thing where you should take him aside and politely remind him that thats not on, otherwise you might end up having a chat with HR.

Well I've been living with myself for 32 years now so I know exactly the best strategy to use :pac:

Yakult

Met up with an old mate recently, used to be best friends up until a year ago but he was heading down a dark path filled with drugs and crime so I thought "screw that" dont want to get remotely involved with anything he does so I slowly drifted away from him.
Met him yesterday and offered him a drive into town. On the way I stopped to go into the shop, came out and then dropped him off a few minutes later. Little did I know until last night that he had actually robbed my 50e which I had in my driver's side compartment
Dont know what I should do, not a violent person by any means but thats just taking the biscuit. Didnt think he would have done such a thing to someone who was he's best mate for 4 years.

its awful but it sounds like hes become an addict. drug addicted people will quite literally steal from their sick old granny never mind a mate. if i was you id just forget about it and be very wary of him in future,hes obviously got problems.

That sucks bro, hopefully it was the fact he might be on heroin or something that made him steal it and not just coz he was a total asshole, i mean if he needs it for a fix it's at least a little more understandable.

Yeah me too. I kinda wonder what happen in their lives that made them that hard and heartless.

How being nasty to someone else, stranger, friend or family can somehow make them feel better about themselves.
People like this are generally so self absorbed they rarely think of the damage they might inflict, emotionally, on another human being.

Broken wing syndrome attracts ass holes like flies on honey (im having a good day, lets leave it at honey shall we )

That being said, i'm rather partial to The dome, so what that makes me i dont know
