    I'm not above hating anyone, or wishing a fall or broken bone on someone but I don't think I have ever wished death on anyone. This is a relief, comforting to know I'm not all out physcopathic

    I don't wish death on an ex colleague of mine, but if I were to hear about her demise I wouldn't be sad.

    I have a Work Colleague and I wish he would die. Ever since I met him 9 years ago I disliked him. He has no redeeming qualities as a person. He is so mean I have seen him steal sugar and tea bags. He is smelly. Wont go to staff piss ups (But want's the money instead) He told me one December that as he was not going to the Xmas party and, over the course of the night the rest of the staff would have 9 drinks ? and, as he drank Smithwicks (What Else ?) he should be entitled to 9X4.45 (He checked price of a pint in the pub we were going to)

    He is not just mean, He tells on people, watches everything and lives with his mother, He is 51.
    Do you know anyone, could even be a family member, That you will have to feign regret at their demise ?
    PS He Stinks too and earns 60k to boot !
    Kint.

    You work in the civil service

    So tell the truth. You are a teenager and your advances were rejected?

    Poor personal hygiene, excessive obsession with rules and fairness (and ensuring people stick to them), difficulty creating platonic and romantic relationships are all tell-tale signs of someone on the autism spectrum.

    The false-consensus effect leads us to believe that everyone else is broadly similar to ourselves in the way we act, think and interact with others. And for the most part it's true. The problem is when someone like the OP's colleague falls far outside the bell curve, you're only capable of viewing his actions through the lens of your own mind. And thus you assume he is just a stingy, mean, horrible person, because if you acted like him, that's the person you would be.

    A little compassion goes a long way OP. He's a man with a mind that struggles to align itself with the expectations of the rest of the world. He doesn't have bad intentions, he's just interacting with the world in the only way he knows how. Account for his foibles; if they're doing no harm, WGAF; if they keep him calm/happy, then let him at it.

    Then both you and he will be able to live your lives not worrying about what other people are getting up to.

    To answer the question, no there's nobody with whom I have any direct contact that I would wish dead. Or come to think of it, nobody who's grave I would dance on. If I don't get on with someone, then they don't spend enough time in my life to become a focus for anger.

    Even extraneously I can imagine, "Jaysus wouldn't it be great now if someone killed that fncker Duteurte", but I also know that there are another 100 horrible cvnts lined up to take his place, so it's a little pointless.

    Grimes was one of the great Simpsons characters. I think OP and many people in this thread could do with watching that episode. Grimes was obsessed with hard work, appearance, playing the game. Homer was happy go lucky, didn't take himself or life too seriously. Who ended up with the big house, nice family and steady job? Homer. Who ended up so stressed it drove him to accidental suicide? Grimes.

    To wish someone is dead is a pretty strong feeling, to be honest I don't think I would feel that strongly about anyone but close family and friends. It's also a pretty negative feeling, I don't think I feel that negatively about anybody to be honest.

    They all laughed at Grimey in the end iirc. So, Homer, along with the house, family etc was a bit of a prick:). I suppose it was like real life.

    I don't get how he can ask for the price of the drinks at a party yes not going to?

    Otherwise I'd agree with seamas.

    Homer was portrayed as being thought of as a prick by many people in the community, but we were supposed to see the good side of him to balance that out. And if anyone was ever truely in bother Homer would help them out. I can't remember them laughing, was it at his funeral? They barely knew the man and didn't have and attachment to him I suppose.

    Sounds crazy but I think a lot of people would be a lot happier if they lived a little more like Homer Simpson!

    Read the first post... I work with him. I hardly gave you his shoe size did I ?
    That would be more normal than wishing him dead because he smells and is a miser with a big wage ;)

    To be fair to the OP, smelly people probably should be shot.

    Have you ever actually thought about death. How permanent it is. How you go from years of thoughts and feelings and hopes and dreams for your life to not existing, forever.

    Maybe he'll go to heaven and live on forever.
