    There are some people who are physically incapable of wiping their own arses.

    It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it.

    For a short time that someone was me.

    How do you deal with it ?

    Treat it like your own.

    Try my best to ignore them.
    If they REALLY get in my face. Go through them without hesitation.


    Depends on who it is in question. If said asshole was a higher up or someone with clout. You would think twice about certain things.

    Just to be clear...you share a cigerette with the asshole, or with the person whose asshole you smacked...or with both?

    The same way I deal with all Real Life problems. . .

    that's how you deal with assholes

    If they are proper a**hole I usually use a nice blend of sarcasm and a bit of abuse disguised as banter and see how things go :D

    I would be the type of person who is always messing with friends and throwing abuse around (think a lot of Irish people kinda are) and I generally just throw a lot of this at someone whos being a dick to see how they respond. If its gets out of hand I simply say it, most of them aren't used to be confronted over being a knob and will usually back off.
    Just my 2 cents tho:)

    I worked with a lot of assholes...
    If your a girl and the assholes are guys, crying usually freaks the feck out of them. :D

    Makes them apolagise sharpish too.

    talk to them a little as possible. when i had to talk with them, i tend to drop subtle hints that i dont want to talk with them.

    actually, now that i think about it, "fu¢k off!" isn't very subtle.

    No you don't.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,683 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    To be honest, i usually just ignore whatever they did to piss me off. then, i turn it around on them by treating them as if i totally respected them. which then breeds a cycle of mutual respect, in a very effective way. if you wanna know the truth. It's called have balls and don't be afraid to use them.

    Nothing cause the boss loves him. He's alone over where he's sitting, otherwise he'd have started his usual 2 hours of Monday morning ****e-talking to the ones sitting beside him, but that'll come soon. In lieu of that he's drumming on the desk. Bloody attention whore.

    [edit]aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it starts:mad:[/edit]

    No. If ever I was an underling, I never took any crap if it got serious. Gave out to employers previously. You stand up for yourself or give others the impression you can be further walked upon.
    For the sake of keeping the peace, I many a time let idiotic fools stew in their own world and let others looking on, do their own judging - but when things got personal or outright lies were tried to be put about, that when I stood/stand up and set the record straight - and not by any small measure.

    Like most folk I don't go looking for trouble and try to avoid it for the sake of peace - but I don't allow crass idiots to run over me either in the worst cases, Stuff that!

    ignore them most of the time but tonight i decided to play a trick on her.

    Me and my mother were supposed to be off on the 2nd of july so had basically decided to have my bday session on that nite, but we realised that this girl had wrote her name down for a night off leaving only one other person to cover the shift. and even at that, the person left to do the shift is new so aint the best! and Its a saturday night so need at lease 2 people on!

    The rule where we work is when u want a night off you find out whos night off it is and talk to them and ask them to swap. We basically d out own roatas between us as our boss is there 7 nights anyway!

    But she had marked a day off which was her night to work (she does this the whole time and never thinks of saying it to anyone. this is the 5th day she has wrote in she wanted off since start of may and she only does 3 nights a weeek anyway) so we told her we had our party that night so she had to work. she then procedded to tell out boss that noone was able to cover the shift and he would be there with only the new girl! My boss blew a fuse at her and basically told her, if her or my mother aint there that night, she has no job to come back to!

    Twas sooo funny watching her reaction! She'll think twice the next time

    So, basically she followed the rules and marked the day she wanted off, you and yore ma decided you wanted it off too but hadn't marked it off and you went crying to the boss that you wanted it off??

    Surprised the new girl hasn't posted here :rolleyes:

    We need further elaboration here, do you use both sacks or just the left or right? Assuming of course you don't have a monoball.
