Current Events > Guy 3 is a piece of shit (two parts)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Part 1 is foosball related

We had a quality game of foosball today, Guy 4 and me against Guys 2-3. I was paired against Guy 3 (i.e. I was on the defensive handles, he was on the offensive handles). Though Guy 4 and I ended up winning, I kept getting scored on from the front because of what we call "putbacks," where I try to simply clear the ball from my zone and move it up the table, but my shot gets rejected and blasted back into the goal.

Normally it's not a big deal, that happens. But it got to the point where I stopped trying to aim my clears and was just fucking blasting it wherever. And yet, out of sheer luck, he kept getting these putbacks, because I just coincidentally shot it right at his guy. Again, not really a huge deal, but he started talking shit about how I was "getting read" and shit, like he's this hot shit about how good he is at reading my game, even though I literally was just firing randomly towards the end, so there's no fucking way he's "reading me" when even I'm not reading myself.

Fortunately we still won, so we got the last laugh.

Part 2 is different

I was going to target over lunch and he asked if I could pick up some tin foil for him and he'd venmo me back. No big deal, I'm going so why the fuck not. So I get the foil (and my shit) and come back. He's not at his desk, so I leave the foil and the receipt on his desk.

Later that day when he is back online, I IM him and just say "my venmo is @(redacted)." His response is "come here." Not really caring enough to ask why, I stand up and go over. I don't bring my phone. He goes "where's your phone?" I say I don't have it. Again, not caring enough to start an argument, I go get my phone. I open my venmo and hand it to him, asking what he needs, and he goes "do you not know how to use venmo?" I ignore the question while he takes it and opens up the fucking QR scanner to add me that way.

like are you fucking kidding me? I skyped him my username so he could fucking add me without me needing to stand up. Why the fuck did you have to call me all the way over here (which is just two desks lmfao but I didn't care enough to push back)

ON TOP OF THIS:

He venmos me $3.99. The exact cost on the receipt. Not $4 even, not $4.25 to make up for tax, not even $5 to account for the fact that I did him a favor by saving him a trip, while also costing myself a minute or two in target when i went out of my way to find foil.

Mind you, I'm not throwing a hissy fit over a fucking quarter or a dollar, but it's about the fucking principle. He's a turd who goes out of his way to be an asshole to everyone else and maintain this misguided sense of superiority and/or "being right" about the dumbest things. Which is not what adults do. If I was as childish as he was, I would've asked why the fuck he needed me to stand up and go over to his desk to scan my venmo QR code instead of just fucking adding my username.

what an asshole.

seriously

we need a 4th for foosball and i went to ask him if he wanted, and he gets all pissy with the way he replies, "no, I've actually got stuff to do!"

I know text doesn't convey the way someone talks or speaks so that sentence seems pretty innocuous, but holy shit dude

i honestly don't know which is more annoying, the fact that 90% of the time he's fucking around on his phone anyways, or the fact that he straight up refuses to play a minute before 4pm because he's like this super rigid rule-follower. He refuses to leave a second before 5pm, gets shocked when someone poses a game of foosball outside of 11-1 or before 4, and is just all around boring to be around.

i think he just gets hard because he knows we need one more, thus putting him in a position of power, so he can say no and be a jackass and rob all of us of our fun, WHICH HE ALWAYS FUCKING PLAYS ANYWAYS

He reminds me of Dwight off the office, lol
Why not just play 1v1?

If I was as childish as he was

Buddy, have you ever read your own posts?

Eh 1v1 and cutthroat just aren't the same. It doesn't get nearly as competitive and it doesn't feel like a "real" game to anyone.

Buddy, shitposting anonymously on a message board is less childish than openly being a child at the literal workplace IRL.

Plus he says some of the dumbest shit during the games. For example, I line up to attempt to defend a particular shot. Someone ends up scoring the shot I was trying to defend. I go something like "aw shuckskadoodles, and that's the exact shot I was trying to defend!"

And he always responds with shit like "Looks like you weren't!"

What a fucking douche. Like one time would be funny. But it's every single time that he has to snark this reply. So I've basically just stopped saying anything relating to goals and shit because his auto-reply of something shitty just isn't worth it.

I dunno what Guy 2's deal has been. Since our boss has been gone for the last 3 days, he's been totally uninterested in foosball. Like I asked him just now, already having Guys 3-4 ready to play, and while he's deadass on his cell phone on facebook, he goes "I can't right now."

Fortunately Guy 5 said five minutes so we'll see if that holds up, but it's weird. Guy 2 was telling me he actually hates playing with Guy 1 (our boss) because he gets so overly competitive and pissy when he loses, so I figure he'd be all over a chance to play without getting bitched at.
