The Loser


There's a guy i know. He's not a friend, but just a guy who hangs around this place i work. He comes to my shop every once in a while to look at the stuff i have and more annoyingly, to come over to talk about gossip that i really don't give a shit about. I used to silently take it and let most of it slide in one ear and out the other with an intermittent, "Mmhmm, yeah i know what you mean."

This is where the guy has really gotten under my skin. This asshole is a myopian, who can't see his own faults and also doesn't realize the irony or the poetic justice every time i hear this guy talk about someone who actually has a job.. or worth something. This dude hasn't held a job in over four years, has no equity, no property, and no credibility to his name.

He just talks, and the more i let him... the more his low IQ just buries him deeper. He has been trying to tell me all of these stories about people i could care less about. So, finally i started asking him, what does that matter to you?

Started telling him, Hey, dude... i don't know who those people are. It finally started to work.

Next...

This guy came around to brag that he and his girlfriend just got an apartment. I need to back track just a little... this loser has a girlfriend. A girlfriend that he spent months telling me that she was his ex. She's a cute little nerd thing with a bright smile, big boobs and a nice enough butt... so, i started fucking with the ex-girlfriend thing. If he was going to call her his ex and make her sound like she's the one who can't get enough, despite coming to hang out at work with her every day to make sure no guys came to talk to her. THAT bugs me.. the insecure guy who has to make sure no one slides a finger into his stolen apple pie while he's not looking.

So..
I started hitting on his ex-girlfriend. Playfully though and she knew what i was up to. I may be a scoundrel, but i do not pretend that Sativa is any kind of burden to me. I told this guy's girlfriend, the simple truth is.. HE needs YOU more than you need him. She played along. All i had to do was start telling her, "Hey girl, you look REALLY pretty today.",while they walked by. Individually, i would tell him things, like " You know, dude.. whenever you call her your ex, that just gives guys the impression that she's free."

That went on for a couple of months till he came over elated and announced that he and his gf just got an apartment together.

Wait for it......

The lease is in her name and..... his mother's name.
He then laughs and tell me that when he gets mad at her, he can kick her out.

On what grounds?

The guy is forty years old and can't even sign a lease. The guy has a girlfriend that he doesn't deserve. He needs this girlfriend to buy him his expensive Kylo Ren mask and lightsaber so he can run around like a grown idiot in a man-dress.

It's hard for me to look at him as a man. Honestly, because i don't want to be that guy. Before we started our business, i floundered in jobs. I am more than capable to do anything i set before me, but employers tend to take advantage of that. There have been times that I have been unemployed and depressed, and struggled to find work. I would measure my worth that way.. and i knew when i wasn't in any position to talk shit about people putting forth effort into their endeavors.

This guy can't recognize this aspect. He's nothing more than a gossip mongering old lady with nothing better to do between pretending to be a comic book hero and taking full advantage of the women in his life.

Curious, but if you consider the former "a gossip mongering old lady" why not put an end to it? Gossips need an audience and you are giving him one. JMO.

Well, i never did say that I'm any kind of filter for his gossip. I also tried to mention that I've asked him point blankly, what does it all matter?
Personally, i really don't understand why he has ever felt comfortable enough to share the stories around me, it's like a compulsion for him.

Ironically, here i am venting about him... which can be misconstrued as gossip.
