How do you deal with assholes in life?

lesserspottedchloe

been friends with this guy for years, I knew he was a bit of a bitch and always fighting with people but never paid much attention really. Recently I've become VERY aware of the fact that he's more than a little bit of an asshole! Out of nowhere he started to say some really nasty particularly hurtfull things to me on nights out. He waits til im on my own and is perfectly pleasent up until he starts at me(especially in front of people). I have never done or said anything to or about him to deserve this and even defended him in a few situations! I was initially very upset with this and hurt that he could get away with it as he was so sly but the best remedy is to totally cut them out of your life-no phonecalls,texts,nights out-nothing. We have mutual friends and I try not to hang out with them if he's there.I also don't talk about him or what he does to any of them-let him be the dick!.Just don't drop to their level-that's what they want as everyone thinks it's a fair fight.I feel much better since I started doing this and I'm much more happy! Being friends with manipulative freaks like this actually leaches the joy out of your life-don't give them any air and they'll soon start to look elsewhere!

Looks like a good read. I work really hard in work trying to get our work out on time and to the workshops high standard of finish. To be walked all over and treated like crap just p's me right off. I often thought of slacking off and do less and less but it's not in my nature and I don't want the customer to suffer because he's being a douche.

was in work today and a**hole number 1 walks up.

him: "can you help me lift a few things in ten minutes"
me (knowing it would take him far less than ten minutes): sure give me a shout when your ready, ill be near by
him: rudely "just come back in ten minutes"
I pottered around near him and watched him try lift the heavy stuff as it hadn't been 10 minutes
went over after ten minutes
him: "sure its done now, you're too late"
me: "next time give me a shout as I offered"

he didn't like the way I was so friendly! good fun though

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.

punch him 50 euros worth of punching , sorted

he will know why - you will get your moneys worth - dont stroke from your mates
