Stupid People that need to go: The "Yeah, I'm an asshole, so what?" guy
You're at a meeting discussing something work related and making changes to the assignments that were given out during the last meeting. The person running the meeting asks the guy next to you a relevant question:
Insignificant office character 1: Robert, did you finish gathering the...
Robert: Naah, my bad
Insignificant office character 1:...Umm, Robert, we told you last time, we need those files turned in to division by Wednesday....
Robert: I said I'm sorry, OK!?
Insignificant office character 2: Robert, we're not asking for an apology, its just....
Robert:LISTEN BRO, I SAID I'M SORRY AND THAT MEANS I'M SORRY!
Insignificant office character 3: Hey, calm down, you're...
Robert: I'M WHAT... ACTING LIKE AN ASSHOLE? WELL GUESS WHAT? MAYBE I AM AN ASSHOLE, BUT YOU SHOULDN'T ALWAYS BE IN MY BUSINESS LIKE THAT, OK? NOW FOR THE LAST TIME, I SAID MY BAD, SO LET'S JUST MOVE ON, OK? I'M WILLING TO TAKE THE HIGH ROAD ON THIS ONE, OK, BRO?
Why this person is an asshole:
This guy is a 3 pronged, multi-layered breed of asshole because:
1) He's an asshole.
2) He knows he's an asshole, and does nothing about it.
3) He always manages to piss people off even more by acting like the victim.
None of this is his fault. A normal person would realize what they did, and then apologize accordingly. Not this guy. Because if you hadn't been all up in his grill like that, maybe he wouldn't have reacted so badly. And if you knew all the crap that's been happening in his personal life, you wouldn't be so quick to judge him.
In the previous example, that whole ordeal could have been avoided by simply doing what most people would have done in that situation; lied and said he had done the reports then some wild animal devoured them and all that's left is a few scraps of paper with teeth marks everywhere.
Since he's such a loose cannon, its hard to know what will work. Your best bet is to up the asshole ante. This guy lives off of people apologizing to him, and him taking advantage of them for doing so, like a lion attacking the weakest antelope in the herd. Being extra kind with him only makes him more of an ass. Therefore, as soon as this guy gets out of line, its up to you shut him the hell up. A well timed,
"Hey, asshole, shut the F up and sit your ass down before I put my foot in it"
will throw him off, and that will be the end of him interrupting meetings with his antics. (Unless, of course, he's even more of an ass than you first thought. In which case he starts a fight with you and there's nothing you can do but take the beating and accept that your gamble failed.)
OTHER PEOPLE THAT NEED TO GO:
My boyfriend is like Jesus but twice as good chick.
You don't know what you are missing guy.
