Creep

So there was this manager at my company who suspiciously disappeared about 2 years ago.

He was a total prick, completely condescending to me, and his work seemed like something that could be product of a sixth grader with a bad attitude. He was middle aged, seemed "very tidy," very opinionated about quality, always wore sweaters & wire rimmed glasses, etc.... He belittled me one time, in a meeting in front of other people, for having a Viagra pen. (I thought it was cool, OK?) "How embarrassing" he said. "The fucking nerve you have! I could kick your ass into next Tuesday," I thought.

Fortunately, I didn't have to work with him directly, and rarely had to deal with his nincompoopery.

I'd learned officially that he'd be "gone indefinitely" because he ended up missing a few days of work. I learned through the grapevine that he was in jail for beating his wife. Something I kinda expected from such a douche.

Today, I learned from a new counterpart of mine--a former inferior of his--that our director actually had her "gathering information on him." One thing she said in particular was that he would call her & another female co-worker of hers(both early 20-somethings), into his office "just to chat," and that despite their *completely honest* protests of being overworked & busy, he would just want to listen to music with them in his office.

"just listen to 2 more songs, and I'll let you get back to work." She told me that a few days later, he actually showed up to work with cuts all over his hands. I bet the bastard was cheating on his wife, and beat the crap out of her when she found out about it.

What a creep. I hope that I never have to deal with a person like that again. And if I do, I'll have the opportunity to coincidentally meet them in a dark alley.

From now on, I dub all creepy douches to be: "Ross"

spread the word.

TSA

TSA employees are fucking morons.

I suppose it's easy to understand how these nimrods are standing where they are -- after 9/11, airports scrambled to get people to provide added security.

And guess who they got? America's finest unskilled, unemployed, poorly educated bottom feeders.

What kind of payscale do you expect to give a guy that's sole purpose is to look at your ID and match it to your boarding pass? What kind of person is attracted by a $9.00/hour job?

The kind of guy that jokes that TSA means "take stuff away", and makes anecdotes about how he can't believe the government actually pays him to tell people that they can't bring liquids or gels onto a plane. "3 ounces or less!"

If you really think so, then perhaps you should be telling your boss that your job is futile and that we shouldn't be wasting tax dollars like this. Perhaps you could make yourself useful and speed up that fucking metal detector line.

And guess what happens in the case that I give these knuckle draggers any lip? (Which they deserve) I get "transferred" to a different caste of security employee -- only this one wears camoflage and inspects your nose with the barrel of a submachine gun.

Anyone want to explain to me why he needs jungle camo in an airport?

This guy has been trained to shoot people. He's probably spend the last 3 years learning to stop thinking and take orders, and think faster than the hypothetical man trying to shoot him first from a leathernecked R. Lee Ermy-type shithead with a loud voice and a propensity to punch you in the gut and call you "Private Lizard Shit." What better job for this guy than walking around civilian crowds with a cannon that can spit out 35 9mm full metal jackets in 10 seconds?

Guess what happens when you give idiots authority? It's a perfect recipe for nincompoopery.

This type of power is perfect to people on the lowest echelon of the socio-economic foodchain. Of course, these people are dripping with insecurity--sometimes it's the fact that they're a recent immigrant, or poor, or ugly, or have a small dick, or obese, or most obviously, stupid.
