Surrounded by a**holes...

Some of the co-workers I have met through my life has really tested my tolerance level.
The dumbest people you will ever meet on this planet work security jobs, trust me on this.
I have been a dishwasher and a cleaning-man (whatever you call it) and nothing fucking compares to the stupidity of security personnel. Holy shit.
Obviously im not referring to highly trained people. Im referring to those that takes a 3-weeks course and call themselves a certified security whatever.
If you are ever at an airport, look at the guy checking the x-ray machine and wonder "Does that guy have any fucking clue what he is watching on that screen?", the answer is most likely NO, he does not.
But the more advanced jobs you get, the better your co-workers will be.
But we all have to go through those shitty jobs sometime in our life while we educate ourselves, it is hell, I agree with that.
As for your friends, that is another problem. You really should get friends that you can rely on, it is very important for when you are feeling that "Is everyone a fucking retard" feeling.
It's true what many posters have said already, about how many assholes you meet on a day.

So you're saying all those times I swallowed condoms of cocaine was all in vain?

The nicer you are the more you're going to notice how unsavory others act. All a matter of contrast.

I do take note the being a douchebag has become somewhat acceptable in America in the past decade or so. Saying shit that would have you layed out in the 90's is commonplace now in everyday conversations. Somewhere along the line we lost our sense of decency and self respect.

Meow still means meow, Jing. No need to try and delve into it more. Your thirteen cats are just hungry and your sexual advances unwelcome

So that's what RR stands for?

Makes sense.

That it does but not in the way you hoped to make yourself feel adequate. Do your homework.

Was my cat count short?

Well if everyone else thinks you're an asshole, chances are you probably are one. How you can claim that everyone around you are scumbags yet all your friends and family think you are an angry anti-social jerk? It doesn't add up.

Safe assumption.
 
I'm with you ts. I am very selective about the people I allow to get close to me these days. Decency is a rare thing to find.
 
Reminds me of Mac Danzig thinking he was a fun loving, happy go lucky kinda guy, yet everyone despised him.

I'm not sure about the TS, but after living abroad for a few years and then coming back home I can say that I wonder if I'm surrounded by assholes when I walk around or if I'm just not used to people here anymore. I think it's mostly the false sense of "I'm special and you're not" that gets me, such as the person that will damn near bowl you over trying to be the first one to get down the frozen food isle like there's some sort of prize waiting at the end.

Don't get me wrong, people everywhere display this kind of behavior but here it seems worse than in the my home for the past three years (and people there fight for spaces on public transport and whatnot but still...not the same).

Did you stay in a country that is more community based? Because in the US it is definitely more individual comes first. Whereas many other countries it is more based on family, community and society before the individual. But I think those countries can afford to do so since they are more homogenous. Whereas the US is a jumbled bag of ethnicities, religions and culture.

Honestly I felt sorry for him. TUF just likes to fill that house with dumbass, immature frat boys. I'm willing to bet he isn't as angry as the show made him out to be but if I was in that house I'd be pissed off and cranky all the time also.

Yeah, this is reasonable and I'm wondering how I could have failed to see it this way. You make a great point, but I will say I wish all of us here could try a little harder to be courteous (and yes, that includes me).

I forgot what the term was, but there is one to describe the culture of a nation - whether it is based on the individual or communities. There was a chart listing the differences between the two societies. Like how in individual based societies, time and commitments are very important. Whereas in community based societies, people viewed appointments, time and commitments in a more relaxed view. The chart went over a lot of things. I want to find it again now.

Mostly because I don't walk around with a big smile on my face all the time, yet if you were to talk to me I'm probably one of the most reasonable, helpful, and kind people you can meet.

I'm fucking sick of this stupid shit. I'm done being nice and keeping my mouth shut about things that negatively effect me. It obviously has no reflection on my reputation as a human being.

Yeah, I feel exactly like this. I work with people who thrive on stabbing each other in the back, walking on people to get ahead but my boss tells me I need to work on my "people skills."

I do my job well and try to ignore other people but the truth is, the only real way to deal with people like that is to act like them. I experimented with being a rat tattle tale here at work and I think it worked, sad as that is to say. I guess if people are going to crap on me, I may as well return the favor.

Do you ever feel like you're one of the few decent people you know? I swear to god I feel like I am surrounded by scumbags.

My partner at work, the only other guy that does that same job I do, is a lazy asshole who throws me under the bus at a moment's notice but likes to chat it up and act like it's me and him against the world.

My supposed best friend of 20 years is a selfish, inconsiderate douchebag most of the time.
