Well, it’s like dick-in-a-box, but you can skip Step 1. ---

That second one sounds awesome. And I was referring to **Starving Artist** taking a nosedive in my personal estimation of his character. ETA: What **Kimstu** said. ---

> [@Rhythmdvl](#): > > Dear Straight Dope, > > I just got an awesome job. My friend, who recently took over a management position called me out of the blue and said he had an opening for me. I was so excited, but there’s a slight problem. > > I think the guy who’s training me is a bit clueless. On the one hand, he’s this really great guy, very smart and all … but I think he’s a bit, well, slow. The way he’s showing me how to do things just doesn’t seem right. I don’t want to lose my job in a couple weeks from incompetence (I’ve got three kids to feed, a special needs dog, a wife in a coma, my house is about to go into foreclosure, and I need a kidney transplant), so I’m inclined to go to HR and tell them about it. But I like this guy and don’t want to screw him over. It’s just that since I’m new to the situation and didn’t do anything to him, I don’t want to get fucked over myself. > > Also, he has this weird fetish for older women that’s creeping me out a bit. He keeps making oblique sexual references to “Rosie,” the ex-spokeswoman for Bounty. > > So, Dopers, what do I do? I was really happy for the opportunity, don’t want to screw over someone who did me no wrong, but I need to do something. Dear Dopers Hoping you can help me out in this difficult situation. I’ve just met the most amazing woman and plan on spending the rest of my life with her. I know, it’s like a dream come true right? But wait… I took her home to meet my current wife, and told the current wife to show her around the place, and how everything works, basically show her the ropes so that she can get comfortable as soon as possible. But get this… the current wife seems to have some kind of objection to doing this small favor for me. WTF? ☹ I dont get it? Part of her job, as my wife, is to make things easier for me, but she’s totally not helping. :smack: What would you guys do?.. ---

I would seriously teach the new guy the new job, really well. I would also make sure he never gets a hold of my contacts list. I still have everything in a Rolodex for a reason… it goes with me. ---

> [@olivesmarch4th](#): > > And I was referring to **Starving Artist** taking a nosedive in my personal estimation of his character. Well, **olives** , I must say that I wouldn’t have expected this of you. Whenever people said this kind of thing about me in the Paterno thread, I marked it up either to deliberate dishonesty or mindless hysteria. Given that I don’t regard you as being dishonest or hysterical, could you please explain to me why my arguing that IMO a child rape likely did not occur on one particular occasion = justification of child rape? And since you said you agree with **Kimstu** , could you also explain why my trying to assess the facts objectively rather than jumping to conclusions the facts don’t necessarily support is an offense equal to racism? As I explained toward the end of the Paterno thread I’ve decided to stop arguing on this board and it isn’t my intention to start a new argument here. Instead I would just like to ask you to stop and think about the stance I’ve taken on this issue, and why (i.e., due process and a fervent belief that people should only be convicted of crimes they can be proven to have committed, no matter how many similar crimes they may be guilty of), and then ask yourself whether you really regard the taking of a cold, hard look at whether an alleged crime has actually occurred is really tantamount to a justification of the crime itself. ---

Well, I’m sorry that the “Go to your room, and think about what you’ve done” therapy didn’t work. Give it a rest. Many of us are still in recovery from that thread. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ive-been-pttd-paper-towel-tubed/617950.md?page=2)
