I don’t like him.
He’s a worthless repulsive bag of lard. An overgrown child. A lazy good for nowt toss pott.
I don’t like it when my favourite people talk of resigning because of him.
No I don’t like it at all.
I wish I was there to have it out, but no I took my bank holiday lieu day. These day’s I’d rather be at work than not at work.
And I’d rather I didn’t insert apostrophes in rand’om places like my old boss used to.
Well, you befriended him; now use your newfound association as liscense to gently point out some of the things he might correct about himself. Either he listens to you and starts to shape up, or he gets pissed at you and poof, you’re back on the other side of the fence with everybody else.
This is a good time to learn the “If everyone else hates someone, there’s usually a pretty compelling reason for it” rule.
I recommend following begbert2’s advice.
I might just try that. “You did x and it upset some people. why did you do x?”
But I’ve tried it before. He’s as stubbourn as a mule. He thinks he’s god. And he is as flexible as cast-iron.
No I might be better situated on the populous side of the fence.
Yes, you will be. Trust me, I know from experience.
I agree with this. I can get along with most people, but the few people I go out of my way to avoid are pretty much avoided by everyone else. When a bunch of different people with a bunch of different backgrounds and experiences can agree that one person is being an ass, then you can rest assured it’s not just “you.”
You gave him the benefit of doubt. You are a good man.
He removed the doubt. He is a tosser.
Aye. There’s something to be said for intuition.
A friend of my mom’s used to be married to a guy who was a rude, boorish jerk. Nobody liked him, including her family, but he could be a charmer when he wanted to and she fell for it and married him anyway.
A couple years later she found out he was cheating on her and divorced him. Good thing too - the woman he was cheating with? He married her - and then one day in the paper there was an article saying that he had been arrested for murdering her. Walked up to her while she slept and crushed her head in with a hammer. :eek: 
Even cast iron can be bent with enough heat.
I dunno. Some people are just beyond hope. I mean, what are you going to say? “Everything about you is wrong. Go eat a bullet.”
Kind of hard on the teeth isn’t it? Swollowing the lead isn’t too healthy either.
