Did you hear what that guy just said?
He knew what he was doing when he said it.
He does it every time. He comes in here, says what he says, does what he does, every damned time.
Regardless.
He does it without even the slightest regard.
Here's the thing: Regard matters. We all know that. But here he is yet again, doing it with zero regard.
He's willfully regardless.
The thing is, if he only lacked regard, that would be one thing; but he doesn't even know what regard is.
And that's where I draw the line.
That's the crux of the problem: the lack of regard. When it comes to regard, people should regard it. That's self-evident.
Like I was saying: that's the line. We all know when a guy's crossed it. A guy should know if he's crossed it. If he doesn't know, he's an idiot.
And the thing is, I'd excuse a guy if he were just an idiot, but this particular guy's no idiot. He's put a lot of thought into this. He's an asshole.
And it's not like he just started doing this. Look at what else he's done. Look at what else he's said. He's been at this for a long time. He's perfected it. He's a professional jackass. With him, there's always an angle.
If that guy did me a favor, he'd expect a thank you. In fact, he'd do me the favor with the specific purpose of extracting a 'thank you' from me. In fact, ge'd probably expect me to do him two favors in return. And the worst part of the whole thing is that I'd never hear the end of it.
Does he even know what regard means?
I'd rather the guy not have helped me at all. I'd rather the guy never existed. There, I said it: Fuck that guy and the horse he rode in on.
But should be that way. I have regard. I regard when regard is called for.
It's not entirely his fault that he's an asshole with no regard.
I blame his parents. Regard must be taught.
This guy was not taught.
