I kind of want to see a jerks label on this. Of course, maybe his friend weren't really hurt, or was simply such a huge asshole it needed to be said even though it was rude. I don't know the context. I just know that there are better ways to explain you're tired of someone's rants.
I don't think it was rude at all. That would be like thinking half the outbursts you see on this site are just fine. I don't know the context either, but I'm assuming Mr. Tim uses posts that, for the most part, clearly define the context. Also, the dude is comparing being cool or smart (insulting anyone else in the store in a small way) with his friend being an asshole. I would have shaken his hand.
you are correct sir!
ReplyDeleteHer?
ReplyDeleteThat is to say, HIS. Whoops.
DeleteBut if Mr. Tim's customers gave reasoned, measured critiques of stuff they didn't like, there would be no OVC.
ReplyDeleteAnd the whole store burst into applause.
ReplyDeleteBatman is gay.
ReplyDeleteOnly assholes go "EVERYTHING SUCKS".
It must be No Shit Day.
Incredibly true. Well said that man/ boy/ biped.
ReplyDeleteToo bad more of those people don't have friends like this! There might be fewer huge assholes in the world.
ReplyDeleteShould this have a Mr. Fun tag? Sounds like a response to him.
ReplyDeleteBut everything sucks.
ReplyDeletePeople seem to be conveniently avoiding this simple truth.
DeleteI wish more people had friends like him.
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs a get-a-grip friend. I bet this dude would tell you if you were wearing a ridiculous outfit or trying to date someone terrible, too.

ReplyDeleteFinally a voice of reason
ReplyDeletewah,what? I sound like a huge A-hole? MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
ReplyDeleteSometimes being a good friend means being honest..sometimes brutally.
ReplyDeleteFOR THE SAKE OF ALL!!!! THIS MUST BE POSTED AROUND THE INTERNET NOW!!!
ReplyDeleteI believe that this is the companion piece to this strip:
