I have had enough of this man.

I rarely use language like this however, I want to kick this kid right in the balls. This coworker of mine is always making such rude remarks towards me. I can't help but to feel targeted. I have done nothing to this man to make him act how he does towards me. I am over the passive agressiveness, the snapping at me over nothing, and the backhanded comments.

Today I was talking to another coworker about how pain makes you feel ancient. He has sciatica so we were discussing topical treatments for pain. The man in question overhears and says to me you are what 70? 71? pain is normal at that age. The way he said it and that smirk that went along with it made me want to slap him. I never usually want to slap anyone but for him I make an exception.

I have brought up his attitude before and nothing ever changes. I am also not the only one with issues regarding him either. He has been spoken to but in his mind he thinks he is God and has no faults. I know this type. Arrogant I can do no wrong I will never listen to anyone type. He will not take critique constructive or not. That is the heart of the issue.

I can say a lot more and have deduced a lot more about his type but I've said enough. I have aired my grievances and am moving on. I am not allowing him anymore space in my head.

Analyze all you want, but you're old enough to know that there are some people that only understand a punch in the mouth. I call them 'gluttons for punishment'.

@RogueLoner I admit I do want to give him a good slap but I know what will happen if I do that.

@deepblacknothingness Well, I spoke figuratively. I know you can't smack someone at work, or anywhere these days.

@RogueLoner nope even if they have it coming and they hit you first. It happened between two cooks, they had their annual evaluations and for some reason after they clocked out one of the cooks in a university cafeteria stood around the corner of the building and waited for the other one to walk around to the parking area….she way-laid her punching her and the fight was on. They were rolling around on the grass in a fist-fight in view of everyone driving by on the campus. The campus police were called and both cooks were cited and fired from their jobs. Even the one who got hit first, if she had let her punch her around more she would have kept her job.

@RogueLoner Part of it is the legal climate we are in, lawsuits could be made against the university if someone who has shown “violence” even in self-defense was to harm someone else on campus after such an incident.
