Am I a bad Person......

eplischke · Post by **eplischke** » April 18th, 2006, 3:08 pm

I have a co-worker who is really nice however, dumber than a box of ass. This person knows so little that all they do is make everyone elses job that much harder. The only way that myself and my other co-worker get through the day is by laughing at all the ridiculous things that this person does. Part of me feels really bad about the fact that we joke but part of me is amazed that this person, whose age is between 40-50, has made it this far in life being this dumb. Now, I know that I am no pillar of intelligence (see i don't even know that i spelled pillar correctly and i didn't capitalize my i's!) so if this person is frustrating me, something must be terribly wrong with them. I guess most of my frustrations come from the fact that they never ask questions and just f' stuff up all the time. Anyway, I was just wondering, how do others deal with the stupidity in every day life?

I had a coworker like this. And his lack of intelligence directly impacted me and slowed down my work day.

I would mock him, basically openly.

I commonly referred to him as "Tardy". As in Tardy the Turtle, from Greg the Bunny, because he would frequently walk by my desk and make random stupid comments that would break my concentration. One day he was late for work and wrote an email to let everyone know and he wrote "Sorry for my tardyness." I thought for sure that he knew how I'd been coping with his interruptions and suddenly got super paranoid.

But yes, it made me feel like a dick and eventually I stopped. And the guy really was nice and he meant well. He just...wasn't the sharpest of cats.

Exactly!!!! This person is nice just reeeaaallllll dumb!!! My Co-worker dubbed this person as a duurr. When i was a kid and somebody said something obvious we would say 1 of three things...no duh, no doy, or no der. So my co-worker is a duurr. And that is duurr with two u's and two r's in case anyone was wondering.

We had girl here at work that was like that too. Only she was also really freakin' hot. It's kind of sad how less and less hot she became the more I realized how dumb she could be. She was super sweet though so we kept her around...until this past Friday, when we fired her. I don't think you're a bad person for poking a little fun here and there, but you will feel like a big ass if they catch you doing it. Of course, I'm assuming that this person would be smart enough to know when someone was making fun of them. If not, enjoy ridiculing the duurrtard right into the ground!

you're not a bad person. there are literally billions of people on this planet. heaven forbid you utterly despise one of them, or in this case, find one too incompetent for to do his own job. at least, he's your co-worker though. one of the most frustrating things in any work environment is when your boss is the total incompetent boob, and you're left there wondering how in the world do they get more money than you. that's grade A number 1 suckage there.

some girly girl out there may tell you that it's impolite to make fun of him behind his back, but by god i shall tell you this, don't stop. he may be dumb, but dear god he better be tough or this mortal coil shall swallow his existence with the difficulty of a shrug. he's already prime pickings from the sound of it.

now an evil (not bad) person would devise a way to convince a fellow co-worker into complaing to management to get the imbecile fired and out of your hair, thus making your work environment more efficient; however, that is an evil person.

sigh... this is where my roommate andy reminds me that we have completely different moral constructs. he might say something nice, like be cordial and civil to him. maybe if you helped him out more actively you could help him help himself and become more a more useful and valued employee at your place of work. maybe if you succeed in doing this managment would see what a great job you did and promote you as well. maybe you should talk to your other co-workers and get them to do the same, so everyone's working together and not stabbing each other in the back. maybe.

i would probably fall somewhere inbetween. i say invite him out for a beer after work and pick apart his brain through conversation. see what makes him tick. perhaps if you understood where he was coming from he wouldn't be such a tard at work. maybe you could slip into the, "hey i noticed you're doing such and such, have you tried doing it this way?" now, if he doesn't drink beer or liquor and still turns you down, get his ass fired. period.

as far as i'm concerned, you're a cool dood in my book. i think there hasn't been a single time in the last 5 times i've seen you, where you haven't offered me a beer. now, that's a cool mutherfucker right there boys and girls.

We had a sound for Tardy, too. He was sorta mopey, so an unethusaistic "njÃ¶rp, njÃ¶rp" seemed to embody his personality. "NjÃ¶rp, njÃ¶rp", we would mope while walking through the halls.

I can be such a prick.

We had a term for dumb girl here in the office too. Apparently it was a cajun term "coo-yone" (I have no idea how to spell it) It means... "She's all eaten up with the dumbass" Or at least, that's what my boss says.

This should prolly be bumped, but Erin does a character dubbed "The Retarded Gay Devil" Shame on you Erin for mocking a person that you have built 1/3 of one of my most beloved personas on!

-Dav

P.S. Ask him to do that character for you some day..."Do you want a lick of my ice cream?" LMAO

Well please keep in mind that anytime I play the gay retarded Devil I play him to the highest level of my intelligence......(insert joke here)

Bye the way.....thanks Jay for the nice words!
