    Better way to think about it. Cost you $20 to get rid of him.

      and shame that bitch into coughing up the cash
      I'm not gonna do anything illegal of course. The weird thing is that this bloke is a real Hillary lovin' beta idiot who got too big for his britches, but now is even more annoying because he's actually not just unrepentant, he told my family member that bit about about how he's stiff because "Trump XYZ"

      Apparently he claimed to others in the office that he, being a poor sap, had backers when they wondered how he could handle the downside of losing $1500, which is what confuses me. People who can barely come up with $100 are typically scared shtless of a 1.5 dime risk --- they'd never do it. If the guy had lost like an addict player to a book over and over, of course it would be different, it'd just be a write off. But he's a shot taker, the worst kind. Given the surroundings, I'm astonished the guy didn't just say, I don't have it, let's settle for half. He's come with 1 of 15 and now is basically talking shit. I'm gonna have some fun with him, can't let this go entirely, I'm owed a bit of entertainment at least make him look behind himself occasionally.

        can't disagree with that, there is wisdom there, what actually bothers me is that they do office bets all the time in there, they took the time to make up a contract and everyone watched, it was like a 3 month ordeal. What I'm complaining about isn't really the stiff in this equation, it's the others in the office that literally just walked away from the guy who not only didn't pay anywhere near HALF of the bet, they didn't even approach him to shame him or apply pressure, save for 1 guy who let him have it. I just think it's weird to have an office environment in which everyone knowingly bets, they make a big thing about this particular 1, it comes time to pay and when the guy stiffs everybody acts like nothing happened and it's fine.

        In a weird way I'm happy the guy is such a scumbag that Trump winning was a big enough blast to his ego, and he's pathetic, but what bothers me most is that I would have paid him the $500 that I backed my family member with.

              So that's fine -- now that you know what you're dealing with, you can easily avoid it.

              There was a restaurant I worked at here in town (and it's always the Union houses for whatever reason) where everyone would come talk to me like I was the most interesting person they'd ever met. They all buddied up to me, told jokes, all that stuff. I got accepted into the group really quick, which is not something I ever give a shit about, I'm there to work, but it's nice since I spent so much of my day around them.

              Then one day, one day out of probably a hundred at this point, somebody got passed over for a big table with a known high roller that tips huge, and it went to me. Not only that, he spent huge that day and I made a grand on that table alone. The guy who got passed over did so because he wanted to leave early and got cut a half hour before the guest came in. His fault 100%.

              Nothing was ever the same since. They all turned on me at once. Time healed wounds, and they semi-forgot about it and tried to get friendly again, but my answers became real short, and I would always leave the conversation early. It drove them nuts that I didn't want to be a part of their little misery circle, and even later when they tried to friend me on FB, and I only accepted the most miserable cun+ out of all of them just to watch him whine every week.

              Sucked, because you want people you can BS with and air your frustrations out with at work, but removing myself from it altogether was pretty awesome because it pissed them off more, and it exposed them. It's hard since you like to bet, and are probably better at it than them too to boot so it's also an ego thing, but they're gonna miss you when you're not part of their shit anymore, and it's the only way they're ever gonna learn. Just is.

                If you really want to get the guy back, force him to read this thread. He will be looking for a rope, beam and stool immediately.

                  You could just not come here and read it, no one is forcing you to read, or to post for that matter.

                  Ralphie is always a good read, so I'm glad I posted.

                  Hope you learned something, claiming you wasted your time but for some reason, you keep coming back. Interesting.

                    Ralphie fukkin Halves

                    when I see that fukker, I do not think of Eddie Murphy and his skit where an ex wife gets HALF

                    Nope, I think of the young lady that once asked me for all 4 and 3/8 inches, and I said BITCH,
                    I don`t fold my shit in half for NO ONE

                    ALSO,

                    Stackman, I don`t think that Maggiesfukkingdog meant anything bad by his post, just that we are some tough fukkers here that have seen some shit, and that WE, collectively would .......
                    how does one write it nicely???

                    BURY him

                    that is what the man on the album cover above is doing, washing blood off of his hands


                    St Josephs plus the couple of points today at Duquesne, a little guess

                      It's just me helping you with tough love. It hurts me more than it hurts you. Now STFU.
