|
For some reason I was just thinking, I like to do that occasionally, remembering this guy back in my hometown, a compulsive talker, liar, generally unpleasant to be around though not entirely dumb, and sometimes OK in some ways.
Perhaps not the worst excuse for a human I have ever met, but I remember long ago my brother and I once played a silly little game, where we'd name a person that we both knew and say one word, the first descriptive word that came to mind regarding the person named. For the guy in question my first thought was "inconsiderate." Then I said, "Well, that's the nicest thing I can say about him." It makes me wonder how unfair it is, some people have a lot of good qualities, and others almost none.
Just a thought. |

Nein, there's always one thing that can be said, even serial killers, mass murders and what not. :O |

I knew a guy who got girls drunk and forced them into giving up their virginity in high school.
He had a lot of fights and hit women when he felt it was necessary.
He also stole checks and other items from his friends, sold a lot of coke, and bought surfboards with credit cards he made in his dead father's name.
He was pretty much a complete piece. |

I know a kid, he's 5'4", missing his front teeth and speaks like Elmer Fudd on steroids. He talks about the glory of the white race online and usually backs down from everything in person. Then one time he took a knife to a girl's birthday party and was chased away. When he moved to my hometown, he went to a reggae show because he knew that's where the skinheads would be hanging out, but he had no idea what reggae was. I told him "I'm racist too--I don't date white chicks" and he freaked out. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this guy, although he recently told me he's given up on the whole skinhead thing. |

I used to work with a guy everyone called "ninga".
He got this nickname because he and his buddy decided to tattoo their knuckles one day and that's what was put on his... he and his buddy didn't know how to spell "ninja" (but you have to ask- even if it was spelled right, would you really want to walk around with "ninja" tattooed on your knuckles? In some ways ninga is better).
Wierd scrawny guy, always making up stories about how many people he knew in jail. He had a voice like a 90 year old who had smoked 3 packs a day since he was 8 and a half dozen frogs down his throat- sort of the ultimate stoner wheeze.
He was not without any redeeming qualities though- he usually had good weed.
Swear to god he could (and should) be a regular character on the Trailer Park Boys... |

i really dislike my stepmother, but... i guess she must have some redeeming quality, or else my father wouldn't be with her, right? |

Really fat people who aren't jovial or funny. Angry, fat, bitter people are really not a good combo. If you're rolly-polly, you owe it to the rest of us to at least be good-humored. |
