Was around a guy who literally never said anything that wasn't making fun of someone, complaining about someone, or direct work stuff (we were pulling up star pickets). Just kinda toxic to be around. He seemed to enjoy himself though.

There's like two or three ways to be well socialized, but a million billion different ways to be poorly socialized.

Gotta take him to the park and let him be around other people

Make sure to chaperone closely tho so he doesn't do anything untoward

"Individuals aren't naturally paid-up members of the human race, except biologically. They need to be bounced around by the Brownian motion of society, which is a mechanism by which human beings constantly remind one another that they are...well...human beings." (Terry Pratchett, "Men at Arms").

You're describing most of the Englishmen I've worked with. Constant put downs disguised as "banter" and complains incessantly about the smallest things.

How these people perceive themselves to have a "stiff upper lip" is beyond me.

When we establish the Global Socialist Republic, can Jimmy Carr be the first to be gulag'd?

When I'm around this type of person, all I can do is wonder how they complain about me to the person they're currently complaining about

I complain about everything and everyone but i'm also generally anxious around other people and just trying to think of things to talk about so i will tell you how much i hate cleaning the flat top grill rather than be there silent forever

Cleaning the grill does suck

I can only do it reasonably easily with like 5 sacrificial towels but sometimes this stupid fucking place is out of towels for like days. Just order more you dumb fucks!

Next time they get some in, you should find a good hiding place and stash some. I usually get an empty box of something and put stuff in there then put it on the bottom of the pile of the other boxes that look like it. Nobody ever finds my stashes

My manager, except he's a gay conservative who basically hates me for falling for my boymode.
