I've got a 40-something cousin that is just the same. A grown kid. I just try to minimize their damage on my life and REFUSE to promise them what they want. They bitch and bitch that we don't hang out...but it's pure hell when we do. Life's too short for that bullshit.

u said this guys got a 'mentor'? how come he doesnt have that guy help him out all the time?

the "mentor" is paddling the other side of the idiot boat. guys getting 2lbs outta 4000w. sounds meager for a mentor.

fdd, this geezer needs a swift headbutt. I swear, it really works. Next time he pisses you off, just land your nut hard on the bridge of his nose. If you've done it properly you should hear a satisfying squelch, followed by a gush of blood. Also followed by a scream, and the geezer dropping to his knees. You may also knock him out... but then you'll have to wait around for him to wake up so he gets the message properly.

I guarantee this'll work. At least if not the first time... even the dumbest fuck will get it by the second.

And the mentor... wait till harvest and go and take his shit.

we were at a job site. we are trying to stand up a 20' tall aluminum catwalk frame. i have it straddling on top of are rickety scissor lift. he's on the ground. i'm 15' in the air. the things already teetering and i have to dive forward. well i have vertigo issues so i'm crouched down and scared. he starts mocking me. call me names and what not. i look down and in my most serious tone tell him i'm scared to death of heights, quit screwing around and help. he keeps mocking ( jeez just typing this out makes me realize how childish he is). so i climb down the back of the scissor lift leaving it in the air. i tell him you do it. he giggles, "i was just kidding". i say NO GET THE F%^K UP THERE AND DO IT YOU LITTLE *&^&^&*()(*&^$#. he walks away almost crying and sits in the truck the rest of the morning. a plumber overhears all this and calls my boss. I get called into the office and WARNED to quit "blowing up" on my co-workers. i try to explain what happened. he says "Oh, that's just how the guy is. Deal with it. love my job. hate my boss.

I could not be you... you have such restraint. You should tell your boss, tough, it's the way you are too. You shouldn't have to work around snivelling bitches (I don't mean that in a derogatory way to women).

i actually did. straight up told him he could not teach me anything because i was smarter than him (my boss). he looked at me puzzled for a minute and says, "If you feel you have nothing left to learn than i'm sorry for you". WHAT? i just told you you were an idiot, idiot. i can sneak out and blaze whenever i want though. and drives to the job site are a smoke out. give and take i guess.

Yeah, but also... 'all's fair in love and war.' Meaning, just do a bit more taking. Only when it doesn't concern your own close people of course... then it's about more giving. There will always be people prepared to take, and there will always be people quite happy to stand by and let them.
