Chair Dickhead of Thursday

Codernaut says: i hate people
jendean2003 says: what happened
Codernaut says: nothing
jendean2003 says: well something must have happened
Codernaut says: i just hate people
Codernaut says: they think they're funny
Codernaut says: but they're not
Codernaut says: they think they're being polite
Codernaut says: but they're not
Codernaut says: most people are ignorant, rude and stupid
jendean2003 says: are you sure nothing happened
Codernaut says: the cube i'm in at this client is one of like 4 in a square
Codernaut says: that all face each other, kind of thing
Codernaut says: so in the middle there is an open space with some chairs
Codernaut says: and there are 3 other people in this cube area
Codernaut says: and they're all moving out to make room for more ibm portal people
Codernaut says: on this project
Codernaut says: so the guys who are moving are all ibmers too
Codernaut says: and they've been here for like 5 years
Codernaut says: one guy for 11 years
Codernaut says: and so they know everyone at --client redacted-- and what not
Codernaut says: and other people who are on their project are always hanging out here
Codernaut says: shooting the shit
Codernaut says: and it is annoying
Codernaut says: and there is a tragic lack of chairs
Codernaut says: so frequently someone is using my chair when i come back from someplace
Codernaut says: so i go get coffee about 20 min ago
Codernaut says: and i come back with a coffee, fruit cup and bottle of water - hands full
Codernaut says: and they're all hanging out and laughing and making stupid comments about golf and the one guy's putter being bent or something
Codernaut says: and this one guy is in my chair
Codernaut says: and he's laughing and cackling and hacking.
Codernaut says: like he was drunk
Codernaut says: older smoking type
Codernaut says: ha ha ha ha, his putter was crooked, ha ha ha!
Codernaut says: and he's in my chair
Codernaut says: and so i maneuver around all the people who can't be bothered to get out of my way
Codernaut says: which is fine. they're mostly proto-human anyway and don't know any better
Codernaut says: and the guy knows he's in my chair, cause he's in my cube
Codernaut says: and he doesn't get up
Codernaut says: he's just looking at me with this stupid look on his face. again, like he was drunk
Codernaut says: so i say, could I have my chair please?
Codernaut says: and he says 'no!'
Codernaut says: and then he laughs and laughs and cackles and everyone thinks that is the funniest thing they've heard all day
Codernaut says: fucking idiots
jendean2003 says: i hope you told him to fuck off
Codernaut says: i mean, it wasn't even funny. if he had said something funny, i would have laughed
Codernaut says: i went into 'disapproving dismissal' mode
Codernaut says: said nothing. didn't even ackowledge that he said anything
Codernaut says: no smile, no eye contact, nothing
Codernaut says: like he didn't exist
Codernaut says: total dismissal of him as a human being
Codernaut says: and i put my stuff in my cube
Codernaut says: on the desk
Codernaut says: now, everyone else got the message.
Codernaut says: the talking stopped and they began shifting around in obvious embarrassed discomfort
Codernaut says: and then i paused to allow the full freeze to descend on the chair dickhead
Codernaut says: and he got up and left
Codernaut says: and as he was leaving he said 'jeez'
Codernaut says: like he was upset that i didn't think he was funny
Codernaut says: so i'm satisfied a little bit that the chris 'cold brush-off of death' got to him
Codernaut says: i love having the ability of making everyone suddenly uncomfortable
jendean2003 says: you do have that amazing ability
Codernaut says: i mean, it was a mood killing chill that i brought on
Codernaut says: and everyone left
jendean2003 says: that's my man
Codernaut says: god, just reliving it makes me feel better
