Cruel and Unusual Punishment

That is how I would describe my Saturday night. I was essentially tricked and then forced to spend nearly 3 hours with a person that is tied for second place on my list of people I actually hate. And there are only 3 people on that list so you have to be pretty special (aka obnoxious) to make that list.

The entire situation was just so awkward. Not only did I have to spend 3 hours with a person that annoys the ever living day light out of me, I had to stand there and witness the most awkward love triangle (of days past? I hope.).

So, let's call this person I am talking about..... Linus. It is as if the world took every characteristic that I dislike in people and threw them all into one person and brought that person into my life over and over again to torture me. Hearing his name makes my skin crawl. Seeing him makes me want to slit my wrists up the road. The thought of having to spend any amount of time interacting with him makes me want to shove screwdrivers in each ear, pierce them through my ear drums, my skull, and brain matter until they meet in the middle. It makes me want to gouge my eyes out and set my eyeballs on fire. It makes me want to slit my throat and pour salt in the wound. THAT is how much Linus bothers me. You can only imagine that vile thoughts that rolled through my head for a good 2 hours Saturday night. So without further ado, let me list some of the reasons I dislike this person so very much....

• He is a liar. Now the most proof I have of this comes to me second hand. But he lies about small and inconsequential things pretty often which is just stupid, pointless, and makes him untrustworthy in my book.
• He is extremely self important.
• He is a butt kisser. Offering to buy me drinks is fine as a peace offering, until it becomes repetitive after I politely decline.
• Even more annoying- he is a snide butt kisser. After the 5th time of asking and me politely declining, me and everyone around can hear the sweetly rude inflection in your voice. Just accept the fact that I don't want a drink and move on.
• He sucks at dressing. It can't be that hard to find pants that are long enough. I know it goes along with the whole "hipster" deal he has going on, but it looks ridiculous and is so cliche.
• He likes to pick fights and start debates about stupid things. He likes to make it as if he is so right and peaceful and wants it all to be peace, love, and happiness but still picks an argument. And I fall right into because I am a woman, and I like to be right.
• He is a hypocrite. Do not preach that you don't like your friends doing drugs and hope they don't enjoy it. I know for fact that he does drugs and has gotten a DUI- and yes, future employers will find that out if they do background checks. Don't be so ignorant. My thought is, if you do drugs, that's cool, do your thing, just don't be hypocritical about it.

Those are just the biggest character flaws I have found to dislike in him. And contrary to his belief that my hatred is based off of what happened between him and my best friend, it is not. My hatred is simply based off the fact that I don't like his character. He asked me about it directly and I said it has nothing to do with that. I do respect him for being honest with her from the beginning, she told me he was honest but now likes to pretend he wasn't up front. But she doesn't seem to mind the typical asshole tendencies so that is on her. Not my business. So he should have taken my word this weekend when I told him the my dislike of him was unrelated to that. I may not know him very well, but I do not care to know him because what I do know is enough for me to know that he is not the kind of person I would want to surround myself with. If by any cruel trick of nature I end up having to spend time with him again, I will not hesitate to remove myself from the situation much quicker than I did this weekend because his presence just instantly spoils my mood. This is the last I want to ever hear of him or think of him. Phew, I'm glad I got that all off my chest.
