Shit weasel

Some say they're elusive and somewhat rare but I disagree because one can find a shit weasel pretty much anywhere these days. They're not born that way, a shit weasel doesn't have to be a shit weasel, it's a choice they make for one reason or another and it seems more and more are making the choice to embrace the shit weasel life. #shitweasellife

Last week I ran into a shit weasel in the course of performing my job function, quite possibly the king of shit weasels in fact.

I can't go into the details as it's confidential but essentially my company provides services to the shit weasels' company and I was there to determine how best to facilitate the changes at the shit weasels company - my company would need to be flexible to accommodate it...which we were prepared to do. It was actually a simple matter, or should have been, but it turned into a massive fucking fucken fucked up fucken cluster fuck... because of the shit weasel I mention above.

I'm not quite sure when people became so entitled, self-absorbed, rude, needlessly aggressive, intolerant and generally fucked and I don't know why. Sure, we all have our moments but it seems those moments are all joined together these days (with some people) and those behaviours have become the standard operating procedure. I wonder how those people get through life to be honest; re they like that with their partners, children, friends (if they have any), work colleagues and in general social situations life requires? It boggles the mind to think a person behaves in such a way all the time.

Unfortunately we have little choice but to deal with such individuals, especially in a work situation, and I did my best not to fucken kill him to do so in the case above but it left me feeling quite annoyed and feeling like I don't get paid enough to have to deal with such people. (I actually do though.)

I don't know what (possible) extenuating circumstances that fellow shit weasel above has that may cause such behaviour or if he is that way all the time but I could see he made others (his colleagues) who were involved in the process uncomfortable, that they were embarrassed by him and that he made the entire process completely awkward and difficult...His behaviour also caused me to charge a lot more for my company's services than I usually would have because dealing with this shit weasel isn't going to be easy moving forward.

He didn't get his way, he didn't win any respect, he didn't even negotiate better pricing...an all-round loss for the shit weasel and his company and all because he acted like a shit weasel when he didn't have any cause to and there was a better way to proceed.

Have you ever come across such a person, someone who behaves badly or in an unbecoming manner, which has effected you, the process or outcome, or has simply caused you to walk away? This happens in relationships just as often as in general society. I think most people have had an experience or two. I don't know why, but society seems to be a shit weasel factory these days when it doesn't have to be that way at all, it's sad really. If you have a shit weasel story you would like to share, or even if you are a shit weasel yourself and have a comment, please do so below if you are so inclined.
