The other day, I was e-mailing partners in New York. Not, of course, the most pleasant place to do business. People are quick and fast to the punch. So, of course I have to suspect some backlash when I go pecking into my business affairs there. I basically cold e-mail people, so you just never know what you'll get. Part of the fun... I know.
So I'm checking through responses to my inquiries; then I get to the biggest asshole response I've ever seen. His response read: " Have you ever considered mucking yourself? "That's what he wrote back to me. A fury of rage overcame me. How could his asshole insult me like that. What a total effinnn" asshole!!!!! I was stunned. But how to retaliate?
Then I remembered who this dude was. Several years earlier, I had e-mailed him; and he was rude then too. He reply had said: " Don't spam me". Just like that. I KNOW: what a raging asshole. Im being factitious, in case you couldn't tell.
So I guess he had, in fact, given me due warning. And I simply chose to ignore that. So it looks like maybe I'm the asshole. Right?!?!?!
Fuck no. He was: the balls on this prick. ( to quote Soprano lore) But still how to reply?
Here's what I came up with: " I'd forgotten what a perfect gentleman you were. " Very snappy, ehhh.
Fuck this prick anyway. Right?!?!?
I could go on and on about this escalating prick like tone. But for now let's remember a couple things:
1) A dick head is always a dick head.
2) Boys never grow up.
3) People agitate each-other in business.
4) Let it go, boss. Your dignity is more important.
