In my area of personal relations, it is quite clean because I generally stay away or cut off people that I don't like. As such, my social circle is very small.
Problems arise when I'm at work (where you don't get to choose who you hangout or work with), or I have to attend some social event and I have to be in close proximity to them.
A month ago, I was overseas, and I was activated to do duty in camp. The person I stood by to cover for was somebody that I disliked in terms of his work attitude, because he was very irresponsible, immature and irritating to deal with. The problem is, I was not informed about this activation in advance; I didn't get a call or text UNTIL the very last day before, and I got it from the boy himself.
Here's what REALLY ticked me off: in his own words, he said "Oh I told the boys in charge about it and I assumed that they would have informed you"
FUCK YOU VERY MUCH. First of all, it's your duty, it's your fucking responsibility to tell me in advance. The boys in charge of the duty roster are only in charge of the duty roster. It's already stated IN BLACK AND WHITE that IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO INFORM THE COVERING PERSONNEL IN ADVANCE.
This whole conversation was held in the our branch's group chat. He insisted that this be put to PM, but I refused, because I want people to see how fucking irresponsible, immature and irritatingly dickish he is. With facts pertinent to the situation, where:
a. I was overseas, the bus scheduled to take me home cancelled on me, I have tickets to prove it
b. I was not informed adequately in advance until the very last day before the duty actually happened
c. The fact that in his own words, he failed to, and assumed that others would inform me about it
d. And that in the group chat, he kept insisting that in the routine order had my name inserted, even if that was sent out AFTER I LEFT FOR VACATION
e. The fact that I can't access work email outside of work due to security reasons
f. In the duty roster, I had already informed the planners that I will be overseas from the dates I had given them
I managed to turn everyone in the group against him. He is now pretty much disliked by everyone in the branch, as well as on the division level, because of his immaturity, irresponsibility and rudeness.
And the thing is, it's not like I actively turned everyone against him. It's just that I happen to be one of the most helpful, nicest and easiest to work with in the whole division. Sure, I'd have dropped a lot of disdainful complaints about him, but I was not expecting them to dislike him like I did. But he dug himself into this hole with how shitty he is, and I'm only glad that people see what I deal with everyday.
