I have a difficult choise to make in the next two days.

As you may or may not know i leave my ship on friday and i have beenstrugglig to decide whether i should tell one of my collegues what i think of him.

Basicly he is Hellboi without the 200 extra pounds, in fact thats harsh on hellboi this man is the worse human being i have ever had the misfortune of meeting in the flesh.

He's a chronic liar, lazy, rude, a bully, who seeks to undermine any person in authority.

He thinks it's ok to tell us in graphic detail about his lovelife which generally seems to involve swallowing copious amounts of come and having his backdoors smashed in by a different bloke every night. (see Chronic liar.) this dispite repeated requests that he stfu.

He's borderline incompetant at his job and yet rages at the slightest mistake from his subordinates, treats his peers with contempt while often requiring thier guidance on the simplist task.

He often makes trouble for the sake of it and is just about as bitter a person as you could meet, and is utterly dispised by one and all and as is often the case believes he is not only great at his job but popular with everyone...

As i am in a position where there would be no comeback on me i am sorely tempted to tell him exactly what i think of him.

But should I? i am not usually the type to force confrontations and prefer to be the one working behind the scenes to make sure his attitude doesn't destroy the department. and while i would certainly enjoy the experiance, the people left to pick up the pieces when i verbally destroy his ego (And trust me when i finished he would need professional help to put it back together) are friends of mine and i am not sure if the tradeoff is worth it.

You're done for good? Fuck it. Tell him exactly what you think. If possible, do it in front of one of his superiors just so they can see exactly what his subordinates think of their CO.

If his love life involves swallowing copious amounts of *** I doubt he's -- oh, wait, check that. He's British. Never mind.

No, leave with your head held high and know that you always conducted yourself in a way becoming to a military member.

But you can tell him that you learned a valuable life lesson from him like this:

"I have to tell you that I never thought I was going to have to deal with some harsh realities of life, but I realized that you put forth some issues that I know now sooner or later would have to be addressed. You have shown that there are things in life that are ugly and horrible to deal with, but I know now that I have the fortitude to power through and ignore such tragedies."

Leave him wondering WTF you're talking about. If he tells other people, they'll know what's up.

My experience with @#%^s like that is that no matter what you say to him, unless everyone else pipes in as well, he'll never believe you and think you're just an @#%^. Not that you care what he thinks of you, but I don't see it having any effect on him, atleast not for more than 20 minutes.

You're seriously asking for advice on whether or not to tell someone off in the Asylum and you expect a possibility of us saying No no no be a better man and shush???











AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Not only should you tell him off, but you should have it transcripted and post it here after, with a detailed description of the aftereffects. Have fun!

bah, just leave. he has to live with himself, you dont. its not worth the effort or stress.

on the other hand, a good fight is fun once in a while. ***** talking, just jump on his **** and start wailing on him and dont even bother saying why. no point to it. just get it out of your system, and nurse your wounds in a local pub soaking up some brew.

Depends on the person really. If you know he's not going to actually change for the better after what you say, you're only causing your friends grief. Kinda like how I never tell my mom to STFU and stop acting like a 3 year old ***** because I know she'll just make it hard for my grandma.

Don't make trouble for others. If he says something to you directly, then feel free to retort in the most straightforward way possible. For now, stop wasting time thinking about it.

To what end?

If you think you can give him some constructive critism, that will actually be heeded...go for it.

If it's just to get things off your back, then first, give a quick thought to future consequences of those who have to remain on the ship.

...then **** his wife (if she's hawt)

You can try out your flame here though...we can critique it for you. Smiley: smile

I don't think it would make him change. It might help to release some of your tension but other than that it's just more hot hair going in one ear and out the other on this guy. I think you'd just be better off flipping him the bird and leaving. That and as you've pointed out it could make for a very uncomfortable working environment for your friends. Are you retiring or just changing ships? If it's retiring, go for it. If you might run into this guy again down the road, I'd just let it go so as to not cause even more problems in the future.

Say that you'll give him one last mouthful for old times sake, then when he gets down there, knee him in the face. Then stomp on his ******* balls.

I'm kinda of the "what's the point" position on this one.

If his behavior bothered you so much, you should have done something when you actually had to work with him. You didn't. What's the point of doing so now? You're leaving. You'll likely never see this guy again in your life. You'll never know if you telling him what a prick he is actually has any effect.

So what's the point. I wont quite go with the cowardice angle like Smash, but let's face it, you put up with it for however long you worked with him. Saying something now is just kinda childish and pointless. I suppose if it'll really make you feel better then by all means, go ahead. But I gotta wonder about someone who feels the need to do that.

The only reason I can think of to do this is to somehow feel better about yourself for "telling him off". Um... It's not exactly like your self esteeme is going to fly through the roof because you bravely waited until your last day of work to tell off the big bully in completely safety...
