One of the things I’ve learnt with age is that you get to destroy arrogance and stupidity far more effectively, easily and enjoyably, when you give the other party the space to reveal their ‘true colours’ before you strike.
I used to jump in the moment they started to spout off … trying to cut them off at the knees.
I was wrong.
Sure that method worked, it’s just this approach works so much better … both from a destructive and emotionally rewarding perspective.
See Andy, I am listening. Eventually.

So what you’re saying is you’ve learnt how to be an even bigger prick.
Comment by DH February 16, 2016 @ 6:25 amGreat, just what the world needs.
The good news is I’m still centuries away from earning the skills to be a republican nomination candidate.
Comment by Rob February 16, 2016 @ 7:58 amI bet your colleagues and clients are so happy to be working with you.

Comment by andy@cynic February 16, 2016 @ 6:43 amI didn’t talk to him because I would always be holding my breath so I didn’t get any planner germs.

Comment by Rob February 16, 2016 @ 7:59 amSays the man who waited 10 years to get his own back on an old boss.
Comment by Bazza February 16, 2016 @ 7:18 amWho?
Comment by George February 16, 2016 @ 7:52 amYes Baz, who … ?
Comment by Rob February 16, 2016 @ 7:59 amDidn’t you diss an old boss at some conference? Maybe I’m confusing you with someone else, you’re the only person I know who is that spiteful.
Comment by Bazza February 16, 2016 @ 8:11 amSounds fair.
Comment by DH February 16, 2016 @ 8:23 amYour memory is better than mine, because I didn’t know what you were talking about. Then I thought about it and yes, you’re right … I did get my own back on an old boss who treated me like a piece of shit. The irony is now we’re good mates … but there’s still one out there I want to destroy. And destroy is the perfect word too. Ha.
Comment by Rob February 16, 2016 @ 8:33 amI’m surprised you think you have just discovered this technique given your Dad was a lawyer and I’ve seen you practice this strategy for at least 15 years. I can only put it down to you being a natural born (argument) killer.
Comment by George February 16, 2016 @ 7:52 amI’m slow to most things … just look at my choice of footwear.
Comment by Rob February 16, 2016 @ 8:00 amRevenge is best served late?
Comment by Northern February 16, 2016 @ 4:27 pmBetter than not being served at all. In fact, getting revenge when they think they have got away with it is possibly the most satisfying of them all … which I appreciate contradicts the point of this post but when has that ever stopped me.

Comment by northern February 16, 2016 @ 5:30 pmYep. Except for a mac, I wear birkies.
Basically, we are similar because we’re both rough looking and very out of date.
Comment by Rob February 16, 2016 @ 5:49 pmOh, did I tell you I’m having dinner with the global CEO of birkenstocks. I would like to think it’s because they are interested in my perspective of Asia but I think it’s probably to ask me to stop wearing them as it’s damaging their image. And this is from a brand chosen by the sort of people America would put straight into jail without a trial.
Comment by Rob February 16, 2016 @ 5:50 pmor because you’re solely responsible for their Asian profit margins
Comment by northern February 16, 2016 @ 5:53 pmThat is another possibility. Especially after I bought 2 pairs of their ‘special editions’ only to find they looked nothing like the picture and the ‘postage’ cost the same amount as the shoes.
I use the word ‘shoes’, loosely. Obviously.
Comment by Rob February 16, 2016 @ 5:56 pmwhatever the reason is ceo twat is meeting you, hell leave having paid for your fucking dinner and agreeing to give you a lifetime free supply of his shit shoes you jammy blagging bastard.
