Every now and then, we stumble upon these people.
You know. Assholes. Jerks. People who don’t think before they act. People who are born to piss other people off.
Well there’s one of them at work, a really big one too. He’s like, the biggest Asshole I’ve ever seen. I mean, I’ve met plenty, but this guy is truly the biggest Asshole and loser combined altogether.
A few months ago, I got into trouble with this Asshole because he was embarrassing one of our work colleagues who I was helping to, in front of the students. This work colleague, let’s call her Sally, was giving a brief meeting to prepare the Independence Day party to the students who were in the committee group. Because the conference table was used, she had to use the teacher’s chairs for them to sit down. A few minutes later, the teachers came down to have a break and they didn’t have any chairs to sit down on. And this asshole, out of nowhere, decided that it was a good idea to embarrass Sally by complaining that he didn’t have any chairs to sit on, complaining and raising his voice in front of everyone, when he could’ve just asked one of the students to return the chair if he really wanted to sit down so badly.
So I told him that the whole complaining thing was unnecessary and he was being unprofessional. He then yelled at me, saying that I was a newbie and I didn’t know shit. That was uncalled for, no to mention totally irrelevant. Just because I was a new employee it didn’t mean he was any better than me. So I shouted at him and called him an Asshole. It wasn’t right, I know, but I was offended by what he said and I wouldn’t want to take any shit from him.
This Asshole also happened to be married with two kids. And at that time, he was having an affair with one of the female students, in which he didn’t try to hide at all. All the teachers were annoyed at him by doing this so openly, because it made us all feel like we were so used to dating our students and therefore, like I said, being unprofessional about our jobs.
We spotted him a couple of times together with the female student in various places at the campus, looking cozy and infatuated with each other, which made us feel sick because there was a rule that prohibit the teacher having more than a friendly relationship with the students, but it was obvious that Mr. Asshole wasn’t trying to hide it, in fact he was very proud of it. And what made it even worse was that the management couldn’t (or wouldn’t) do anything about it.
Anyway, because it didn’t really concern me, I didn’t really give a shit about what he did with his personal life. It made me feel uncomfortable, but it didn’t really affect my work performance, and besides, the Management didn’t penalise him with anything so there really was nothing I could do but to pretend that it wasn’t happening.
We were still talking to each other then, but I deleted him from my Facebook friends list because he was pissing me off with his hypocritical status updates about him feeling so blessed with his family and children when we all knew he was a two-timing bastard who couldn’t keep his dick in its place.
Yesterday, for some fucked up reason, he decided to do another stupid act which had really won him the Asshole of the Year title.
I always go home with Sally because she lives in the same area that I do, and yesterday, when we were about to drive off from the office, I had a sudden need to pee, so I left the car with the engine running and I dashed in to the loo. Sally was in the passenger seat, waiting for me.
When I came out, my car was gone.
The first thing that crossed my mind was, “Oh fuck. Someone stole my car.”
Then I remembered as I was running inside before, I stumbled upon the Asshole coming out of the office. For some reason, I had a certain suspicion that it was the Asshole who had taken my car without my permission. So I went back in and asked the Senior Teacher to call him. Mr. Asshole lied and told her that he was at the Lido (our eating area) having dinner.
By then I was already yelling and saying that this was some fucking sick joke and I didn’t like it at all. I totally hated that place and everyone in it. I was planning to leave early because I wanted to drop by at the car garage to refill the engine oil. And now, the whole plan was totally ruined because of one stupid Asshole who thought it was okay to take my car without permission and drove it around the school, as if it was his.
You’d think that someone of his age and his condition – being married with two kids and all – would have some level of maturity and common decency to know what was right and what was not.
Borrowing someone’s stapler without permission might be okay. Borrowing someone’s car without permission, is fucking NOT okay.
It pissed me off even more because this Asshole knew I was planning to drop by to the garage because I was eating at the same table with him and the other male teachers during lunch and I was asking the whereabouts of the nearest car garage and told them I wanted to refill the engine oil from my car.
When the Senior Teacher called him, he told her he didn’t know that I was planning to do that, which was a patent lie and obviously a shitty one, and so from that I drew a conclusion that he was really asking for trouble from me.
I was so ready to throw the fucking bin at him because I was full on pissed off, it it weren’t for one of the work colleagues who told me to calm down. I was also annoyed with Sally because she didn’t do anything to stop the Asshole from driving around in my car. She didn’t call the Senior Teacher or didn’t even told him to stop.
When Mr. Asshole walked back in, he was smiling like a fucking idiot and mumbling something and I told him to shut the fuck up and I stormed off and went home straight away. I was shaking with anger with this kind of idiosyncrasy, pissed off because I couldn’t at least yell obscenities at him, and I was also fed up with him and with the whole Management for letting him act like this and making him feel like he could get away with anything, including using my car and not being responsible with it.
That’s right – when he parked it back, he left the gear on neutral position and the car would’ve kept running and hit the wall if Sally didn’t pull the hand brake quickly. Like I said, truly a fucking idiot AND an Asshole.
When I was driving home, he called Sally’s mobile and asked to speak to me, which I refused because I would only yell profanity at him and I was already too pissed off I didn’t want to endanger mine and Sally’s life by driving in anger.
The fucktard still can’t bring himself to apologize to my face. Which is funny, considering he had the guts to use my car without permission and thought it was funny to do that, and he couldn’t even have the guts to say sorry and admit that he was being an Asshole.
I would like to see when he finally pulls it off and do it. Any suggestions to what I should say to him?

Take a picture of him with the student.
Send one to the head teacher, send a copy to his wife.
That ought to pretty much shut his yap.

First off, if I were you … I will probably write off Sally from my friends list too and that means no free ride anymore. As for the bastard all you can do is bring this matter to the attention of the highest authorities in charge there. Calling him names won’t change anything, this person is definitely wired wrong aka pervert nut…you should in fact be careful for he might do something bad to you (please remember your safety has to come first). Just report him to your boss (not the Indonesian boss if possible) and see what will they say. If they still condone his wrongdoing, perhaps it’s about time to leave this place. Good luck sis and stay safe!

Totally agree with Elyani. Apart from the fact that he’s a totally asshole and what a pervert he is, he seems dangerous to me. U better take care of yourself ther. And yes, Sally should be written off from your friend list. She doesn’t have the decency to stick up for u. I mean, ya paling ga tell him what he did is wrong or inform others what he did kek.

I would pull him aside and tell him that he is a rude person with no manners and that I do not appreciate him doing stupid jokes on me. I will also tell him that I know that not only is he rude and has no manners, I also know that he is immoral and a perverted dude. I would let him know that I know he is having an affair and I pray his wife and kids would not find out because it would probably shatter them (just to make him think about what he’s doing). And then I would tell him not to even talk and look at me anymore except when it’s work related.
or
I would wait until everyone is gone, and come up to him with a baseball bat and smash his head like it’s a watermelon.
problem solved. :p

Ther,
I can imagine how you felt when your car wasn’t there where you left it cause my car was stolen at a parking lot in Jakarta once. What made it worse for you was a colleague of your, the asshole took it for a joy ride.
First of all, I agree with Elyani about Sally. Second of all, as the owner of the car you had every right to explode on site confronting the ass hole with his reckless action. But then again, the effort of other colleagues of yours to calm you down was a very polite and may I say very Indonesian way (avoiding conflict and awkward situation).
Anyway, I believe you are professional at your work to be able to treat him strictly as a colleague when needed. Good luck girl.

I think you are correct, he is an asshole.
But remember, he cant help being an asshole. Maybe he isn’t very bright, or maybe something happened in his life that made him this way. The affair with a pupil suggests this.
I picture an insecure man who needs to prove himself – especially to women. Pity him and try to help. Offer him counselling for his obvious issues. Tell him real men don’t behave in this manner.
But above all, think calm thoughts. On the grand scale of things, does it matter? It only affects you because you allow it to affect you. Slip though life like a ship through water. Burning valuable brain cells and heart beats over an asshole is a waste.
(And DON’T hit him on the head with a baseball bat, or anything else….)

Therry…
It has been a while since I have read one of your posts, sorry. But having read this one, I feel like I have been missing out on all the best gossip. And, besides, you have a polar bear commenting here and I have not seen or heard from a polar bear in a couple of years.
On the asshole (arsehole in my part of the world) front. Rima’s idea has a lot of merit, although it is likely to see you in more trouble than this arsehole is really worth.
Now, messing with his world might give you some temporary relief. A photo of the two lovebirds and an envelope with the name of his wife and her address on it might give the arsehole some pause to evaluate about who he is messing with. But, weigh the options in the sense of is this fella really worth the effort?
Just move on. Civil but cold is always a good choice. Always rise above his level, it brings you respect and gives you some street cred among the students.
