There always seems to be this incredibly shitty person everyone else tolerates

[chardmonster]

I don't get it. "Hey they are totally offensive and treat people like shit but we insist on hanging out with them all the time, even when we ourselves are nothing like them."

I hate having to stop spending time with people I legitimately like to avoid... assholes. I barely see my best friend from college because she married a complete dipshit couchgolem who thinks the word nigger is hilarious (he has like one black friend! It's okay!) and called her fat while she was pregnant with his kid. Did I mention he's fat? I wouldn't care except the man literally looked like fucking Drunk Shamu at his wedding and he's making his wife, who DANCES, feel fat.

And I'm not even talking about the Great Assholes of my life, just this one tertiary dude! The Great Assholes are even harder to explain! I don't understand.

I think it's a holdover from the pre-internet era where you didn't really have a choice but to tolerate shitty people if you didn't want to end up completely alone. It's one of those "norms" that I think is going to finally die out with the millennial generation.

"complete dipshit couchgolem"

Oh, that is SO going in the books.

And then people are always apologizing for their asshole friend.

"Sorry about that. That's just Dave. If you knew him, you'd know he's just like that."

If that's what he's always like, why do you spend time with him? If you know his behavior is shitty, why are you apologizing behind his back instead of calling him out on it? What in hell makes you think I now want to get hit on by someone who insists on being friends with an asshole and apologizing for him? Why would I date someone who comes with an asshole friend I would have to be around sometimes?

Seriously, man. There was a girl I went through grade & high school with who everyone thought was a harmless clown. One of my earliest memories of her was when she kicked my best friend in the stomach and complained that my friend was just crying for attention.

Hell, when I came out as bi in senior year, she screamed it across the lunch room and started insisting I must want to fuck everyone I know, especially family members, until I made her stop. And people still try to tell me she's not so bad.

People like that deserve to be alone and unliked and told that they are unliked because of their shitty behavior.

But it will all sadly go over their head and they will never figure it out and will probably blame everyone else for having abandoned them.

I've heard it called The Missing Stair.

Social groups decide this one freakin' broken stair that inconveniences everyone would be a pain to fix and make a pact to just... step over it. And yeah it's annoying but stepping over it once is easier than driving to the hardware store and buying everything and fixing the stair. One shitty social interaction is less shitty than the drama bomb of booting the asshole. (of course years of shitty social interactions are more annoying than the one time drama bomb, but who has time for that?)

Plus there's probably some "I'm earning good karma points by being nice to someone who treats me awful" justification going on. People like to feel like they're special and more tolerant than everyone else and it's virtuous that they put up with being shit on when weaker people would be quitters.
