Academic butthurt rant

[khronos_keeper]

Oh my everloving blubbery fuck, do I just want to claw the eyes out of this one guy I'm working with this semester.

I'm in a grad program, in a pretty good state school. And you'd think that since this program attracts people out of a desire to be part of the program, that most people would be pretty decent.

Not this guy. Oh no. He's a good 18 years my senior, but acts like a butthurt teenager over the stupidest things. My standard method for dealing with him is avoiding the hell out of him, but now that he's part of my group, the drama he's instigating is fucking ridiculous.

He constantly has personality clashes with everyone, he's crass and rude and brusque, and tries to mask when he over steps the line by piling on aggressive humor and implications that the other person is to blame.

And to top it off, he just sent this nasty email spewing his poor little hurt feelings to our group.

I just want to email him back any of the following:

1.) Grow up.

2.) Get a pair.

3.) Get a manpon.

4.) I don't care.

What do you do when you have to deal with someone who is such an asshole, is so entrenched in their idea of superiority, and yet whines about feeling slighted?

WHAT DO

Re: Academic butthurt rant

I once had to collaborate on a project with two guys, one of whom turned up to every single meeting high as a kite. Or sometimes drunk, but usually high, and was a big loud whiny slacker asshole about his share of the work.

I had no idea how to deal with him, but the other guy who I was collaborating with had this great way of laying on this awesome contemptuous passive-aggressiveness, with these long faintly-disgusted silences whenever High Guy said something stupid or douchey, to make him uncomfortable. And staring at High Guy for a long time like he thought he was a complete moron. And repeating things to him lots of times in a faux-polite way like he was talking to a little kid. And kind of just talking to me while totally ignoring him like he wasn't there when High Guy was especially dickish. High Guy eventually got so embarrassed about it he stopped getting high and being as obnoxious.

If you think you can pull that strategy off, I'd recommend it. Shame is super-useful sometimes. If not, well, I'd just be brutally honest with him about it, as long as you know the other people in your group will back you up.
