There's this one bloke ...

... on the jury I'm (STILL) on that I actively dislike.
Seriously dislike. Want to punch-in-the-face dislike.
It's got to the point that every.single.thing he says or does fills me with rage.
I've taken to getting in later and later, just so I spend as little time as possible in his presence. Up until today I've kept it hidden pretty well, I think, my intense dislike of his very being. Kept myself nice and all.
Until this morning!
Because this morning, day 57 I believe, when I walked and greeted my fellows with a cheery "morning" he said it. He said "good morgen Morgan".
No really, he actually said it.
I know I groaned. I'm pretty sure my face took on a look of pained disgust before I took control of it again.
He thought he was being funny and original, he said so. I pointed out that over the past 40-odd years I'd heard that particular phrase A LOT (somanytimesIcouldfuckingscream) and so no, it is neither funny nor original.
I'm pretty sure he's under no misconception as to my opinion of him.
Fuckwit.
I think I may be ready to return to work now.

I feel your frustration. So many times growing up, the kids would call me "Lowland" and laugh uproariously - they thought they were funny and original, too. Not.

I wouldn't be surprised if his balls shriveled and fell off later that day. LOL. How odd, it never occurred to me that someone might actually think to say that. I can see how someone might say it by accident, while saying "Morning, Morgan" fast, but on purpose. Weird.

I commend you for lasting 57 whole days.

Zoomie, o the childhood nicknames, don't get me started!
E - IF he had any!
Cookie - Death by oogabooga I day!

When this is all over I suspect I'll blog a long list of why I dislike this person so, and then never think of him again!

e makes me laugh!
at least he could have said guten - you can't go changing languages mid sentence, wanker.

Stewpid is as stewpid does. What a twit he sounds.

You are up to day 57 of jury duty? Dear god, I hope that by now (which is the end of next week) it is over - or at least very nearly over.

Then you won't ever have to spend time in his ghastly presence. Ever! Ever! Again!

Morgan - sorry, but I have a giggle in my chest. I'm pretty sure though that it's my total understanding of him being a complete jackass. Perhaps it's that he thought he really did think he was being funny. Or, most likely, it's the image of hime trying to befriend you. I can only imagine your expression! Sorry anyway...

I'd hate to think some poor old lady is in the dock for not paying her TV license and you have her - with this prat winding you up, she'll be lucky to come away with anything less than a horse-whipping ;o)

Caw, I get left off the list for a couple of years I think.
Sue, that's ok, I can't imagine why he'd want to befriend Mean Morgan - there lies only pain!
Roo, we don't have TV licenses, we just pay 8c a day for our beloved ABC!
Fear not though, Mr Accused is no dear sweet little old lady :)
