Pet Peeve #2...of 42,597
People who can dish it, but can't take it.
We all know these people. The guy who has a smartass comment for anyone who happens by, but the second someone casts a disparaging comment toward his new hair plugs he gets all bent out of shape.
Suddenly, you've gone from loveable joker straight to asshole. You didn't pass GO, and you sure as hell didn't get your $200.00.
People like this piss me off to no end, or, they used to anyway, but in my increasingly old age I've come to realize that they're beneath my contempt. Now, rather than make it a point to see if I can get that guy to turn red in the face on a daily basis, I simply ignore him. Oh, and you know that trick where he hangs around and says some snide thing again, well I calmly turn and say:
"I know you and your cronies here think that was clever, and it was, kudos to you, but do you really want me to reduce you to a quivering, fuming, pants-filling baby like the last time I played this game with you? Is that what you want in front of these people you've brought together to replace the last group that ostracized you for that fit you threw?"
Ok, so secretly, deep deep down, I really loathe people who do this. If you don't possess the strength of character to take a shot, then you have no business delivering one. That's my philosophy anyway. It's part of what makes Lisa the best wife ever, giving as good as she takes, and never getting upset. A quality my first wife will never possess. A quality most women don't possess.
If you don't believe me, try being a man and speaking your opinion about women. God forbid it isn't laced top to bottom with flowery words praising their intelligence, logic, attention to hygiene, abilities to wage war, penchant for fashion, and empathetic yet pragmatic view on everything. Attest to the fact that women are just as greedy, full of shit, smelly, uncoordinated, illogical, emotional, and stupid as men, then you find yourself lumped in with Archie Bunker and his legion of misogynistic neanderthals.
Yet it's perfectly acceptable for women to speak about men in such terms, and nobody gets their panties in a wad about it.
You know why?
BECAUSE WE CAN TAKE A FUCKING JOKE!

There's a lonely, forgotten post that I never uploaded titled "state of the man address". It covered several of the points that you've made.
While I'm too much of a puss to publish it until I work out all the kinks, kudos to you for hitting at least one nail on the head.
And for anyone that complains... learn to take a joke.
Who's the dork you have to REPEATEDLY smack down?
GOOD LORD IT'S NOT ME IS IT?!?!
I can take anything you can dish out buddy! (unless it's fists, not the face, not my pretty face!)
Amen to the "women suck too" part of this post!
It's not any one person, it's a group of people who take themselves too seriously and need to lighten up.
Especially if they're going to deal with me, because I'm likely to say the wrong thing at the wrong time simply because nobody else would dare say it.
I felt it was time someone stood up and pointed out that women wield a double edged sword of their own that is just as sharp as ours.
not me...I only dish out what I can take back =)
policy # 412 section a).
Yup I hate those fucker's who cant take A fucking joke,that's why I have been punished with the Sergent who is on my crew,this fucker can joke,but if I say something he take's it as a personal threat.I fucking hate idiot's like that and as for women,I dare not go there as not to ruin chance's of split thigh pie when I go home for leave in August, later's....so if I am a pussy....well you are what you eat.
HAHA
If you don't get laid when you get back Porter, you need to donate your dick to someone who can use it and join the priesthood, because it's over buddy.

"People like this piss me off to no end, or, they used to anyway, but in my increasingly old age I've come to realize that they're beneath my contempt"
Wow...I must not be old enough then because no one is beneath my contempt.
Give it time.
