Slow, challenged or retarded??

I am not someone that is easily annoyed by anything. I know what you were thinking "Look at all your post, you are annoyed by something". Well, OK, fine, I am annoyed by other's action mostly, but not event usually, but hey, our action leads to event right?

At some point in my life, I have a friend name Chris (Alias.. yet again). Chris is a real kiss up, a brown nose, he will bend over for his boss. We somewhat noticed this behavior since high school. So just a little bit of background. I was a class clown, teacher doesn't hate me, but I did "conducted" a few experiments in the science lab and the electronics lab that the teacher won't be too fond of. Chris demonstrated the "brown nosing" behavior since then. You know the typical nerd you see in Japanese animate? The one that will join you for all kind of destruction work, then turn around running to the teacher telling him/her that "Yeah, I was with them, they forced me to blow up the transformer". That's the exact kind of people Chris is.

Chris is pretty much the last person on earth that I would expect to come to my aid. I still remember an incident a while ago. Ken (one of our commom group of friends) work with Chris in the same company. They pretty much carry the same title, except that Chris has another 3 months on top of him. Being new, Ken wasn't completely cushy towards the work that was assigned to him, as a result he missed a piece of important work. The manager ran and ask him "Where the hell is my report". Ken was ready to leave at that point, he had some personal issues to deal with so he was all packed up and ready to go. And he told the manager "I will try to get it to you by tomorrow". The manager wasn't too too happy, but think that its acceptable so he told Ken "OK, well, if you can stick around for a little and finish it tonight, that will be great, but if not, then tomorrow is fine". Chris found out, ran to the boss and told the boss that "You sometime need to be tough and put your foot down to get your work done, its not fair to us if he get an extra day extension". OK, so fine, it may not be fair, but Ken is new, and he is your friend, WHY??? So their boss ran to Ken, stopped him at the elevator and told him "I want it now"

Through out the years there were numerous similar incident, but this particular incident really annoyed me.

A while ago there was an opportunity for a gathering, I don't hate Chris, hate is a very strong word, just say I "Dislike" him enough that I don't want to talk to him. I am not being rude or anything, I mean, I do say hi to him when I see him and I do answer him when he ask me things. But I will not initiate a conversation, and definitely no "goofy clown me" while in a conversation with him, serious face - We mean business buddy.

THEN, he start asking around "What is wrong with him? Is he OK? I think he is upset at something, but I don't think its me"

Of course its not you, that's why I am normal and goofy around everyone else but you. Do you need me to hurt you to know that I dislike you or upset at you?

If you think about it, people always have justification to everything they do, I mean, will you do something that you believe is wrong? Don't think so. So, I am sure everyone will have some form of justification towards their action and deeds.

I pray to God that Chris will live a long life, its people like him that make this life meaningful, you get something to laugh at......
