| Nice guys really DO finish last | |||||||||
| HOME | BACK TO RANTS | ||||||||
| I�m a nice guy. No, really. Stop laughing, that wasn�t meant as a joke. I�m serious. Sigh. Fine, I�ll give you a minute. �Waiting� Still waiting� Okay, better now? Can I get on with this? Thank you. As I was saying, I really am a nice guy, most of the time. As long as people don�t push me too far. But then, that�s true of pretty much everybody on planet Earth, so why should it be any different for me?
Here�s the problem though. You�ve heard the saying �Nice guys finish last?� Well, I can confirm for you that this is pretty much true, if a little bit on the soft side. What someone REALLY meant to say was, �Nice guys finish last, but they don�t even get a chance to finish until they�ve been assraped a few dozen times by a nearsighted Asian ex-con with a baseball bat wrapped in 20 grit sandpaper.� That�s a much more accurate description of a nice guy�s life. And that�s what I go through on pretty much a daily basis. I wake up, when I get the chance to sleep, and try to help someone with something. Then later on, I bend over and take it like an inmate, because I know that�s what I get for being nice to people. The worst thing is, I can�t stop. I have been this way since I was a little kid. I know what�s going to happen. I know I�m going to get walked on, or blown off or whatever, but I still have to be nice to people. Does that make me an idiot? Maybe it does. I won�t argue that point. A lot of people feel they can get away with shit, and then drop some lame-ass excuse and everything will be okay because I�m a nice guy. Nice people get taken advantage of. This happens all the time too. We�ll do things for people when they ask us, but then sometime later when we need something, these people are never around. Not that I do things for people just so I can get them to do things for me. That�s NOT why I do it. It�s just my nature. I don�t do it just to see what I can get out of it. I actually LIKE helping people out when I can. It�s the taking it in the ass part later that I could do without, but unfortunately the two seem to be perpetually linked. But just because I�m a nice guy that doesn�t mean I won�t get a little peeved when someone I go out of my way to do something for blows me off. Cuz I know damn well all of these people would hate it if it was done to them. Not that I could ever intentionally do that to someone, because I�m a nice guy. Now you�ll have to excuse me, because it�s been a few hours and I need to go bend over because I�m sure I was nice to someone recently. |
