Asshole 1st grade.

I worked for a guy just like this.

He couldn't enjoy his new possessions by himself, so he went looking for the envy of others.
Since I don't care what other people have, he was always crestfallen when I displayed no envy as I was supposed to.

Perhaps joy and satisfaction only came to him through Schadenfreude.

He also had a "kewl sound system" on which was playing tracks like The Back Street Boys and Maddona. He labelled the CD "alternative mix". When a colleague seemd stunned the music was labelled "alternative" , I explained that it was the alternative from "good".

:rofl:

Well, in my defence, I was a bit tipsy as well.

That's inspirational stuff there Gilly. :chuckle:

Certain high court judges would pay you good money to do that sort of thing or ex racing car presidents :spank:

Bad as consumerism is for material possessions I would say being a Doomsday Prepper is even more wastefull.
