so i peripherally knew a guy back 20 years ago, who was a bit of a dipshit like this. i’ll call him “idiot”. our connection was peripheral. basically, i was friends with another guy who belonged to this charitable organization that the idiot also joined which had this affiliation with the catholic church. idiot was more or less our age and was doing this 1 year service mission through his church to do volunteer work somewhere in the US and get a little stipend for living expenses + volunteer experience.
most of the people i met through this were the sort of people who would take a summer off to live somewhere unfamiliar and put effort into some community organization there. like sort of “i give a fuck” types. the placements were like giving sandwiches out to the unhoused, helping with after school programs, etc. situations where organizations have no funds for additional people, so they would take whatever help they could get from wherever.
anyway, everybody else who was in this pot of volunteers was generally-speaking agreeable. except idiot. he was the most stereotypical hospitaliano-americano from NYC guy i had ever seen not on an over-the-top TV show. AYY-O! just ridiculous, and very aggressive. this was before Jersey Shore, but he was totally one of those guys. a too-tan meat head.
anyway, i don’t know what happened but he got booted out of his placement like immediately, which he insisted was for “some bullshit” without elaborating. so the organization kept him in the office to do office work while it found another placement. apparently this like never happens, but they didn’t want to push him out of the program without trying another placement.
anyway, so he’s in this little office with quote “nothing to do” for a day, and what does he do? he gets on a computer and looks at pictures of women in bikinis and lingerie. and not just that, he finds a dozen or so that he likes, and PRINTS THEM UP so he can look through them at his desk. this guy is like mid 20s. AYY-O. the charity director who is trying to find him a new placement sees this and kicks him out of the program. the idiot tries to argue that it’s not a big deal, because nobody is naked. it’s not pornography. the director explains that it is inappropriate and a waste of their slim resources and the idiot calls him a repressed loser and a cheapskate… though is somehow surprised with the director follows through after this line of argumentation and ejects him anyway.
the craziest part of this story is that i am hearing this story FIRST HAND from the idiot and he tells it just like that, completely baffled why he’s been fired from a volunteer job and told to go back home.
I had an acquaintance explain to me how he had been fired from his job and all he had done was draw multiple pages of fully erect penis’s on his art pad while on duty at his desk. He was also baffled at his dismissal while all of us listening where like why would you do that
