he said he should not have to worry about what he says to anyone at work, especially women. I said women have had to put up with this for years, and if men need to tread lightly, so be it. He was dropping F bombs, the whole 9 yards. Funny, coming from someone who lost his job over something he said to a female coworker. He is such an ass.

It sounds like if he stops talking to you, it will be a win. Sorry you have to deal with that.

And yet, he flies off the handle when someone says something to him. He sounds like a peach.

That he is. He also thinks its not up to him to tip at restaurants, because its not his fault restaurants don't pay a living wage. |

He must be fun at parties.
If my BIL started hurling f-bombs at me, it'd be over. There'd be an AITA post on social media and he would lose.

Sounds like he's an angry little man, and he is probably mirroring behavior he saw growing up. Break the cycle, dude!

An apology followed by a "but..." is never a real apology. Sounds narcissistic. They can never apologize and really mean it.
I'm sorry you have to deal with that. Is he someone you are in frequent contact with or just now and then?

If one of my in-laws went off on me, especially using curse words, it would not be pretty. And that’s before I got my chance to get a hold of them!

Sounds like he needs to calm down and stop being so emotional.

I guarantee you he doesn’t say anything he wants at work. He just thinks he should be able to say anything he wants to the people he deems unimportant.

I've been wondering what he did or said, and this makes sense. He sounds like someone who wants to be in charge or always right. It certainly wouldn't have been the first time, if he was fired. Wouldn't most places have censured him, or even offered some training? |

Is he your husband's brother or married to your sister? (I hope he's not married to your sister)
He doesn't sound like anyone I would want to be around.

My Brother was used to talking to his friends using F words. He would call and use expletives with me. I would immediately hang up. He then would call back and apologize. Some say that you teach others how to treat you.

He is married to my DH's sister. They do not live nearby, so I don't see him often, but when I do, it's for a longer time. Just got home from spending a week with him and SIL. I wanted to ask him what he said to the woman, but DH and SIL walked up about that time, so I didn't. He is not my favorite person and don't care if he knows it.

He did say "I am sorry, but..." so is that realy an apology? If a sentence has a "but" in it the part of the sentence before the "but" is a lie. The part after the "but" is the truth. I heard that this week and in pretty much every instance I can think of, it seems to be true. |

Sadly, there are a lot of men who feel like this. They just manage to hide it in public and not flip out on people who disagree with them.
