One day, you get a phone call from an old high school buddy of your's, telling you that he can get you a 30% discount on the 'Horizon Forbidden West' game on PS5. You just received a two-weeks pay check for $2,500 from your career as a game developer at Sony Interactive Entertainment. Your buddy is a Sales Supervisor at Best Buy, who has a great relationship with the head employer there.
Horizon Forbidden West
His conversation with you over the phone, involves you confronting him at the store, so he can hook you up with some more of the best games of today, for another 30% discount on each game. You're a very busy person and you don't have time to drive 15 miles to his job; You have a wife and kids to think about. Your friend knows that, but he DEMANDS that you visit his store anyway because he claims that the deal is only valid for 24 hours.
You tell him to override the discount deal because you're a very busy person and you simply do not have time to get it right now. Your friend then LOSES HIS TEMPER, inadvertently slamming the phone on the hook. 5 Mins later, he calls you to apologize for his irrational behavior. Little do you know, he is JEALOUS of your success as a game developer, while he claims he's stuck as a Sales Supervisor at Best Buy.
The problem is that he simply will not let his jealously of your success, die in the past. 5 years ago, you and he applied for a job as a game developer at Sony Interactive Entertainment at the same time. They decided that you're the more qualified person for the job than he is. Ever since then, he's been FURIOUS with you since.
What's there to be jealous of?... He just so happens to be better looking than you, he's 6 foot 4 while you're 5 foot 8, he's physically superior to you, and he's more talented than you are in sports. The thing is, he's jealous of you because you're making more money than he is, you're more mentally stable, and he claims that you intentionally stole his dream career from him.
Now I bet you're thinking, why doesn't he move on and try looking for another job? It's because he has psychological problems and would rather solve his issues with VIOLENCE. He takes medication for his psychological problems, but if he does something out of the ordinary, it'll make you suspect something about him. You and he, made an allegiance back in High School, to never let anything (not even a career), destroy you guys' friendship.
Another problem is that you're unaware that your friend is a SOCIOPATH and would rather ruin your life to get what he wants. How are you unaware of this? It's because you only hung out with him every now and then. The only time you ever here from him nowadays is when he sees an opportunity to ruin your life.
Fast forward, you decide to drive by his job one day to check up on him and see how he's doing. You find him sleeping in a tent outside of Best Buy, asking people for spare change. Why is that? It's because he allowed his temper and psychological problems to get THE BEST of him, and let's just say that things got too far out of hand.
Normally, employers are required to provide reasonable accommodation for potential employees, only if they struggle with mental limitations and physical disabilities, if they are qualified for the job and that said employer is aware of the situation. Unfortunately, he NEVER DID report any signs of mental disabilities on his job application, so now he's screwed out of a job.
You make a huge mistake, being unaware of the situation and taking him under your wing, ALLOWING him to stay with you for a month until he gets back on his feet. He's eating up all your food, living rent free at your place, and increasing all your utility bills!
Lazy Person
You can't afford to feed a 6 foot 4, 260 pound man because you have a wife and 3 kids. A month goes by, and you tell him to 'get the hell out of your house' because he's too much for you to handle and won't look for a job! He takes it the wrong way and decides to seek out REVENGE on you!
YOU crossed the line!
He waits for you to drop the kids off to school, drive your wife to work, then waits for you to go to work. While you're at work, he catches the bus to your job, hot-wires your car, drives it to a parking lot across the street from you, and manages to remove the engine from your car. By the time you get off work, you notice your car is missing.
You panic and call 911. They then tell you that it's across the street from your job. You then call AAA to tow the car to your mechanic, then give you a lift home.
By the time you arrive home, you notice that someone has BROKEN INTO YOUR HOUSE through the window! The house is in a wreck and you call 911 on your house phone, but then you notice that your phone wires have been disconnected. Unfortunately, while you attempt to dial 911 on your cell phone, your reception mysteriously goes bad.
While you're standing there, panicking and trying to figure out what to do... he comes out of the closet, attacks you from behind, and begins to CHOKE you with his left arm, while he prepares to STAB you with a THICK, 15 inch kitchen knife in his right arm (which has BLOOD on it)! Obviously, he's off of his medication. He just got through MURDERING someone by STABBING them to death because they caught him breaking into your place!
Very quickly, you figure out what kind of friend you're dealing with. He outweighs you by 100 pounds and he's 6 inches taller than you! Your cell phone is smashed on the ground.
Btw, you don't have much of a choice, here. It was inevitable that you were going to fall in this situation. What are you going to do?
NOTE: I will be posting more of these because they're fun and keep you guys visiting and commenting. I'll let this one sit for a while, before I post anything else.
