The other day I talked to one of the sales reps, a Japanese guy about my age, I'm a personal friend with since earlier, and he was extremely happy as he told me that he had a few weeks earlier had a cancer screeing test that gave preliminary positive result and he had been going for a few more in-depth tests the last weeks but had earlier in the day received the final result that the initial test had given a false positive and that he was perfectly healthy.He was positively beaming as he told me how he felt like he had gotten a "new lease on life". After listening to this for a while I replied back "well, that’s great you know, but if you think about it, nothing really happened and you’re actually just as miserable as you were three weeks ago" as he had been pretty miserable and fed up with work. It was like a cloud passed over his face as his beaming smile turned into a concerned frown and I walked away to get myself another cup of coffee humming a merry tune to myself.
I actually didn’t mean to ruin his joy, I was just trying to help him get things in perspective and I did feel slightly bad for pissing all over his little parade…

Yes, you really are the master of pissing on peoples parades. I guess you maby should be proud of being good at something.
Your an Asshole.
I'm an Asshole too.
But I'm smart and I enjoy pointing out the painfully obvious to the blissfully ignorant among us too.
You just reminded him that he is on the same boat he's always been on. I guess if that's an ugly little boat than that musta hurt a bit.
But don't go shootin' the messenger ;)
god your mean.
