thermotron mark lamers—Dead Nigger Storage- seminal training
yes– when John Tenbrink — was a party man service technician– at Thermotron–
he spent every day in a bar starting– at lunch– but he did work a “whole day” when Bob Wiley– came on the work site– to review the “progress- of-the-job”
yes and when John tenbrink– tried to find another job– he discovered — only Bob Wiley — would work with him– —
as Russ Barns — a former thermotron emoployee said ” well they don’t pay me much–BUT- i don’t do much every day any way”
Just take the customer to lunch– and get him tosend a praise report — of your job performance
i got training at a thermotron seminar — with John Tenbrink–
and John Tenbrink spent the week drunk- and running around town– being a guide for some drunk customers–
So Bob Wiley said at the conclusion “well john i am not able to give you a thermotron certified of completion because you did not attend any of the classes–
and Gee i hope you are not like this on the job!! ( and he was)
ENVIROTRONICS– we hire drunks and liars and embezzlers– YES at envirotronics
we have our standards which is “get the customer DRUNK
and find out how much budget they really have to spend–
and AT thermotron– we set the standard– for taking the customer to LUNCH
America has changed her formerly Christian values to Satanic ones, without any one understanding what has happened.
liar thief slander thermotron training
Now is it only holland michigan and the environmental chamber business that holds so many liers theves, embezzlers, back stabbing slanders, and murders??
Shelly in parts and logistics,said slandering and murdering people is OK because It’s “Just Politics”
She worked with ester H. who ron wiley said her husben died back in 89, Oh well
with all the dishonest people u can met at thermotron if she reads the book

then she and shelly, (even mark lamers, and jerry sinzack) will see where they and most of their co-workers will will spend their retirement years and years..in eternity
Well guys,do u know anyone in the business that dosen’t evulate that type of criminal behavior as (normal)
say fred plont says ” gee isn’;t everyone a lier and a thief!!”
Greed V Johnson , tom bannish’s pet..it dosne’t matter who u lie cheat and steal and murder ..
so long as u get away with it and blame it on some one else..
he spent 3 years stealing , embezzling and lieing and slandering his co-workers and the customer..
he spent the last year (after bannish got rid of bjarno)
selling real estate and just filling out paper work at thermotron to get a payck.
But Randy Bunn of “Enseco” hired him and fired him after a few months..
they had to go to his house to fire him because they couldn’t find him at any of the jobs he said he was at..
As i told randy bunn.. he was tom bannish’s co-consperitor and false wittness..
and he was stealing the entire time he worked for tom bannishand before.
and before that he was the neighborhood thief, because he showed me the houses he had broken into and robbed when i visited his home in pasadena and met his mother and sister..
I think thermotrons personal dept was a bit lax..
So the robbery thief and embezzlement that was
“OK” at THErMOtRON
was not “OK ” at the next few companies he worked at..
mitch kerr told me that he won’t find any work in that valley any more.
When dan ok eef, and Roger cannary libled and slandered me when i filed a claim with the labor commision..
they said that i “think i am better then these others.. !!
(just because i think lying stealing and robbery is wrong..)
and if i didn’t change my ways then they would “fire me”
He spent the last year after bannish and rouloffs conspired to defrad the salesman Bo bjarno.
just becasue he was drunk alot.. gee this was normal.
when i asked bannish if he was druming out the sec joyce palmer, he lied to me, andd just to prove the point .. my replacement Harry Grace told me that joyce palmer was on his drum out list. \ employee harrasement is very common at thermotron, to get people to quit
Vergina Norris the final sales support person tom bannash helped drum out and quit .. she left becsue tom bannish and gregory v johnson told her .. they were going to harrass and drum out the other people in the office again..
dean Tripp said that’s all tom bannish wanted to do as a manager .. was to “build a case against his co-workers”
Dean tripp left soon after.. tom bannish’s Replacement arrived.. Berry wright..
When berry wright said what do u think about dean tripp?? \
i told dean lies to me and the customers, falsfies his working hours and travel hours, and he and gregg boy work on each others lies..but really
“He ‘s been retired for the last 3 years .. but he likes the regular check!!
he now lives in farmington NM. and is 75 and waiting to go to hell.
i am surprised that some one hasn’t walked into the office of thermotron and killed any number of people
because it certainly is :”OK” to murder and conspire to defraud and mis lead your co-workers or any one .. for any reason..
so it won’t surprise me when some one walkin to the company and shoots any number of those people
Dan okfe “employee attitude survey in the 1985
” preceeded the biggest layoff “,
where as roger cook, and others said he and everyone else didn’t know dan o keefe was going to do that..
getting rid of the people who had 5 years or more so they wouldn’t get vested in any retirement.
and then a month later hiring new people ..
fred plont said they were just getting rid of the dead wood.
it’s no wonder TP and the gang at Sexton Espec told me that
dan K brought a new and greater level of deceite to to industry.
But Ron Wiles told me in 2000 or so that his father started Sexton Espec,
Ron Willey told me way back when he worked in Cabinet that he was a good liar..
I guess he likes to believe his dad was something he wasn’t
like most liers i met he likes to believe lies also..
when he dies and go to Hell it won’t surprise me..
in the bible in Revelation 18′;6 or 18
All liars will find their place in the lake of fire..
(even Bill and hilery clinton..) ha
When Tom Bannish was on the west coast i have never been surrounded by such a big and changing group of liars thieves and embezzlers and slanders..
and when i filed a case with the labor commision ..
employee harresment was intensified..
Do you know the number of people that Tom Bannish harressed and drummed out??
Well tom patterson said that
“either u go along with their lies or they attack you!!”
it is actually going to be a good thing when they
and a number of other’are dead.. because as they demenstrated ..
perverts breed perverts.
.perverting the truth is OK
THE SATANIC BIBLE
SATAN’S STANDARD — THE SATANIC BIBLE
But, there is another standard, advocated by God’s adversary, Satan.
Satan has always wanted people to act in rebellion against God’s commandments. In fact, Satanism has always advocated a complete set of rules of conduct that are opposite of Christian, or Biblical values.
Clinton’s actions constitute Satanism; at this point, many people will roll their eyes upward in the head, sigh, and accuse me of being stupid, ill-informed, or a religious radical for saying such a thing.
Why would they feel this way? Because they have not studied the hard, cold facts. Plus, they would naturally resist accepting such a position, because they might be challenged to change their own behavior! Satanism is not just nasty, evil people meeting in the middle of a night in which the moon is full, chanting spells, and sacrificing animals or humans.
At its foundation,
Satanism is a system of morality that is the opposite of Biblical teaching.
Let us examine this value system of Satanism more closely now, quoting from an authoritative source,
Anton LaVey’s “Satanic Bible”.
Moral Degeneration
As before, Satanism is much more than being hooded in a coven during a Full Moon ceremony. Satanism is encouraging indulgence in all matters of the flesh, as we have already shown.
Once you understand the truth that today’s America is encouraging indulgence in all matters of the flesh, you will understand that we are already prepared to accept Antichrist. Now, we can understand the sentiment uttered above, by a college senior, that the
“President’s sex life is none of our business”,
or that sentiment uttered by another, who said that the President’s sex life is “irrelevant to performing his job”. What this tells you is that these people have the same Satanic personal values as does President Clinton.
Since so many Americans apparently share this value system, the “sheep are ready to shear”, i.e., the American people are ready to be enslaved under Antichrist. I think you have gotten the point by now.
America has changed her formerly Christian values to Satanic ones, without any one understanding what has happened.
But, now that you know, can you see that President Clinton is merely acting out in his life, in his body, the normal inclinations for any good Satanist? And, can you see that those people who think what he is doing is “normal”, or who excuse it in any way, or who express their desire to sleep with the President,
Hopefully some place more reasonable to live than California.
Personally, with the costs and taxes here in Michigan I sure wouldn’t make this my first choice.
There sure were a lot of memories from T-land.
Some good, some not. Some things that were going on in the field I wish I had been aware of–but, in retrospect at least it was something to learn from.
I try to follow the “if you can’t say something good…” philosophy so I won’t say too much about Thermotron but the last 3 years seem to have made the problems with that management theory finally have a major effect on their business.
It surprises me that it takes so long for results to be seen from both good and bad things.
I would expect quicker results.It seems to work for us to be aware of the competition but not sell against them or even address them too much in our approach, just concentrate on the equipment and what we will do for the customer.
I have come to learn that there are some bad customers, very few actually, but it’s best just to walk away and leave those to someone else.
Of course I think we could use more service people but I can’t argue against the volume numbers I see coming in.
The trend is up but not by leaps and bounds so we’re still in a holding pattern as far as adding people. I certainly think you would be an asset.
We don’t have a wild crew (unless I’m missing something again)
but then how wild can one guy be? As we get older we get wiser.To thine own self be true.
(and to heck with the rest)I
hope the move works out well and keep in touch.Best regards,Tom—–Original Message—–
But if i have ever hurt someone it was not intentional,
but interesting hil sysbesma referred to the management style as “petty and vinidictive..
Especally
after o’kefe brought a law suit agains him for a million dallars as recall Hil telling me.
When you leave with out his permission.
Tom banish’s management style as dean tripp
(i believe he is 70 years old this year or 71)
said was”make it hard on him the co workers”
he wanted to build a case against every one..and
Tom bannish was very succussful in that .. without a doubt
who can really fit in there
.gosh i guess i was a square..
ot drinking all that beer at lunch and after work.
That is why tenbrink and dave durham called me squeky..
guess they were wild.. hank william’s songs..”on the road again.. i can’t wait to get on the road again”
john tenbrink singing.. kind of like his brother who died young ” the kurnal ” music man John tenbrink even gave me a record that his brother produced.
yes john tenbrink was a wild man. He convinced John Sherman to be an adulter and ruin his aarrage just so john tenbrink could have a drinking buddy while he was in wichita kansas at Boeing Co. . Marty Rich.. got a taste of his style of “leading people astray” When he was working at Espec he convinced marty to cheat on his time card with him and then when behind his back and blamed marty for it.. This is what tom bannach had people do in California to help build a case against them.
John TenBrink really should have gone to prison for embezzlement when he was at Thermotron and conspiricy with intent to defraud his co-worker.
This appears to be another holland style Holland’ers, church goers particular wird people.. where dishonesty was the policy..
But you Tom Patterson.. always seemed normal..good job…
that’s why u are successful in the sales game..look at these memories..
what a waste of time..
The biggest illusion was
“I thought it was important.. and nothing the work i did there mattered at all. “
Oh i did work at Boeing and Littion as a result of doing a good job BUT
At Thermotron … Dan Okeefe.. really is a basic criminal psycopath..
it was just a monkey job..see i did have a blank on my forhead..
Tom Bannach was right .. he could lie, cheat and slander his co-workers.. and every one would go along with his lies..
Greg V Johnson a Tom Bannach pet was able to rob and steal and embezzle over 50,000 dollars and take home every thing in the office..
and Greg V Johnson and Tom Bannach drummed out and defrauded their co-workers..
Randy Bunn who hired him at Enseco.. Fired him of robbery thief and embezzlement within 3 months of employment..
But Dean Tripp said they (Thermotron) like people like that.. who are dishonest, liars, back stabbers and thieves..
Mary Rich said to me that Thermotron likes it when u tell them that
I converted to Catholicism at 19 but left the church at around 23, however, I did keep up with the teachings, the goings on and the general meaning of the faith. It’s always been a part of me, if at least in an intellectual sense.
My life has changed dramatically since I converted and subsequently left, I went through a very bad time, and then a very good time.
Recently, my life has taken a very difficult turn, more difficult than I ever may have faced before, and only now have I started thinking about coming back to the church.
But this is my dilemma: I feel like the guilty convert who rushes to the baptismal fount because “well, I’ll try ANYTHING at this point!”
I don’t want to return to the church for a quick fix in my life. I don’t want to use religion as a crutch, and I’m afraid that returning in this way, for these reasons would be disrespectful to the faith, and to the Lord.
You have realized that you are weak and need God to be your strength. That doesn’t sound disrespectful at all to me.
__________________ But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” I will rather boast most gladly of my weakness, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
I love what your post says about you….it expresses an honesty and sense of honor.
I would suggest that the parable of the Prodigal son would be helpful with this. The son returned to his father’s house in a similar frame of mind as you express above. What is important to note the attitude that the son returned with…total humility and willing to be nothing more than a servant in the house – not even a son.
You are right that we want to return for the right reasons and it sounds like you have at least some of that in your heart already.
The other thing to remember is the action of the father in the story…He ran to meet his son…listened to him express his sorrow and humble submission to his father.
Pray on these things ideas. God will meet you and will welcome you home.
Peace James

What are all of your thoughts on this?
Thank you.
– Kevin
Kevin my friend;
Allow me please to provide some “food for thought for you.”
Here are some FACTS to consider in your decision.
1. True-God is One
One God can and DOES logically, have only One set of Faith beliefs [truth is always singular]
God always; both Yahweh and Christ choose Only One group of people as “His own” OT = The Jews & NT = today’s Catholic church
2. God can be described as “EVERY GOOD THING [and only good things] PERFECTED.
God can and does PERMIT evil /bad BUT is able to use it for “a POTENTIAL good.”
3. There is no such thing as “LUCK” either “good” or “bad.”
Everything is Ordained by God> Good caused by Him; bad permitted by Him for One of TWO possible reasons.
Gods Glory and Honor
Mans Potentially Spiritual benefit [though which God is honored] When man says NO! to an evil man is rewarded spiritually and God is Glorified. When man says Yes! To evil: man is penalized spiritually; but God is still Glorified because God made GOOD POSSIBLE.
Isaiah 43: 7 & 21 “And every one that calleth upon my name, I have created him for my glory, I have formed him, and made him & This people have I formed for myself, they shall shew forth my praise”
4. Know my friend that even if you make the right [and only right] choice, God does not promise and end to suffering:
Luke.9: 23 And he said to all, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. Luke.14: 7 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.” [means cannot attain salvation]
5. What then is the REASON to become an informed, practicing Catholic?
It is God’s Will that everyone be saved, and ALL salvation flows THROUGH the CC
More help from God is available to informed and practicing Catholics than any other group because we ALONE have the seven Sacraments both Validly and Licitly. Thus MORE Grace is made available to us.
Also as a informed and practicing Catholic one can be assured that GOD WILL NEVER abandon us.
So Kevin the choice is your’s. Heaven and hell are real; and eternity id FOREVER. Pray much; choose wisely.
Everyone struggles with faith and their relationship with God.
It shows how much you honor the church for wanting to come back for the right reasons.
The thing is that there is no “right” reason to return to church.
There’s “either you are in the church” or “you aren’t in the church.”
I really hate how people think that holding on to your religion/faith is a crutch and supposedly something bad.
I hang on to my faith because my relationship w/Jesus is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I don’t see it as a burden, but rather a relief.
Through good times and bad, God is there. As it was in the beginning, as it is now, and as it will be, God is there. How is that a crutch? I see that as security and I draw strength from that.
I may change, but God doesn’t. My ideas about God and Jesus might change, but He hasn’t and doesn’t. I’ve just figured out something about Him that I hadn’t noticed before.
There are a lot of people who don’t go to church because they think that there’s something wrong with them because they are struggling. I go to mass every week and I still struggle. I struggle with the fact that I keep expecting an emotional pitch to accept Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior, but instead get something deeper/more intellectual through the homily. (I was trained very well by evangelical standards.)
We all struggle with different things, but the question is whether we keep pushing ahead or do we just give up because it’s hard to have a relationship w/God.
Thanks for taking a chance on this new project with me. Whether you’re a seasoned preacher or a Bible newbie, taking on scripture can be tougher than gnawing through week-old bagels (dontcha hate when you get those poppy seeds stuck in your teeth??). If I’m being honest with you, it freaks me out a little bit too, but I also think it’s an important thing to try.
There are tons of reasons we don’t pick up our Bibles. The stories are boring. They don’t make sense. They seem to lack relevance for my life, here and now. What’s the use, anyway? I’m never going to know these texts as well as conservatives, and if they find out I’m doing a “Bible study,” they might start spouting verses at me.
Then what???
Then you smile, take three steps back and run like hell.
Seriously, we’re not here to “arm you with the word of the Lord.” I’m not going to drill you with verses until you have them memorized. But regardless of what you believe or don’t believe (or maybe you’re not sure), there’s no question that the Bible is the most important, influential historical and cultural document ever written down. So it kinda makes sense we’d know a little something about it, right?
The good news is we’re not going to start at the beginning and just read the whole thing like it’s one big book. It wasn’t written that way, so why read it that way. Actually, lots of smart folks have gone though these scriptures before us and organized them in a way that helps connect them together. So each week, we’ll have three or four digestible sections of text, and generally there will be something tying them together if we do a little bit of detective work.
For you theology nerds, we’re following the Revised Common Lectionary, as this seems to be the most commonly used liturgical calendar among my peers. And for those of you who just zoned out after reading words like “lectionary” and “liturgical,” don’t worry. We’re not going to beat you down with Bible-speak here.
If you haven’t already, be sure to check out the introduction video I produced to give you a sense of what each weekly study will look like. In addition, I’m inviting some other God Nerds to contribute some “bonus content” from time to time. These will comes from what’s called “Year D” lectionary studies. Basically, the Lectionary divides the Bible up into three year-long trips through the text, so that in that time, you cover most of the Bible. But there’s some that gets left out, and a couple of folks have created a Year D study to dig into some of those parts of the Bible most of us never hear about in church or anywhere else.
Got a question? See something we could be doing better? Let me know, because this is your community as much as it is mine. I’m the facilitator, but it’s my goal for all of us to learn from each other. Most important, I want this to be a fun experience. If you miss a week or two, don’t stress. Just jump right back in when you can. There will be archives of old studies if you want to play catch-up, but more important than being able to brag to your Jesus-freak friends that you’ve gone through the whole Bible is just setting some time aside to learn some new things, consider some new ideas and to dust off some of those old questions you’ve been carrying around for so long about God, Jesus, the Bible and this faith we call Christianity.

im Roelofs is here but kicking back a little, we have tried to give him more responsibility several times and he says “No thanks”.
He’s reached that stage where he realizes responsibility has more drawbacks that positives and is real comfortable where he is – smart.
It amazes me how things repeat themselves and if you just pay attention to history you have a pretty good idea of what’s going to happen next.Hope things are well with you .Tom P.
interesting that jim r is with u.. because “Curt” who replaced bo bjarno.. said all he did at thermotron was walk around with a good grip on his ankles..
When we told chryel the 4th secretary that left the office, to mention to tom bannash .. that bo bjarno was drunk every day and it scared her..
all jim roelofs did was conspire to defraud him..
I had worked with him for 2 years drunk and asked dick Mc Kinley about it .. when he was hired..
But thomas bannach and bo bjarno — started the employee harrasment with Joyce palmer
and it continued with 3 or 4 more people over the next 2 years..

Understanding Workplace Harassment
Workplace Harassment is a Form of Discrimination
Unlawful harassment is a form of discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other federal authority.
Unwelcome verbal or physical conduct based on race, color, religion, sex (whether or not of a sexual nature and including same-gender harassment and gender identity harassment), national origin, age (40 and over), disability (mental or physical), sexual orientation, or retaliation (sometimes collectively referred to as “legally protected characteristics”) constitutes harassment when:
The conduct is sufficiently severe or pervasive to create a hostile work environment; or
A supervisor’s harassing conduct results in a tangible change in an employee’s employment status or benefits (for example, demotion, termination, failure to promote, etc.).
Hostile work environment harassment occurs when unwelcome comments or conduct based on sex, race or other legally protected characteristics unreasonably interferes with an employee’s work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment. Anyone in the workplace might commit this type of harassment – a management official, co-worker, or non-employee, such as a contractor, vendor or guest. The victim can be anyone affected by the conduct, not just the individual at whom the offensive conduct is directed.
Examples of actions that may create sexual hostile environment harassment include:
Leering, i.e., staring in a sexually suggestive manner
Making offensive remarks about looks, clothing, body parts
Touching in a way that may make an employee feel uncomfortable, such as patting, pinching or intentional brushing against another’s body
Telling sexual or lewd jokes, hanging sexual posters, making sexual gestures, etc.
Sending, forwarding or soliciting sexually suggestive letters, notes, emails, or images
Other actions which may result in hostile environment harassment, but are non-sexual in nature, include:
Use of racially derogatory words, phrases, epithets
Demonstrations of a racial or ethnic nature such as a use of gestures, pictures or drawings which would offend a particular racial or ethnic group
Comments about an individual’s skin color or other racial/ethnic characteristics
Making disparaging remarks about an individual’s gender that are not sexual in nature
Negative comments about an employee’s religious beliefs (or lack of religious beliefs)
Expressing negative stereotypes regarding an employee’s birthplace or ancestry
Negative comments regarding an employee’s age when referring to employees 40 and over
Derogatory or intimidating references to an employee’s mental or physical impairment
Harassment that results in a tangible employment action occurs when a management official’s harassing conduct results in some significant change in an employee’s employment status (e.g., hiring, firing, promotion, failure to promote, demotion, formal discipline, such as suspension, undesirable reassignment, or a significant change in benefits, a compensation decision, or a work assignment). Only individuals with supervisory or managerial responsibility can commit this type of harassment.
A claim of harassment generally requires several elements, including:
The complaining party must be a member of a statutorily protected class;
S/he was subjected to unwelcome verbal or physical conduct related to his or her membership in that protected class;
The unwelcome conduct complained of was based on his or her membership in that protected class;
The unwelcome conduct affected a term or condition of employment and/or had the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with his or her work performance and/or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment.
What is Not Harassment?
The anti-discrimination statutes are not a general civility code. Thus, federal law does not prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that are not extremely serious. Rather, the conduct must be so objectively offensive as to alter the conditions of the individual’s employment. The conditions of employment are altered only if the harassment culminates in a tangible employment action or is sufficiently severe or pervasive to create a hostile work environment.
Report any incident of harassment immediately to your supervisor, any member of management and/or to the Director of the Office of Workplace Diversity.
Note
Any employee wishing to initiate an EEO complaint arising out of the alleged incident of harassment must contact an FCC EEO Counselor or other EEO official within 45 calendar days of the date of the incident. For information on how to contact an EEO Counselor, visit http://www.fcc.gov/owd/counselors.html. The employee should not wait until the agency’s internal harassment inquiry is completed to contact a counselor if waiting will allow the 45-day time limit to expire.
This is the most essential step to becoming an asshole, and probably the most difficult.
It requires an amount of study because you will need to know your field.
Faking is not an option; a fake will be held up as an object of scorn and as a pretentious moron, which is clearly not your objective.
I’d suggest specializing in a particular area, like food or music. While General Assholery is spectacularly impressive, it requires nearly a lifetime of study to properly attain.
Knowing your field means knowing it utterly; if you intend on being a Food Asshole, you’ll not need to be able to instantly tell the difference between a good Chateau Lafaurie-Peyraguey and an indifferent Puligny-Montrachet, you’ll need to be able to expound to your host or hostess on why the former would have been a much better choice to serve with dessert.
Step Two: Use Really Big Words
This is a much simpler step in your ascendance to Divine Asshole. All you’ll need for this is a thesaurus and a dictionary.
Take some common place words and replace them with obscure ones, instead of “beauty” say “pulchritude”, instead of “childish” say puerile.
Make certain that you are properly using your new obscure words; loudly correct anyone who uses them improperly.
Step Three: Choose Something To Hate
It doesn’t matter what, as long as it is something almost universally loved. Don’t hate the French if you’re English.
Don’t hate the Backstreet Boys or N’Sync, or you may be mistaken for a wit instead of an asshole. Whatever you do decide to hate, make sure you know enough about it to hate it properly, I’d suggest hating something in your field of expertise.
If you’re a Food Asshole, hate Italian Cuisine, if you’re a Music Asshole, try hating Mozart or The Beatles. Make sure that whatever you do hate, is common enough to come up in casual conversation; if you’re an Art Asshole, don’t hate Gustave Caillebotte, as it’s hard to bring conversation repeatedly around to lesser-known impressionists.
Step Four: Always Manage To Turn Conversation Around To You
No matter what the topic of conversation is about, make sure you play a starring role in it. If someone is complaining about their hateful and psychotic ex-boyfriend, tell them all about your evil ex, who was way more evil and psychotic then theirs. If you don’t have an ex, make one up.
If someone manages to mention something remotely related to your field of expertise, monopolize the conversation. If possible, turn the conversation back to the thing you chose to hate in Step Three and complain loudly about it.
Step Five: You Are Always Right, Be Secure In This
This is the culmination of your training as an asshole. Once you have mastered the first four steps, you are ready for this.
When someone decides to argue with you about the merits of the thing you hate in step 3, intellectually bludgeon them using the words you learned in step two.
This should not be especially difficult if the hated item is one in your area of expertise from step one. Resort to ad hominem attacks deriding your opponent’s intelligence.
Don’t be overly concerned about being clever, witty or eloquent; you are an asshole afterall, not a bitch. If you manage to win the argument either by logic and reason or by your opponent leaving in disgust; be an ungracious winner and taunt your fallen foe.
Conclusion
If you carefully adhere to the above steps, you will be a Supreme Asshole in no time.
While you may not have many friends,
you can be secure in the knowledge that being an asshole is always better than being a jerk or a loser;
they not only lack friends, they lack style. date a engineer at thermotron– smile
