Don't We All Have An Opie In Our Lives?

7  2017-06-10 by lifeobenreilly

That friend with a narcissistic streak that can kill any mood of joy you have? That Uncle that tells you stories of High School Adventures that probably never happened? The cousin who always hijacks your event to be the center of attention? And you often wonder why the hell you keep him around, as he stomps your Inner Cake in front of you, over and over and over?

I think we've had a breakthrough, gentleman. Take a deep breath and schinkleboutit.

What if you are the Opie in your life?

Then your wife is being fucked by a Skater Boi, no one at work likes you, your underling is aiming for your job, and for God's sake blow your FAWKIN nose!

sniff

If you don't think you have an Opie in your life, it's because you're it.

I did,but he turned 7yrs old and out grew out of that shit.

Where we at with the Sesame Street, Daddy?

I am currently in the process of phasing someone just like that out. Know this fucker since my early twenties and I, and everyone in my circle of friends are sick of his me me me shit. He is actually in a very bad spot in his life at the moment but nobody fucking cares because he is such a self important pouty, aggressive drunk. This cunt goes on facebook and posts about how he wishes everyone was dead and then talks about killing himself so he gets some sympathy from people he doesn't even know. Fuck him. Hey that does feel better.

We have a buddy in my group, and much like Opie, he is the reason we all know each other.

But as time as gone on, he's become bitter and resentful, seemingly of our success. I've had a stable job for 20 years and am now in management, my other friends are going places - he's finally found a stable job after 14 years of knowing him and is just now succeeding, but he acts like it's better than our jobs (it's not). He also has a very common, EXTREMELY treatable and minor form of a typical health condition that he talks about constantly and gets depressed over.

We love the guy, but he's so full of his own shit half the time that we can't help but bitch about him. At least he's more redeemable than Opie.

See it's so far past that now for our own burden. Nobody can stand this fucking guy, he's basically homeless, a "suicidal" drunk, and just a fucking drain on everyone around him. And that's really it, he just drained everyone of any sympathy or pity, his family hates him, friends hate him, I know it's terrible but he should really just take himself out for every ones sake. Such a fucking burden...

Yeah, yours is an irredeemable shit. Ours we know means well, even his wife knows, and she's a saint putting up with his nuttiness.

He has multiple kids - all accidents - because he won't wear a bag and, I quote, "real men don't get vasectomies." We never let him live that one down. It's one thing if he had a lot of money, but he doesn't.

If you dont have an opie in your life YOU ARE THE OPIE
