You know how when you meet someone who's just a bit too friendly a bit too quickly, seemingly for no apparent reason other than that they must be attempting to immediately win over everyone they meet and it sets off your psychopath spider sense? A few months ago this new guy got hired at work and he was totally like that. Called me "sir" for like a week and he didn't even seem deferential. He wasn't even a young kid. He was just off the bat totally charming in that shallow way that doesn't feel warm or authentic but you can't put your finger on anything else to hold against the person and while it's noticeable it isn't dysfunctional and everyone else seems fine around him and doesn't talk badly about him when he's not around.
So for a few months I'm giving him the side eye but not worrying about it too much since he's again not dysfunctional or obviously toxic. I might be just paranoid after years of dealing with these kinds of ****heads after all and he's just an oddly friendly guy. Then a few days ago this other guy we work with makes a sandwich for himself that he doesn't pay for while the manager is at the bank and then leaves cause his shift is over, and when the manager comes back he asks me and Side Eye Guy if the dude stole any food (he's known for it) and Side Eye just snitches without batting an eye. I guess he was pissed that the guy who stole the sandwich left when we were busy and kinda ****ed up but that's garbage behavior regardless, especially since Side Eye Guy does the exact same **** when the managers aren't looking.
Then today he's talking to another manager about how he's pissed that his morning shifts were given to the guy he snitched on and he has to work day shifts, and in my head I'm just like, "Oooohhhh, so I was right about you all along, you ferret faced ****." I don't know if this has been pissing me off on and on over the last few days because the dude who got snitched on is a hella cool dude who doesn't deserve this **** or because I just hate being surrounded by people I feel like I have to treat like secret police or if it offends me that people are allowed to act like this and aren't ostracized as scum for it while everyone enables their behavior (myself included tbh since I never told him to **** off for this).
