Have you ever met or known someone who exemplifies the “schrodingers asshole”?

[Still-alive]

Im sure youve come across someone like this either online or irl. They just make an obviously offensive statement and based on how people around them react they play off it by either laughing acting like it was a joke all along, or mean it if people agree with them.

[CrazyGirl2]

Okay! Well, that is definitely a new one on me… What exactly does the psychology of the Schrodinger’s Asshole entail? I mean is it like a philosophical question regarding whether his asshole is alive of dead when his pants are up? Or just whether of not he’s still an asshole when nobody sees or hears his assholisness? I guess under this standard the old saying “if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it” could be re-branded Schrodinger’s tree!

[Still-alive]

Well the name an obvious play on schrodingerrs cat but much much less elegant lol.

But yeah if he makes the statement in a vacuum with bo witnesses.. maybe that just makes him/her a plain ol asshole :p

[CrazyGirl2]

Lol 😂

[loves2learn]

Sounds like gaslighting. My husband used to say offensive things to and about me and then try to say he was kidding. That really bothered me. I’m glad he stopped.
.
Our neighbor’s named their cat “Schroedinger’s cat.” Lol. They call him “Schroedy.”Or however its spelled lol

[Still-alive]

lol.

what kinds of things would he say that was offensive? jc

[loves2learn]

“jc”? 🤔

[Still-alive]

just curious

[loves2learn]

I realized that as soon as i said it. 🤣

[Still-alive]

lol internet lingo and all

[loves2learn]

He would blow up at me about something stupid like like asking a question about something. Then i would call him on it and he would claim he was kidding. 🤔 But how is that funny? He cockblocked himself a lot of times doing that tbh.

[Still-alive]

damn... so whats like the worst time he ever did it? what did he say?

[loves2learn]

One that really stands out is a time i was looking at the calendar and saw that he had an event one evening so i asked him if he needed me to pick up the kids that day and he said yes and thanked me for asking. Ok. Cool. Then i looked at my work calendar and realized i didn't have anything that day so i said actually i was going to take the day off rather than having to take a half day to pick up the kids.

He blew up and said i needed to think things through before i talk. Even though the end result was I was still doing him a favor by watching the kids in the afternoon so he could do his thing.

[Still-alive]

damn pretty rude id say

[loves2learn]

Yup. Things like that used to happen a lot. It’s hard to remember all the specifics but i remember feeling steamrolled a lot.

[Still-alive]

Maybe you need to get a real steamroller and give him a taste of his own medicine. >;)

[loves2learn]

Back then I would have. Happy to say he’s learned with time how to not cock block himself. 🤣

[Still-alive]

so more like a cock guide now, not a block lols

[loves2learn]

Lmao. I’m proud of him.

[ChrisMaster69]

I’ve a mate that does this shit.

annoyingly he comes out with it then says something like ‘yeah that’s right isn’t it Chris?’

chances are I was not listening and just agree.

he the walks off leaving you holding whatever bollox he said and everyone looking at you.

[exitseven]

One of my ex=bosses was like that. He kissed up to all the vice presidents and they all knew he was full of shit. One of the VP's came to my office one day and asked me if this guy was for real.

Thanks for the MHO

"They just make an obviously offensive statement and based on how people around them react they play off it by either laughing acting like it was a joke all along, or mean it if people agree with them." - Yes, I've met people who act like that irl. That's basically everyone I've been dealing with since 1996.

[electromagnetic]

No yet. But when I do, I’ll invite them to GAG so everyone can take a 💩 on them.

[Still-alive]

I like pooping on bad people. Favorite past time ;)

[DarkCarousel]

Schrodingers douchebag. Yes.

[Kas19]

They're usually narcissists lmao.

[TheSpaceGnome]

[SamA_nold]

Yes 🤔
