Slackers & Cry-babies


Nothing I hate worse than someone who takes on a responsibility and then abdicates because the job is harder than they thought. Or merely avoids doing the onerous tasks in favor of the ones that are fun. Or delegates all the unpleasant stuff to other folk and either does nothing or only does the cool stuff but then takes credit for the entire operation. Gotta love a Caligula! Or would Nero be a closer match to this personality type?

And of course this sort of behavior goes hand in hand with blaming everyone else when things don't go according to plan and chastising folk for daring to suggest there is a problem or taking to task the Nero in question for said slack.

Just one more reason to live on a deserted mountaintop and avoid the huddled masses.
