Freeper archetype spotted.

[UdoKier]

I've heard this kind of anecdote so many times here, I had to chime in.

My dad's GF has a 34 year old daughter. She is rude and unpleasant and only drops in briefly on our family gatherings before blowing the joint. She has no checking account and no credit because she let all her cards go into default. She is ALWAYS asking her mom to send her a thousand bucks every couple of months, even though at her last jobs she has made about 50K per year, and she's still single (chronically).

(I manage to singlehandedly support a family of 4 on 30K in San Francisco and she can't live on 50K in MIDLAND?)

Anyway, this year, after calling on Xmas eve saying her company screwed up her paycheck and she needed $300 wired to her for plane fare, she finally drove in from Arizona. I noticed right away the "WWJD" and "If you think you're perfect, try walking on water" stickers on her late-model SUV (Which she hasn't bothered to change to Ariz. plates even though she's lived there for 9 months)

I asked the GF what was up with it, and she told me that a couple of years ago, after many years of partying and heavy drinking, she had gotten into a DUI accident and that she had had to bail her out of jail, and that after that she had gone to AA and eventually that morphed into her being a fundy of some sort (she's excited now because she's met a promising "Christian golfer").

So, she's still a rude bitch, still can't manage money worth a damn even though she has no real expenses, but now that she is a fundy, she can still be totally self-righteous to everybody. She has moved every year for the last 4 years. El Paso, Midland, Scottsdale, and now she is quitting her job to move to Mesa, AZ for another Job. But she wants to move to Dallas - she loves it there (ugly hellhole town, but it's full of fundy a-holes!)

(some minor details changed to protect her identity)

What is it with major league screw-ups becoming arrogant fundies?

1. They think being a Christian excuses their poor behavior

4. bingo.

We have a winner!

Actually, she's not really a freeper, since she's never even registered to vote. But I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

WWJD?

I don't know, maybe live modestly and frugally without buying tons of stuff on credit then stiffing your lenders?

Would Jesus even BORROW money?

[Deja Q]

9. I second that.

Never toy with a fundie... they'll engage in projetion too, if nothing else...

14. nice...(nt)

2. It's like the clean slate of

bankruptcy. They think that everything that happened BEFORE now no longer matters, because they have been SAVED, BORN AGAIN. Problem is, they begin to accumulate NEW SINS. Then, they beg forgiveness yet again and continue to be assholes.

In the very old days, you'd buy Indulgences and be forgiven, then go on being an asshole and buy another Indulgence.

Same thing with that crowd, only the priests are called preachers and they wear shiny suits.

[UdoKier]

5. Sad thing is, her mom encourages it by continuing to never say NO.

Actually, it's kind of nice that she breezes in then leaves quickly. I'd hate it if she stayed long.

10. The apple does not fall far from the tree

The child apparently was not raised right by Mom. In a sad way, you can not blame her, sick as she may be. She's just playing the strength, and Mom is enabling her.

Oh well. Be glad she isn't around too often.

11. Well I'll be a sonofabitch. Delmar's been saved.

Delmar O'Donnell: Well that's it, boys. I've been redeemed. The preacher's done warshed away all my sins and transgressions. It's the straight and narrow from here on out, and heaven everlasting's my reward.

Ulysses Everett McGill: Delmar, what are you talking about? We've got bigger fish to fry.

Delmar O'Donnell: The preacher says all my sins is warshed away, including that Piggly Wiggly I knocked over in Yazoo.

Ulysses Everett McGill: I thought you said you was innocent of those charges?

Delmar O'Donnell: Well I was lyin'. And the preacher says that that sin's been warshed away too. Neither God nor man's got nothin' on me now. C'mon in boys, the water is fine.

Pete: The Preacher said it absolved us.

Ulysses Everett McGill: For him, not for the law. I'm surprised at you, Pete, I gave you credit for more brains than Delmar.

Delmar O'Donnell: But they was witnesses that seen us redeemed.

Ulysses Everett McGill: That's not the issue Delmar. Even if that did put you square with the Lord, the State of Mississippi's a little more hard-nosed.

-O Brother, Where Art Thou?



That last line always kills me.

3. She'll do great in Dallas.

Looking down on others is a local pasttime. No doubt she'll want to live in the Park Cities.

6. Grasping/aversion see the Four Noble Truths.. it is a cycle that once you

are looped into you cant get out on your own usually.. there are a lot of preditors out there looking for that sort of air head bitch to rip off.

7. You could've called your post, "Portrait of a Loser."

Thanks for reminding me of why I'm still single at 38! :eyes:

[UdoKier]

8. Are you like this girl?

I know lots of people who are cool and still single. Many of them want to be. She apparewntly want's to get married but can't even get a second date. Her personality is just awful.


I'm sure you're much more of a "catch" and certainly no loser.

[NightTrain]

12. Not at all!

But I've had experiences with women who were like her. They have caused such severe damage to my psyche, I now find it hard to keep from running away screaming when I suspect that a woman is interested in me. :(

[UdoKier]

13. Ah, gotcha!

Sorry, thought you had a self-esteem problem. Didn't realize I was so lucky to find a nice, sane, non-fundy girl to marry. (She is a devout buddhist, though. But I can handle that much)
