Oh Luigi, where art thou?
In jail
and in our hearts
Thought experiment: how would our closest ape cousins deal with an individual like this in their midst?
My guess would be: fangs.
His valuable protein would be redistributed to the rest of the group.
Casual Geographic covers this.
Chimps REALLY don’t like bullies.
Put him an ape enclosure and find out what happens.
On live TV, put the money towards the kid’s college.
This popped into my head. Part of the ending of Trading Places.
Is that Norm Macdonald?
I watched this movie for the first time with my grandma, really funny and since it was so fresh in my mind i knew exactly what scene it was
Much bludgeoning.
F yeah. These so called “alphas” like this exemplar wouldn’t live too long in prehistoric times. People don’t like selfish idiots and never did. What took us through all the dangers in the early history of humanity was our bondage, helpfulness and compassion, not “uga uga I was faster”.
bondage
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
Possibly a smidgeon of feces flinging
thank you for the invite to the party
He’s got some regrets now, but he is acting like it was all some big mistake instead of him being a fucking sears tower of feces. Get bent rich asshole, the world is not your oyster and we see right through your B’s excuses.
not regrets that he is an asshole, regrets that he wasn’t a more efficient asshole probably. More like “I should have covered my face better” or “I should have snatched it faster”
Sounds like a job for Captain Hindsight, the hero of the modren world.
He’s been made to apologise now, presumably by his board or shareholders. The US Open is a nuts sports tournament; there’s always some crazy scandal or meme coming out of it. The chicken tendies and pepsi lady, who got a record deal out of her bizzare food combo, springs to mind
“apologise”, After writing not one but three posts to say that not only he was right, but gave a free life lesson to the kid.
It’s more like that someone else used his account to write that, maybe even without permission
this is fake lol
I’ve just done a dive into this myself. It’s not fake. The CEO is an arsehole and a bully. Luckily, the tennis player meet up with the boy later and more than made up for the arseholery.
the most detailed story about this is I think here
It says the initial comments were made in Poland’s GoWork forum with apparently hundreds of people calling him out but the post has been since deleted. Also even if the comments really existed, perhaps it would be impossible to really prove that the commenter is really this CEO.
thanks, none of the articles I saw had the gowork forum info, just the bs apology
You got proof?
The comments he supposedly said is hearsay but he deleted his social media accounts since the controversy so yeah lack of evidence is a form of evidence. https://www.primetimer.com/news/did-polish-ceo-piotr-szczerek-say-first-come-first-serve-following-viral-us-open-hat-snatching-backlash-viral-statement-debunked
Still an evil bastard though.
No, he didn’t, here’s his actual apology post from his company Facebook page.
every article I found on it was a bs corporate apology
I’m just assuming that he’s not stupid and gutless enough to say what’s on the OP on public and then backtrack on it. maybe he said both, idk
Wow. Another sociopath CEO. What a shocker.
“If I don’t steal it, someone else is gonna steal it!”
It’s a prerequisite for the job.
It doesn’t have to be, but it is.
“Piotr Szczerek, a Polish chief executive of a paving firm, said he was “convinced” tennis star Kamil Majchrzak had been “passing his hat in my direction”.”
Article: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce93klk0jpzo
(Also the kid got to meet Kamil later on and got another hat from him)
I don’t know the validity of that claim in the original picture, but IMO the CEO is a lying sack of shit in this declaration. Look at the video. The way he snatched the hat clearly indicates he intended to get it before the kid could. He knew fully well what he was doing and his only regret is to have been caught on camera.
The douche still has the hat and that’s unacceptable.
If I were Majchrzak I would clarify he did certainly not ‘pass his hat in his direction’ and that he wants it back.
Otherwise he can file a police report for theft.A normal person who actually did the mistake he claims to have made in the BBC article wouldn’t be able to keep that hat because it would make them feel intense shame every time they looked at it.
This CEO is a narcissist.
True, he will show it to his scummy friends and be proud while telling this nice anecdote.
The hat has to return.
It’s a legit quote by him from a now deleted forum post on his website:
“The recent incident at the tennis match has caused a disproportionate online uproar. It’s all about the famous hat, of course. Yes, I took it. Yes, I did it quickly. But as I’ve always said, life is first come, first served,” he claimed.
“In the end, chin up, hats off, less venom, more sportsmanship.”
More sportsmanship after that? What??
There can be sportsmanship now with others because he got his. Which is the only important part. Whatever happens after he gets his is “meh, whatever”
Thanks. He is now a confirmed grade A piece of shit.
A polish paving company called Drogbruk
Drogbruk literally translates to Road Pavement, there’s at least twenty companies in Poland named Drogbruk.
It’s more like Roadpave, but yeah.
Well, seems Luigi will be having another talk.
I think we found the next GOP candidate for president.
Wow, he’s even a bigger piece of shit than we thought
These kids aren’t there by themselves. How do you not confront a shithead like that as their parent? Cause to me it sounds like we’re getting thrown out of here, junior but you’re getting that hat.
The kid might actually be down at the front by themselves
Some people don’t want to teach their kids that immediately going to violence is any way to solve things. The ceo is being tarred in the media and the kid got to meet the player and got a hat anyways so it seems like the parents made the right decision.
Yeah as a parent this kind of thing is tough. You don’t want to teach the kid it’s ok to let people walk over you but you also don’t want to teach them it’s ok to use violence. I’m not sure exactly how I’d react if that was my kid and I was sitting close…
rabid dogs. the rich have no concept of restraint
When we do a much needed global French style revolution can I suggest all CEOs be put on the list
can we make an income level exemption? i’m arguably the ceo of my flailing music business. we’ve made a total of like a thousand in revenues dollars over 30 years and given away way more than that in free services.
Fair
yea there are many small scale businesses with CEOs on top which are not generally assholes. I think a criterion could if the business has some billionaire shareholder then the odds that the CEO is an asshole significantly rises.
Summoning Luigi
I think this is fake. According to this article, there were fake reports of things he said in regards to the event. Here is an article about the situation. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/piotr-szczerek-polish-ceo-us-open-child-hat-b2817864.html
Do you have eyes?
To me, the video does not match his current apology
OK, please hop back onto youtube and block that AI slop so that it never shows up in your feed again.
Okay, so the video I posted is AI bullshit. Right. But I’ve seen the clip within the video of him grabbing the hat from the kid on numerous other non-youtube videos.
Very shortly, I will back away from all of these social media and video playback services completely. I’m too old to deal with this bullshit.
That CEO is a c-word. A fucking cunt.
AI? Feck. I don’t think I can handle it
I’m not debating whether he is an asshole or not. He probably is. However, we don’t need to put words into his mouth to see that. Creating fake quotes to make him seem even worse than he is is how the right wingers do it. I’m not going down that road. That’s what I meant when I said the quote was a likely a lie. As of that article the only person he’d spoken to about it was that journalist, and he didn’t say what’s in the OP.
