What would Maggot do?
#1
Since I don't believe in religion, I decided our supermod was a good replacement. Kind of a 'dear Abby' for Mock.


Dear Maggy,

A while back, one of the art associations I belong to was approached by a nearby town to facilitate a community art project. The association agreed to do it, and asked members if one of us would Volunteer to head up and organize the project. Cutz (name changed to protect the innocent) stood up and said "I'll do it, I have an art degree and have worked with kids before, so I'm perfect for this job". Everyone was grateful to Cutz for stepping up, and we all told him so. He told everyone "I won't let you down".

Cutz came up with a plan, which had to be submitted to the town's selectmen for approval. On the day of the selectman's meeting, Cutz called me and asked if I'd attend the meeting with him. I agreed, and went.

Cutz presented the proposal, which was a field of flags, with each flag being painted by a community member. Selectmen Sally, MS, and Aussie were very excited and immediately approved the proposal.

Then cutz stood up and said "well, I'm getting married soon, so I don't have time for this, Cannongal's going to take my place" he then walked out of the room.

I sputtered, and tried to beg off, at which point Aussie informed me that if I didn't make the project happen, the art association would be sued by the town for breach of contract. Luckily, I have been in charge of large projects in the past, and after much cajoling, begging and pleading, (I even had to get my own family members to help that day, because none of the associations members had the time to help facilitate), I pulled the project off with a field of 5,000 flags. It was considered a great success.

Then, a newspaper article congratulated Cutz for a great success. Facebook posts praised cutz for all his efforts, the town made a donation to the art association on behalf of Cutz. Cannongal was never mentioned, or even thanked by anyone.

I quit the art association after that, but occasionally, I still see Cutz getting praised for the flag project-he wasn't even there that day.

Now I need some advice...Do I a) Put a hefty dose of ex-lax in Cutz iced coffee, b) Shove a potato up Cutz's ass, or c) be like Elsa and let it go.

Sincerely,

Cannongal

None of the above - stand up and take credit for a job well done. Every single time you see Cutz praised you need to step in and set the record straight otherwise it's all a big, fat lie. Do it! Tell the story like you just did here. The person taking the credit is lying to everyone that gives him a pat on the back.

Obviously I'm not Maggottyboo.

Cutz sucks.

I think you should shove a potato up Cutz's ass.

Can you be like Elsa and freeze his balls? Then hit them with a hammer, and put the broken ice pieces in his exlax laced iced coffee?

Or do what Duchess suggests and actually set the record straight.

Almost afraid to open this I should read it.
This is what I would do.
Get a coffee first
Ok, I'm not big on Facebook but I would probably thank Cutz for letting me be part of the big flag day event. Maybe state that you are very thankful for letting him allow you to participate in the organization, scheduling, followup etc. etc. etc. Lay it on real thick explaining what he let me do for the project. All the ins and outs the preparation that he allowed your family to help with. Maybe some things that they sacrificed for the project and how appreciative I was for letting me work on the project.
In the end I would congratulate him on his recent wedding and would give special emphasis on the date of the wedding.
It might strike a nerve in his simplistic ego riddled mind and for once in his life maybe give credit where credit was due. The emphasis would be on thanking him for letting me work so hard.
Post it on F.B. twitter, twatter twacker wherever I thought would get the most exposure. No way he would get away with that the lazy lying fuck.

Dear Maggot,   

I reserved a venue for my 10th anniversary.    After we agreed on a price and amenities,  the owner of the venue decided that it should be a 3 day music festival,  and wanted to charge my guests and family members to get in.   I  canceled the event,  and forfeited the deposit,  but now the owner says if I don't pay for the bands and portopotties, she will sue me.    I  told her to go ahead and try,  but what would Maggot do?  

Sincerely,  cannongal

Well how much was the band worth, did anyone put a deposit down? If not tell them to pound sand if they didn't lose any money, why should you. Any lawyer would see it the same way as would any judge in small claims. If it was under 500.00 fucke-em it will cost 800.00 in small claims anyways. 

Bake a pie, bring it over, offer it as a gift. If that don't work look around for witnesses, if you see none, mosh it in her face and run because her eyes will be filled with pie.

She broke the contract right there.
