Cruelty comes so easily online. Send your Cyber Spaz one final olive branch, then delete his entry from your address book. Whether online or in the flesh, potential mates deserve to be treated with respect. Until you learn that, you'll be spending a lot of alone time with your hard drive.
Dear Karma Cleanser:
I worked at a grocery store that just recently opened but soon went out of business. I bagged groceries for a pitiful wage for about six months before I became involved in a different task: A co-worker and I began to steal as much beer as we possibly could before we got caught and fired. We got away with about $4,000 worth of beer, several fine cuts of meat and three grocery carts over a two-month period. Very soon after that, I quit the grocery store and went to work at the pizza place in the same shopping center. About a month later, my partner-in-crime at the grocery store got big-time busted for all the thievery we'd pulled off when I worked there. Many other employees got busted as well. Since I didn't work there when the bust went down, am I as guilty now as my friend, who is spending a five-year sentence in prison? -- FEELING A LITTLE GUILTY
With employees like that, no wonder the grocery store tanked! Yes you're guilty, and also damn lucky that you went into the pizza business before the beer hit the fan (or something like that). Send your prison buddy a lavish care package and steer clear of co-workers with sticky fingers.
