There’s a guy I used to work with 20 years ago. We got on alright, but then something changed and he really took against me. I’ve no idea why, or what happened. I guess I said or did something that pissed him off, and he didn’t feel like he wanted to tell me what. But it got to the point where he was kinda violent towards me, so I just kept my distance, then left the company (for reasons unrelated to this).
He later went on to work with some of the guys who work at my current place, who I get on really well with. Anyway, we were talking about people in the industry we’ve known over the years, as you do, and it comes up that they know him.
One of the guys bumped into him at a party a little while later, and mentioned that he was working with me now, to which he was told “Oh. Is DJDarren still a fucking prick?”
And I honestly have no idea what I did wrong.
I later discovered that I’m ADHD as fuck, so I guess it’s something to do with that.
I think our shared friend did ask him, but just got some non-committal answer along the lines of “he’s just a wanker”, which isn’t very helpful. I know I’m a wanker.
But yeah, one day he was fine, the next he seemed hostile to me. It’s entirely possible that I said something as a joke that he took as sincere. Lord knows, I do have form for that sort of thing, and I used to be a bit edgier back then, as many of us are in our 20s.
