I just quit my job last week (lawyer). Everyone said stay in touch, make sure you give us your email, phone number etc I said "no". (I threw a pizza party for the office on my last day, I bought about 8 pizzas, I'm not a total dick).

When people say "we'll have to get together sometime, etc" I never say that, if I want to do something with someone, I'll just ask them to when I want to.

When people invite me to or a party or something that I don't want to go to, and I know they'll give me grief about declining, I'll just say "that sounds good" and don't go. Later the person will realize that I never said I was coming, I just said it sounded good.

I'm assuming you ignore the "What happened to you last night? You totally smoke-showed" texts the next day?

It's just stuff you say. I agree with everything you said, but sometimes you just need to end a conversation.

Sound about right?

Well played counselor. Statements can and will be used against you.

To b fair, he did say he's a lawyer. The only lawyer I've ever met that wasn't "lawyery" was troutman, if that makes any sense.

And also, I was pretty drunk, so maybe he was lawyery, but I remember not lawyery.

haha okay, even I'm not that much of a total a-hole. You honestly 100% just flat out say no?

You just say definitely, smile and move on. You don't Dwight Schrute the situation.

Do you suppose he tipped the driver or just snickered and said "no" under his breath when the option to tip came up on the debit machine?

I told everyone I wasn't the best lawyer, I wasn't the worst lawyer, if people want to say anything bad about me when I'm gone, fair enough, but at least I threw a hell of a pizza party.

No it wasn't 8 cheese pizzas, and I picked them up.

I didn't see why the hell anyone should feel obligated to go out for lunch as a group and have to spend money when I was the one leaving.

I only flush the toilet in my own home. If I'm at someone else's place I just leave it. Flush your own goddamn toilet. I'm not touching that filthy thing.

Sometimes if I've really polluted the room, I'll lock the door handle and close the door behind me on the way out so nobody has to deal with it. This often leads to confusion and frustration at parties, but they should have thought of that.

Holy crap man. You sound pretty weird. What other Johnnyisms do you have that would be worth sharing? You've definitely piqued our interest.

Coming from you this is quite a compliment. I too am quite curious.
