These are the worst men in your workplace: when they finally lose (as they should) they pout and spit out "Fine, you do it." Everyone knows men like Scott Adams. they are arrested in their development at 12 years old, and act like complete shitheels for their entire lives.
What a stupid, pouty asshole.
