It's hard to believe that the guy really is 48. I occasionally receive hellos and greetings from girls (women, ladies...) who are in their early twens and hesitate to reply because of the age difference, and Hugo here especially targets them.

Trying to talk sense to him feels like 'reasoning' with someone who follows an extreme political ideology: reality blind, defiant, huffy, immature, egoistic and ignorant of the world around them. I wonder how many dislikes the guy must still earn for him to see that he's on the path to failure.

@Hugo: if you had ever done team sport, you could answer this question really easily:

If the trainer says "turn around" and you suddenly face 99 people, while 99 people are looking at you - who has made the wrong move - you or all the 99 others?
