Doing Great Mr-B.
I agree with your assessment of Yawn Wayne's superior attitude and ego. I've never made any bones I don't like it. Nothing about it is cute or funny. We all come here expecting people to live up to their word and then this guy comes along playing state games; basically saying, "I know I did it. You know I did it. But you still have to prove I did it."
When you cross paths with someone of the mindset it is frustrating. You'll never get the truth out of them and not because they don't know the truth.
Here we have a guy who was just paroled after 40 years. His crime was late night convenience mart robbery. Story goes he enter the store jeans, sock hat, jacket; tossed money on the counter and wanted a pack of cigarettes. The clerk was a young girl working an after school job. When she turned her back to him to get the smokes, he put his hand in his jacket pocket. When the register opens he glares at her and points his finger still in his pocket (imitating a weapon) and says, "I could use that too." Motioning to the money.
You can imagine this young lady is terrified. Her first job, she's been there a month or so and this might be her last day on earth. She grabs a bag and dumps the register in it. He stands there staring her down and says, "You know, I meant to get beer too." And he glares at her all the way to the cooler and back to get his beer.
Still staring her down, he picks up the bag, walks to the corner of the sidewalk and drank a beer, staring this young lady down. Eventually he disappears about the side. She calls the po-po and locks herself in the rest room.
The police find this guy at the back of the building drinking. His story is he's not drinking in the parking lot and it's not against the law to be dressed the way he is. He was out for a late night walk and happened to find the beer and the bag of money. No he didn't have a gun. He's done nothing wrong.
He's totally oblivious to the how terrified the young woman is. It's all about him. Eventually he allows that even if as in the store and everything occurred just the this terrified young woman described he was not guilty of anything because he never told her he had gun, he never demanded the money and besides all the the money never left the property so they were wrong to charge him with anything. His story didn't impress the judge, jury and the people who had to deal with him.
Forty years later he's released for humanitarian reasons (bad health) still insisting he was wronged. He didn't commit that crime and even if he did commit that crime, he didn't have a gun, and he didn't demand the money. It's not his fault she gave him the money. He wasn't picked out of a proper lineup so the girl was telling what the cops told her. Yada, Yada, yada........an excuse for everything with no truth in anything.
And that's what I see in Yawn Wayne. He has no concern for social norms of honesty and truth, or the people involved, as long as he can concoct some nonsense to avoid having to admit he lost. He's like the guy who had his parole revoked (he was out six months) after being caught walking down the street with a stolen television We're expected to believe he found a $2000 television sitting beside the street. And the thing isn't worth $2.50 (to him) because he needs a remote and cable to make it work. And that;s not him on the Ring camera.
That's what you're dealing with when you try to be nice to a person like Yawn Wayne. He's not joking and it's not all in fun. And if not came to him or you lay every penny on it being you, because he's not taking the fall.
