"That Guy"

As we all may know, no-one wants to be "that guy". You annoy your friends a little bit, and they start saying "Don't be 'that guy'!". That's how it always goes. But has anyone ever asked the question; who is "that guy" really? Well, let's think about what things we all suppose "that guy" does. He does mean things to people, which can be considered "dogging out" a mate. This causes stress, a mental pain, and in some cases, physical pain. Another thing we would all know is that "that guy" is a guy. Another fact we should take into account is the fact that some people either dislike or hate being "that guy". Sure, we can't help but cause a bit of mischief around our friends for enjoyment values, but the minute we take it too far, we become "that guy". Immediately, we stop having fun at their expense.

But why? What is it about being "that guy" that causes us to stop what we are doing and try NOT to be "that guy"? Is he a spirit we all have inside that comes out when we have fun at others' expense? Is it just an expression? No, it must be something bigger. It affects males almost everywhere; online, at the school and pretty much anywhere communication is available. So it must be a spiritual thing right? Let's assume it is.

But I guess it's time to end the assuming game. It's been a story for hundreds or thousands of years. The world must end. And it's someone's or something's job to do it. Now now, I'm not saying "that guy" is the bringer of pain just yet, there's still a fair bit to question. Why do we avoid being the bringer of doom? Wouldn't that be an awesome job? No. Not for you anyway. Not even for me. That's why we avoid it. The job is for someone else. Someone who possesses the will to maintain their status as "that guy" for a long enough time. You see, it'll be a hard job to just end the world and what not. Even in saying that, you need to be able to treat it like it's just a job. You'll be forced to murder everyone you know and love, all the innocent families but most of all - all the evil people. So the chosen "that guy" must have nerves of steel, strength, and a lack of love for all things living.

That must be it. "That guy" is a giant game of Hot Potato and the one who holds onto it the most will be the harbinger of pain and doom. It'll be a matter of time before "that guy" shows up. And, I'll be honest, I don't want to be "that guy". And for heaven's sake, you better be bloody sure you'd want to be "that guy" if "that guy" is you.

...

What? Are you just going to keep reading this theory? Won't you find someone else to annoy? Don't be "that guy".
