To continue our Shitshow character series, this week we introduce a new character - the Cool Dork. Every Shitshow has a few, so read carefully and see if you can spot the Cool Dork at your workplace.
The Cool Dork – An engineer who is such a dork that he still tries to impress people by doing things that he thinks will make him look cool. He does this because he is insecure as an engineer and wants to break the 'misconception' that he is a nerd, while he actually ends up confirming it.
How do you identify the Cool Dork? For starters, he drives a fast motorcycle to work, which he calls his "bike". It has to be one of those "rice rocket" street racing types. To ensure everyone is aware that he rides a motorcycle, he wears a motorcycle jacket (even though he only lives 5 miles away) and walks into/out of the office wearing it everyday. He also brings in his motorcycle helmet (rather than locking it to his motorcycle) and proudly displays it at his desk so that everyone can see how cool he is. Throughout the day, he will talk about his "bike" as well as other "cool" activities that he does on weekends, such as "getting my pilots license" or "trying to beat my own time at the track."
Because a nerd in camouflage is still a nerd, I throw rocks.
