I recently learned what fnord is, and it totally blew my mind and made me laugh.
So I'm going to be using it more often because it's part of my philosophy.

Well.
It either implies a conspiracy, or is a nonsense word.
You'll have to specify which version you use.

The fact that there are already multiple, completely different definitions, without including whatever you consider as the "real" definition, means you should probably clarify yourself.

Okay guys I have an issue.

I like to help people a lot. Helping people makes me happy. Generally when people ask for help, I'm happy to help. I might even help if you don't ask.

There's this person I don't like. Probably the person I hate most in the world.

This most hated person invited me to lunch and asked for help.



I have no idea what to do.

Just play it cool and see what he/she needs, but be modest about it.

If it's something that ticks you off tell them that and work on resolving things.

All assuming he/she doesn't know you hate him/her.

I didn't know you hated me that much, CC.



Why do you hate this person? If it's because they have really wronged you or done something really terrible, then it's not so wrong to tell them to ♥♥♥♥ off. If you like them just for some subjective reason then it's still ok to tell them to ♥♥♥♥ off but helpfulness seems like an important part of your identity. As long as they're paying for the lunch, you don't suspect it's trap, and you're prepared to say potentially say no, at least hearing them out seems like a good idea.

Help them by eating their lunch for them, then shoo them away to go figure out their problem on their own with all that time they saved by having no lunch.

But in all seriousness, without giving the fine details of both your compulsion to help people and your hatred for this person, others' perspectives probably won't be very helpful in balancing them out.

To explain things further, this person is my used-to-be step dad, and for around 14 years he's been the greatest source of misery in my life. It wasn't only until recently, maybe 4 months ago, that my mom finally separated with him. My older sister and my mom were under the same stress as well.

Now that he's living away, things are getting better, but he's still giving my mom a lot of ♥♥♥♥, and apparently he's trying to "mend" his "relationship" with me and my sister. I don't buy it, because if he was never a good person for 14 years and ignored how other people were telling him that he's being an ♥♥♥hole, how is he going to change now? He's said sorry before, and they all meant nothing.

Does he know that I hate him? I don't know, I made it very clear that I didn't like him when we were still living in the same house, but he's dense enough that a bullet probably wouldn't be able to penetrate his skull.

The help that he's asking for isn't much. He's just interested in getting a new computer and wants to ask me for advice. It's the lunch that irks me. I don't think I can say more than two words to him without getting angry.

Tell him to get a Mac.
Then you're wronging him, AND he thinks you're helping him.
