Because we all love stories about people behaving badly:
Postal tracking shows the (rolled) painting has arrived at the office of Ungrateful Oik. Although I emailed him instructions for unrolling and mounting the artwork, he has not replied nor has he bothered to thank me for this gift, worth over 1500 pounds British sterling.
The painting was made to his specifications about size, colors, et cetera and he had said before (back when he was speaking to me) that he absolutely loved it.
I’ve seen him online, tweeting to other people, but ignoring me.
He’s a public figure. I’m tempted to reveal his name. Oik.
(Edited to add: I did reveal it. Here’s the entire story.)
Name and shame that fucker!
Quote from @PortiaSmart: “I’d be in raptures if I had that painting.” :o)
Thank you. Here’s a hint: he has a government job in the UK.
That’s a tough one. Someone with a government job in the UK that you felt was worthy of receiving a gift. Can’t think of anyone at the moment.
Another hint: Painting was mailed to the House of Commons.
Okay…well, after many hours of painstaking research and careful consideration, I have a guess. Wanna hear it?
Will you DM me on Twitter instead of posting it here?
Adam’s guess was wrong 🙂
Oik is online again, tweeting about how the world misunderstands him and how rude people are to him. Poor Oik, eh? He needs 10cc of Selfawarion, stat.
