They are there, lurking in the shadows, waiting for the tiniest little opportunity to screw a guy.
But it seems like karma takes care of these guys, because they never seem to get ahead. They bounce from here to there, from place to place, from this business to that business. They never get any traction.
They don't have their own ideas so they attempt to steal ideas from others. They don't have enough creativity to generate an original thought or product, so they lurk like a vulture waiting to swoop in and rob a guy of his creative inventions.
They don't have people they've done business with for years and years - rather, they have a lengthy history of guys saying they too were screwed. They turn the tables and say it was they who was screwed. To believe their endless excuses, one would have to believe that they are the unluckiest people alive.
What a life, going from one screwing to the next.
Karma!
