I was sad not to see more Jake Witz horror stories, so I created an account just to share.

Jake and I started as comp sci majors in 2010. Comp sci was a small group so everyone was friends or at least friends of friends. This meant Jake showed up at a lot of the same places my friends and I were.

My first recollection of ever really noticing him, he was telling our group that once, immediately after their break up, he was at the same party his ex was at. She made out with a guy in front of him to piss him off, so he punched her in the face because "he doesn't care about hitting girls."

Another party, he "stole" some of those shitty tiny bottles of liquor from the gas station apparently. He was bragging about it, but he gave it to a friend of mine to hold. Well, my friend didn't like him and gave it away. Somehow, Jake got word that one of the girls that was with us "took it" so he walked around telling everyone he was going to "shank her."

At a third party, I was playing DD for a group of girls. He was trying to hook up with one of the girls I was DD'ing and was interested in. I kept telling him to back off because she was too drunk and it was time to get her home. He kept telling me to take advantage of her, and that "if I didn't make a move he would." So we left.

It got to the point we'd have to very quietly and carefully make plans and tell people not to bring Jake, but he'd still make his way about. Like a lot of people have mentioned, he didn't really pick up on queues that we didn't like him. One night he'd be treating you like his enemy and then try to be your best friend the next day. He always felt like he needed to be the center of attention. One day I was catching up with a friend I hadn't talked to in a few months. Jake came up, interrupted us, and kept trying to introduce himself. She kind of just blew him off, and he later raved to me about how much of a bitch she was.

Months later, I had made some kind of post on facebook that proved controversial when he got in a fight with my aunt about how pointless having children was and how religion is pointless blah blah blah. (Basically, she thanked god for blessing her with a child because she had fertility problems and he started publicly berating her.) I deleted him and told him I wasn't going to tolerate his petty misogyny and uncalled for outbursts and to pick his fights somewhere else, and to stop being a tough guy behind his keyboard. He responds "dude, im more mature than that lady will ever be, i apologize that you are related to her. woah, not fb freinds anymore, waht a pussy." So I told him it's not that I'm a pussy, he just doesn't know her and I'm tired of putting up with his attitude and I'm not phased by his tough guy act.

I didn't see him for a couple of years but he switched to the college of business too and I ran into him in the halls a couple of times and he always acted like we were friends and wanted to stand around and catch up. My last semester I was lucky enough to have him in one of my classes. He sat next to me with his obnoxious bags of body building meals talking to me like we'd always been pals bragging about how he was entering into all these body building competitions. I started sitting on the other side of the class because he spent the hour making loud comments and being generally offensive to everyone. At the end of the class students were being rude to the teacher on the public moodle forum and I took up for him. Jake replied, to the class, out of no where, "screw you restartyourpc."

Hopefully that's the last time I've had to deal with Jake Witz. Knowing him for 4 years, he's always been a real champ.
