What should I do about this guy?

There's this guy that I come in regular contact with who just has one to those "I'll push everyone's limits" attitudes. It gets really annoying at times and no one has been able to shut him up. The kinds of things he says are almost as if he wants to get into a fight... yet he is in no condition to fight (Think really fat with a recent gastric bypass) so I just smile when he trash talks. How do I get this person to stop?

Bleh ignore him, chances are his life really really sucks and thats all hes got. Either that or you can stoop below his level and beat him at his own game, pick on his weight etc.

1st option is more mature, 2nd is more satisfying, your choice 🙂

Oh yeah, that's a good one. Just end every sentence yuo say to him with "fatty".

"Hey, how's it going Fatty?"

"Oh yeah, I hear you Fatty."

"I've gotta run, I have a date with your Mom, Fatty."

Probably drive him insane.

Punch him in the mouth.

That would probably work but I'm looking for a different solution without resorting to making fun of him or punching him in the mouth. Like I said, he is really fat and had a gastric bypass, which means he is fat and malnourished at this point. Would seem cheap... There's also the legal issue of assault here.

Loudly tell him to STFU, and get in his face. If he tries to get physical with you, you'll be in the clear for self defense.

1 - If you're at work.. report him to HR
2 - If you're at school .. report him to your student advisor
3 - If you're out in the real world, WALK THE FUCK AWAY.

I'm going to go out on a limb with a really crazy idea; tell the guy you find his manner offensive, and could you please tone it down?
 
Weren't you the kid that has a thread about what to do about someone talking crap to you on another online forum?

Why don't you just tell him to stop.

no? and holy crap 1999? I've told him to stop. Everyone has told him to stop.
 
At least you live up to your username. Seriously can people not handle things themselves anymore?

You need to reach down and make sure you still have a set, then man up and face the guy one on one. Tell him his behavior is annoying, childish, etc. Tell him that is makes him difficult to work around and ask why he insists on doing it. Await his response and handle it from there. Damn.
 
I had a guy like that in my work group. Harassing everyone over every little thing on their projects about how they were wasting resources and hazing and bullying the new people. Turns out 3 coworkers complained about the dude to the boss and he got reprimanded (the guy was brilliant at what he did and the boss didn't want to let him go). He didn't behave like that again for awhile but then his true colors showed up. Good thing I left.

So 3 options:

A) Tell the boss / HR
B) Confront the bully and tell him to knock it off
C) Beat the crap out of him and ignore the consequences.
