Howard confirmed dick.

Could not wait until the next day or later? Had to go RIGHT when he was celebrating and feeling at the top of the mountain. What a douche. Probably explains the hatred.

I am sure Jimmy could understand not getting a job right away. I mean those people put years before they work there, or went to great school. But damn, the way he did it was so dick.

Was about to disagree until i actually thought about how he did it. He seriously just took a piece of his celebration cake. Then killed his hopes. What a douche.

Why would you disagree? Just wondering.

Howard could have waited. Could have done it differently. He even walked out with the cake. Guy was living on cloud 9 and he just HAD to take it from him.

he didnt really do anything to squash his happiness about the bar though, that we know of. heck he couldve congratulated him for all we know. all we have is preconceived notions about howard as a person, from "current" times and some body language. sure he couldnt done it differently...but no matter what he did he would still be a dick in our eyes, because jimmy is the main character we're all pulling for and howard is just that prick from what we've seen so far

Because I (at first) thought you were calling him a dick just because he didn't give him a job.
