Thank you for having a brain inside your head. Most people just assume he rolled in and wanted everything done all at once.
Was it a mistake to keep going? Yes. Were there some red flags? Yes. Can this kid talk like no tomorrow? Yes.
All in all I did screw up but no where near where this kid has and now he is going to pay for it.
