I was watching a couple of episodes of Seinfeld yesterday and it struck me how irreverent and irresponsible Kramer can be. He walks into Seinfeld's home, raids his refrigerator, does not show any gratitude, and worse, always puts Jerry into a spot by making him do something questionable if not outright illegal and then walks away when the situation blows up in Jerry's face.
What I found even more confounding was Jerry's tolerance for all the BS that Cosmo puts him through. Not for long though. I realized that most of us have this one person in our lives that we are willing to accord a lot more latitude to and put up with far more nonsense from than we would generally do. Sometimes, these people are a source of joy and sometimes they are the cause of gut wrenching stress.
Who is the Cosmo Kramer in your life?
