Of course,I have met people like Stephen Bear,
Seeing as you have directed your question to me personally I will answer you,
I grew up in the Middle East, my late father and mother were in the medical / aviation field.
I lived in the UAE when it was pre Disneyworld glitz...and gobby ex pats.
In the latter years of my time there, and as a teenager I have encountered so many gobshites like Stephen Bear that would ridicule and insult *usually women* , in the full knowledge that if any of the men present, took them to task...the police cells and deportation awaited.
Pathetic baiters,.
Hated by every one of us and immediately known as idiotic WUM's and ostacized by all right thinking people.
I see the same behaviour time and time again with Stephen, he has the protection of BB and the housemates are terrified of getting turfed out so will not call him out.
So yes, I have met and unfortunately been in the company of disgusting tools like him.
