Squidward lives in a moai between Spongebob Squarepants' and Patrick Star's houses. This character is portrayed as ill-tempered, lazily, cynically, misanthropic, and selfish, and he despises the constant noise of his two neighbors. Spongebob and Patrick still consider Squidward a friend, unaware of his antipathy towards them. Squidward works as a cashier at the Krusty Krab restaurant, a job which he dislikes.
