The spite, hate, rage, apathy and mild irritation thread...

[imJonWain]

Started a new engineering day gig (that I don't want but is the only job I could find here) after working remotely PT for the last 6 months.

Things said to me or in my presence in my first two days by coworkers who don't know me at all.

"Jewish people like to drive Mercedes. Which is weird, you know, German car"

"I don't think there should be a black history month, it should always be history day"

They also tease each other with gay references, play grab ass basically, and want to talk about gun related politics when possible.


Was not expecting this in an office of engineers, technicians, managers, etc... It feels like an autoparts store in 1997.


I cannot wait to move back to the urban NE.

[coldbrightsunlight]

oh no

It's so easy to forget these people still exist sometimes.

[Achtane]

People are disgusting.
Yeah, I've heard some gems from my coworkers.
Said by a middle-aged woman: "Fat girls probably wish they would get raped 'cause that's the only way they're gonna get any action".

Just the other day there were some guys telling a story about how, at a potluck, a coworker who happens to be gay brought in some brownies and nobody would eat them because they might, like, catch "the gay" I guess. They threw half of them away so the person wouldn't feel bad that nobody ate any. I wanted to tell them that half the time, the soap dispenser in the bathroom is empty, so we're all touching each others' dicks all day. But I work with a very small group of people and I know it would be hell until I get a different job.

We drove past two girls walking together down the sidewalk and a dude said something about how "seeing that shit just works my nerves, man. That shit is nasty, why do they wanna be like a man anyway?"
The next dude was like, "and they're bleeding all over the place too. It's disgusting."
I hear anti-gay bullshit all day from these dumbasses, and they'll readily brag about the gun they just got and what it's capable of and what they'd do against an intruder or anyone who pisses them off, or how they used to sell drugs before getting this job, or talking about their shit relationship with their spouse, or pervy shit about girls they see, but in the same breath they'll talk shit about another coworker because "he's an atheist! They don't believe in anything, who knows what kinda shit they get up to!"

Oh yeah at my last job a guy told me something like "I don't see the big deal about Jimi Hendrix anyway. Eric Clapton could play circles around him. It must be a minority thing."

i got one that might beat yours. my sweetie and i were away for the weekend at a rather ritzy resort--not really my milieu, but it was surprisingly enjoyable--and we were out to eat at a rather expensive restaurant where someone was joking about someone who liked to date women in wheelchairs because he could "just push them and they'll roll away." less than 10 feet from my girl, who uses a wheelchair. i took pleasure in making him budge in to his table so she could get past when we left. i kind of wanted her to run into his chair, force him up against the edge of the tabletop, and drive the wind out of him.

[Achtane]

Ugghhhhgghhhhhhghh. That would have been too nice.

[01010111]

Sad boy check-in. It feels like a lot tonight, and it feels like too much to write. But I still wanted to write something.

[TraceItalian]

I got jack shit from BU in financial aid. I'm digging myself out best I can, but if y'all know any decent jobs for a guy who half his business life has been under the table, I'd appreciate it. I didn't get a B.A, just to pry up curbs by myself and get paid $6 an hour for doing it.

Edit: I'm willing to move anywhere I can can get a roof over my head and food in my belly, I'm just tired of living hand to mouth

Yeah. There are a lot of turds in this world that need to be flushed.
The Hendrix thing though my all time favorite rock god story is the one Jimi cut Eric's head... "And was just at looking at his own hands in disbelief"

[dubkitty]

Pete Townshend tells a story about the first time he saw Hendrix. He and Clapton were standing at the back of the club, and it was so shattering that they wound up holding for support.

50% of the month I'm a single parent, usually week on, week off

I "used" most of my current free week to just vegetate...
nothing really happened or moved in my life/house
I've worn and slept in the same clothes for 5 days now,
the days & nights are a blur of sporadic sleep, hours upon hours of netflix & youtube, and living on cheap chips, ice cream and stuff
I smell like a pig

fuck

can I please go back to being grateful for what I have already?



OK, let's see...
I guess it is still better than the last winters
this round, I fired up the oven at least every other day instead of just staying in the cold,
the amounts of junk food were smaller, partly organic & interspersed with cucumber slices,
no alcohol, hurray & thank god for that,
hey I even really practiced guitar the last two days & hit some drums today, that felt good

I just soaked all the dirty dishes & still have tomorrow to clean up the rest of the house and myself,
I guess I will manage to be an OK to good dad when my daughter returns wednesday

You'll be good to go, man. Sometimes you just need a little vacay from the day-to-day

BECAUSE i am stupid, when i left the office on thursday i left all my gear there, without thinking that almost surely i won't return for at least 2 weeks becuse of coronavirus/smart-working etc So right now i'm at home and don't have anything to mess with in the evenings once my daughter is asleep.

[friendship]
