It seems very common place to me now a days. Seems like it’s harder and harder to find people that can take a joke. I’m a joker by nature just like my dad was. My wife is constantly telling me that people just dont get my humor.
Fuck everybody else. Lol
I am a joker to. My dad too at 70 still is the center of a family party. Depending on the type of people am with my humor varies.
Amen. I dont care if they get me or not. I’m kind of a loner anyways. I’m trying to be better at networking right now for my career but I screw that up with my humor. People get offended. Politics at work suck. Have to be fake all the time

@alldayeveryday there seems to just be an over abundance of sensitivity. Everyone is offended so easily and parents never help kids get a thick skin and grow the hell up. We’ve been giving our girls shit since day one haha. They’ve learned to be strong and respectful but also easy going. It’s crucial.

Amen. I’ve spent my whole career out in chemical plants and refineries. Offshore oil rigs. From the arctic circle to the depths of Africa. No room for sensitivity. The men I worked for in the beginning were brutal. Treated us terrible. You had to be tough. Thick skinned as you said. Now a days if I say something to someone at work in have to go through sensitivity training. It’s actually happened. I put in a two week notice at one company and wrote on a dry erase board “2 weeks till no more (my bosses name)”. He turned me in to HR and claimed it was a death threat. Sent pictures in and now I’m on the “not eligible for rehire list” with that company. It’s a sad world.

Awesome move, but not too smart in hindsight.

At the time I thought we were friends and it was meant as a joke. In fact after he took the picture of what I wrote he erased his name and put my name in its place. I laughed. Touche. He waited till I was actually gone to contact human resources.
Next time, just write “Syonara Suckers!” on the sign out board on your last day LOL

These days that may be considered a death threat too. “Is he talking about blowing up the building?”

I have fired dozens of people. I’ve had workers take a letter opener to the meeting. Basically a knife.
I’ve had workers signal they would cut my head off.
HR did shit. I ended up taking a cab home instead of train at times. And am very vigilant at the termination meeting and bring a witness in that can handle stuff.
Sickos out there.
But don’t tell the wrong female that you think her hair looks nice.
Why would anyone want to hire a woman? They can essentially ruin your life.

Please do not take this the wrong way. You are one of the smartest young men I have ever seen on here or let alone anywhere.
BUT, are you on the spectrum? I am not joking or being an asshole. I get this vibe of autism/Asperger’s ? I have an autistic child that is 9 and I have seen some of the same social issues with you as with him.
@ChickenLittle true story. The women in my practice work at least 3x as hard and are more efficient. The only issue is that they have in fighting a lot.

I’m autistic, high functioning (I have a relatively high IQ), it isn’t particularly noticeable with day to day interactions aside from the fact that I tend to speak in a very formal way and I take things literally… And that I tend to keep to myself, most people my age just think I’m a smartass, emo or intimidating and therefore don’t like me, none of which are true in the slightest

You are definitely amazing. I spoke with an autistic guy high functioning too. Not saying you are all alike. He was so articulate and I loved how he understood things from his point of view.
I missed talking to him. I worked for an office and took a disability application from him.
I had an idea especially how well you tend to excel in this area. My son was non-verbal for the first 5 years of his life. He is very anti-social and when we force interaction he is awkward which is to be expected. But he has made leaps and bounds progress over the years.
That is one more reason why you should be proud of yourself.
