Guaranteed that manager has had a toddler. You either get used to handling unreasonable anger or develop anger issues of your own
That reminds me. I ordered Uber eats and the driver, a black girl, drives up and it’s hysterical. She’s telling me how her last delivery was a racist PoS, threatened cops on her, and she’s so sorry about my order but angry about the situation. I’m just standing there hungry for my food.
We sat on the porch and I let her calm down, then I dont know why, but I asked if she wanted a hug. She was taken back but she agreed, and it was a super weird hug. But she felt better I think. I dunno.
I just had a mental image of an awkward hug while shoving french fries into your face over her shoulder and fuckin lost it.
This is also how you handle psych patients …and psychiatric workers …and Healthcare administrators. I started getting much better work reviews when I started treating my boss how I treat my patients. It turns out just fundamentally expecting pretty much everyone to behave wildly irrationally with no warning is shockingly accurate.
Heartbreakingly accurate assessment of humanity
Arousal cycles (The mental health kind, not the sex kind) are absolutely useful info to use, not just on low functioning individuals, but on everyone to a degree (ONCE AGAIN, NOT THE SEX KIND)
wow this would sound really bad if someone removed the parenthesis…
Hence why I added them xD
Resonate this super hard, and I’m in the second camp.
Everything seems to set me off at home. I just want to rage against everyone and it’s fucking shameful.
Sometimes it’s just as simple as changing your perspective a little.
My uncle has pretty bad anger issues. Almost every workday he’d have to drive downtown, usually when the traffic was the worst (and he hated downtown driving to begin with), and he’d get super stressed and rage about it. He’d try to make it so he didn’t have to go downtown, but almost without fail something would come up and he’d be stuck doing it.
He told me he realized it wasn’t healthy, so he tried fixing it by changing it from thinking of it as ‘goddamnit I have to drive downtown again after I tried so hard not to!’ to ‘oh well, have to do my daily downtown trip’. And then when he occasionally didn’t have to go downtown, it became sort of an extra bonus treat.
He was amazed at how much anger he lost, just with a small change in thinking.
So did she get a hug?
Asking the real question
WAAAAY better than the fantasies I see posted of revenge for someone’s behavior. It’s possible to be the bigger person and still not tolerate bad behavior.
What’s a home fries? Isn’t fries just short for french fries? I don’t speak american
I think home fries is when you cut the potato in cubes and wedges (the recipe says 1 inch chunks) and then fry them.
Depends on where you’re eating honestly. Some places call long flat fries home fries and other places call just like cubed fried potatoes home fries. Basically any fried potatoe shape that’s not shoestring French fries might be called “home fries”.
in Pennsylvania it’s grated or flaked potato pieces fried in a skillet, like only one coarseness step above hash brown
Actually that’s sexual assault. You can still ask if she’s okay without threatening her with sexual assault.
Asking for consent is now sexual assault?
Got it, so don’t ask first right?
What part of !asking! if they want a hug makes it sexual assault? What part of a hug is sexual???
This type of person probably thinks two guys hugging is gay. I’m straight but I’ll take a hug from anyone. I love hugs.
Excuse me, this comment it literally rape because it uses the word sexual and I wasn’t prepared. Please escort yourself to your local PD.
Hey! You dropped this 🧠
I’ve been looking for that for ages. Cheers.
Phenomenally stupid take.
It isn’t assault if you get permission first. WTF.
Hug = sexual
Asking = assault
Okay, buddy.
Maybe we should… hold hands
No no youre right. Too salacious.
Even if you count a hug as sexual assault, that wasn’t a threat like I’ll hug you if you don’t shut the fuck up, it was just an offer of a hug.
I love this site LoL. The people here are all the dumbest parts of Reddit, Tumblr and twitter rolled into one glowing repository of stupidity.
Certainly on the bigger instances. If you go off the beaten track a little bit you tend to fund the old small subreddit experience. You know all the ones that are about cats in trees or wood working.
Those niche subs aren’t worthwhile here yet. They’re just filled with losers who insist they’re 100% right about everything all the time or they’re losers with nothing better to do than sit online and troll.
Do you need a hug?
Potentially, A/S/L?
