Aardvark wanted more threads, so here's an idea! A VENT thread! Post your aggressions, about your poo poo job, your lovely house or community and so on! Let's keep it clean, no racism and all the other bullshit. I humbly request, as OP, that we keep this poo poo as nonpolarizing as possible. If you've had the displeasure of reading my other posts, going fully left or right on people has really been pissing me the gently caress off lately and I wanna talk about it, but not in this thread. So if you got a stupid rear end in a top hat that you work with that you want to say mean poo poo about you, your job is run by a bunch of animals, talk about it here! Is your child becoming addicted to tik tok! Post about it here! Do you loving hate that chump Daryl whom all the chicks like but they dont like you? Post about it here! Sick and tired of commercials? Post about it here!!!! We might have to just rule out covid related anything, for fear of polarization, but we'll see. Try and stay away from the subject if you can. Bitch alllllll you want, daddy's listenin' I'll start. I'd like to talk about interpersonal communication and the role of body language. I got this MOTHERFUCKER of a guy that I work with, that I just absolutely cannot deal with. Yea sure, he's nice, polite, has some similar interests maybe.... at first, but buckle up motherfucker. This guy is the kind of guy that slowly and quietly walks up behind you, in a loud environment, and wants to talk to you, but just... hesitates. So now, having witnessed this movement in my peripheral vision, am FORCED to acknowledge your presence. " Oh HEY man! Whats goinnnn onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn?". *makes pistol motions at u* I am clearly very busy, typing up a report on whatever vehicle I am diagnosis, dragging VIN numbers from one window to the other, tracing wire diagrams, you know, CLEARLY loving OCUPADO AMIGO! "SO, did you hear that so and so didn't show up today?" he asks. "No, I don't care what this person does, ever." I reply. "Yea but I mean WE are expected to be here right? He just can't be not coming in all the time!" he continues. I drop my pen and turn around from my work station, "So tell me, what effect does this have on you?" I ask. "Well, I mean, ya know, like I don't really care I'm just saying." At this point, my vision is white, my pulse can be felt in my temple, but I need to ease up for my own sake. "Ok!" I say, and turn away from him and start back on what I was trying to work on. At this point, I can FEEL him trying to come up with a reply, but falling short. He's turning a little red, forehead getting a bit shiny. I know what he's doing. He's trying to strike up anger or disappointment, trying to rally me to his cause. More than likely, he's just trying to make a friend. My heart aches yes, but god drat dude, take a hint! Thankfully, he very slowly shuffles away, trying and failing, to come up with a clap back. I know I probably sound like a callous dick, but I promise I'm not. I swear to you, there's this type of person, and I can only think of two, that just RUBS ME WRONG AT ALL TIMES. This poor guy has definitely got something going on. About a month into his tenure the job got a bit too much for him, and he started to get distressed before lunch one day and said something with his heart was up. I missed these events, but was given a transcript. Turned out to be nothing, probably a panic attack. Sadly I have several 60 plus guys on my team that act like they've never heard of a panic attack. I don't bother with the explanation, just a sigh and a casual about face when this comes up. The following week, sad guy comes straight to me at 6:05am after the brief morning go-team. I'm not ready, please find someone else, no, ok, ok, I got this, I can do this. Just breath. "Hey BROOOOOO I see you grabbed that Mercedes I was diagnosing so let me tell you....." (I'll keep this short, but basically he walked me through how 5 different people bumblefucked around figuring out why the battery in this car keeps dying, but effectively is using FAR too many words to tell me, and I already know, I gotta start from the bottom and ignore all of the (likely faulty) info he's giving me. I go, "gently caress it man save your breath, I'm just gonna start fresh on the car." "Oh, uh, ok then." and walks away. Then, another coworker comes up for the usual 2 min recap of the last 12 hours since I last saw him(FFS), but, because he's not a complete lost cause, we have a light hearted conversation about whateverthefuck. Well poo poo for brains watched that whole latter conversation, and became very upset. He immediately comes back and goes" HEY, MAN! How come it's all chaos and frustration with me but when you talk to HIM it's all happy go lucky, huh?!" Well happy-go-lucky says , "imjustaneasypersontodealwith,kbye" and bails on me. I honestly was heavily taken aback someone could make themselves so terribly vulnerable with a question like that. Naively, I asked him if he was ok, and wasted the next 45 mins talking him off the ledge, recommending he speak to someone professionally, or something, but like dude ya gotta relax. Unfortunately this, in his mind, bonded us together as friends. Now, I have a white hot ball of person I loving hate, constantly wondering where I am and what I'm doing. Guys, no one else does this with me. I dont want to be mean to the clearly, not very highly functioning person, but I also feel like brute force is needed, and I've let him in too much out the gate. Sooner or later, probably this week, I'm gonna have to give him the "I dont want to be your friend ok?" speech. My body language is VERY indicative of "I'm busy, please come back in a few", but this gently caress doesn't seem to get that. Also, to add icing to the cake, this is a childless adult, who bragged about a 2 year SPICE/K2 binge where everything was a dream, who has a rockabilly haircut and regularly does rockabilly car shows, who also goes with his childless wife multiple times a year to "Disney". I gotta tell ya guys, I feel a lot better typing that out. I hope you all can do the same! As an apertif, I'm gonna practice my concert baritone and then spend some time with the fam, and I'll check back later. OR probe me who fuckin cares!!!!

What's even less unrealistic and infuriating is how it's portrayed as people just having a few laying around and can just pop one, without having to do the same the next day and so on.
