For whatever reason, I have not made it clear enough to co-workers that I am not into lame, crude, toilet humor, even in casual discussion. I have class.
With this in mind, an associate of mine came in to discuss the weekend, detailing drinking and his costume dressed as a bear that is a pedophile (news to me). This is something they finds HILARIOUS and I find painfully juvenile. Not surprisingly, the conversation moves to vaginas, dildos, and men faking orgasms- ew buoy. As I am explaining that not only is this something I don't want to talk about, it turns into an argument I should have walked away from but I grabbed the bait like a chump and I am accused of a) "I've probably had more sex than you" and b) "this makes me more experienced, where you, having had less sex, would not"
straight from their mouth to this board. So...when is it okay to punch them in the face?
-
I would make it known to your manager that you feel some of the things your coworkers talk about are inappropriate for the workplace. He/she would be hard pressed to disagree with you.
It's a symbolic punch in the face.

It's ok. Punch away!
-
nice one, angstrom. although, it has less to do with it being discussed at work (a fault in its own right) and more about who does this person think they are telling me ive undoubtedly had less sex than them and since this is true makes them more experienced.
dumb. stupid, dumb, dumb. and i took the bait so now im stewing in it.
stan: ive printed this out, taped it to the wall, and im taking my lunch now.

Struck a nerve, eh, Baron? You virgin.

Was it one of those cartoon bears in those toilet paper commercials?

If you want an honest answer, re: face punching, we need to know if you were accurately quoting the conversation there. Did you, perhaps, say "Well, I never..." and did he then reply "I'll say!"? If so, no, this is not official grounds for a face punching. But you would have legally opened yourself up to a pie in the face.

I was going to start a thread like this with basically the same subject heading. But my question was about some jackass at a bar bothering my girlfriend and my friend's girlfriend and asking if he could sit down with them, being told, well, "No", then sitting down anyway, then interjecting into all our conversations to talk about how he makes music and how we put major labels on a pedestal (!!!) and other retarded musician junky blather and bragging about how he's played with the mars volta and beck
(transcript:
HIM: Do you listen to the Mars Volta?
ME: No.
HIM: Do you listen to Air?
ME: No.
HIM: Do you listen to (his dumb band's name)
ME: I don't know DO I??!!?
and then finally pointing at my buddy's wife (who is very attractive and constantly getting this indignant and angry treatment from rejected and insecure drunks) and talking about what a bitch she is and I'm sitting next to this guy having to be like "Nothing you say has any value to anybody here" and then listening to him rail on about how he's 4th Generation Highland Park (which, for Jerseyites, is like bragging about being 4th Generation Totowa; an odd thing to be proud of, and seemingly impossible anyway when you actually think about how long four generations is, and the extremely low motivational current running through your family line that you wouldn't leave a fourth rate city after four generations), and how the very notion of not letting him sit wherever he wanted to in this, his own Highland Park, and in this bar where he has lots of friends, et cetry. Anyway, I didn't punch him in the face, but I was gearing up for it. We just left.
Anyway, I say just get them fired. Or report them, and then if they get lectured by your boss they may resent you, but at least they'll shut the fuck up about the sex stuff.
-
Maybe the conversation spun out of control and you're right to be mad at the end part, but being mad about a pedo bear costume? Lighten up, Halloween Scrooge!
-
you get it, JJ. and you should have punched that bar goon in the face.
todd: relax, nobody is pissed about a costume.
-
So, at what point would violence be appropriate in your mind?
-
never. but any insult is worth humoring myself with the thought of slugging them in the face.

You do know that the value of your existence can be measured by things other than bedpost notches, right? I have found that the best method of dealing with folks who make their present or past promiscuity into some sort of "achievement" and want to compare scorecards with you, is to completely and totally take an asexual stance (whether or not that is the case) and refuse to divulge any information at all about what you do or don't do between the sheets.
It's also kind of fun to sing the chorus of "Glory Days" by Springsteen over your coworker telling you 20 year old hookup stories for the fifth time this month.
-
If you hit the guy, it's your ass no matter what happens. So you need to settle on the classy response- the open-handed slap.
If you happen to have a glass of something, then even better- you throw the drink in his face. Nothing that man can say or do will get him out of that. Plus, it's nice and legal.
Rules for that-
1: No hot drink. Burns=lawsuit.
2: Nothing bottled. Trying to shake out a bottle of anything is embarrassing and will just kind of splash around, getting yourself wet as well. Plus, you've made the hand-job gesture. Now you're in deeper.
My ladyfriend and I have a pre-arranged rule: no fighting ever. The only loophole is if someone calls her the C-Word. Then if I do not fight him, I am a coward and will face an even more severe beating later.
That's my word.
C
-
yes yes, i understand this KTB. im convinced im more upset at the audacity of someone saying something so insanely irrelevant in the form of an insult. nonetheless, ive queued "Glory Days" for my next confrontation.
Spoony, we had a rule as well: "don't stop me from fighting just bail me out of jail"...works for some, not for many. best advice.
-
My advice is to punch out every single person who annoys you, everywhere you go, work being no exception. Eventually word will get out about what a badass you are and nobody will ever give you lip again.
If someone tries to call the cops while you are beating them up, rip the phone out of their hands and beat them with that. If the cops still show up anyhow, beat up the cops.
PROBLEMS SOLVED!
-
sold.
-
Do you secretly kind of have the hots for him?
-
no. i save those for you, angstrom.
-
Hey, it had to be asked! :)

OK, Iam, I think I found someone who's had less sex than you! So cheer up!

yeah, well a dirtbike accident when I was 13 pretty much assured that.
at least I still have my dignity, and a demo of acoustic guitar/ spoken word "Shame Poems" I composed.

I got punched in the face outside of a bar for a rockin' air guitar solo that wouldn't stop for anyone. Instead of punching back, I just soloed harder.

When someone texts me to let me know they emailed me.
Come on.

Come on.
i just did this! sure, its inappropriate but it has come down to dropping the hint "check your email because you wanted me to send you this track/video/link because i cant be on AOL IM all the time and you dont log into your hotmail account ever."

When television cooks repeatedly say "E. V. O. O." instead of the normal way - you're not saving enough time to justify constantly using this acronym, and it just makes you sound like an asshole.

Also, people who whine about television cooks, those guys're the worst. POW!

My girlfriend was returning home in our truck a few weeks ago, and when she turned into the laneway behind our street a man in an SUV was trying to exit. Since it's a narrow lane, there was a momentary stalemate and then my girlfriend kindly backed out onto the street and circled the block to re-enter.
When she got to the lane entrance again, the man in the SUV had parked, gotten out of his car and was waiting to tell her that she should learn to 'use [her] brain!' because rather than circling the block she could have just backed out, waited for him to leave and driven in again. He repeated the phrase 'use your brain' a few times before she drove on, speechless.
As a side note, this man's garage is located furthest in the lane, and he keeps the last 10 feet or so of PUBLIC SPACE cordoned off with a chain. When we had our first big snowstorm a few weeks ago, he used his snowblower to build a huge snowbank against our neighbor's garage door.

ew brother. he sounds like a real piece, crumbum.
a lady at work lets her 14-yr old niece bother people at the mall, telling them they "stepped in something" and then walking off, leaving them perplexed. its not my thing, but she's fourteen and its harmless. last weekend, she pulled this manuever on a stereotypical, big, burly guy and he followed them around the mall telling her she was acting like a child and whined, "she needs to stop telling people they stepped in something!"
at that point, punch the crybaby in the face.
