People that use the word toxic to describe things that aren’t toxic can fuck off as well.
Try shovelling radioactive shit off the roof of Chernobyl before you start whingeing on about toxic working environments, bellends.
It’s not a toxic working environment, you’re just a twat and none of your colleagues like you.
fucking britney.
if you’re so tired of being a flight attendant just go back to the chick’n strip.
. Some real assholes around here. I love it. Must have been born before toxic or safe spaces were a thing. Could probably sit through and laugh hysterically at Richard Pryor, Carlin or Patrice O’Neal without getting offended.
I want to complain about this but I don’t have the right words so someone else give it a go.
Fuck TMZ.
Someone watched the documentary lately!
sounds like the name of some crapcakes interview format PBS talkshow
That’s my podcast! Crab cakes interviews!
Or shit indie band
one where the album is self-titled and the cover art features some obnoxious flamboyant cursive lettering and an abstract black and white photo they found at the thrift shop.
That’s possibly over here: The intoxicated hangout
Gee thanks. It was worth the visit for this comment alone….
There is currently a alt-right conspiracy theory laden conservative community group, that seems like it’s probably also a pyramid scheme, holding a meeting in the library’s meeting room right now. It just feels like such a lose-lose situation, the library is supposed to be for everyone, even far right wingnuts, and I really believe in that mission, but literally half of the staff of the library I work in is queer, so having a group using the services we are providing to spread hate about people like us stings a bit. Nothing I can do about it, and nothing I would do about it if I could, just a thing.
Sorry for bringing serious shit into the silly whingeing thread but sometimes hurling these things into the void is the best option.
Don’t let other peoples nonsense ruin your day! Sounds like a them problem!
If you’re able, try and focus on the fact that you’ll be there tomorrow, but they won’t. Letting it affect your day or how you handle your day could impact tomorrow and the day after, long after they’re gone. It’s really a bummer that freedom of speech and equal rights to jerks is a 2 way street, but hang in there.
Mate, Australia just had a referendum, to recognise 1st nations people in the constitution, and to give them a voice in parliment. ( just a voice, not political power)
It was a yes/no vote. More than half the country voted No.
Such a shame to know you’re surrounded by such people.
(I voted yes)
100%!!
Definitely an easier some days than others thing, but yeah this is what I try to do when this stuff pops up, I got plenty, good and bad, to distract me from this nonsense before long.
That is truly upsetting, I’m sorry to hear it.
Thanks for the responses ya’ll. This isn’t gonna drag my day down or anything, and it’s not even the worst example of this sort of thing happening in my place of work, but sometimes you just gotta rant about it a little. There is a really special cognitive dissonance to people using the free social service that is a library, to promote ideologies that don’t want to fund any kind of free social services.
Take it as an indication that their ideology is so outwardly offensive no one will back them financially, thus their only option is to resort to further hypocrisy in utilizing the very public services they’d like to remove. Perhaps it’s easier to think of it as a joke, like a car driving on 4 flat tires to save money on a tow, not even aware they’re doing irreparable damage to their own vehicle in the process.
The one thing you can always rely on in life.
Whenever I think I live in a dreadful country surrounded by arseholes I just pop a bit of Australian news on, then feel a bit better that I don’t live there anymore.
Fucking Jesus Christ’s arsehole these fuckers are an horrible bunch.
As for the old Ku Klux reading club, show them all the love they probably don’t deserve. Cunts like that know what to do with hostility, they can’t handle love.
Truth!!
Kill them with kindness is what I always say!!
