amen. i got a shitty co worker fired. i complained about her multiple times, and so had aother people.
she would corner people in the breakroom and like brag about her sexual exploits loudly. it was sexual harassment. she's also do it over the phone at her cube. it was disgusting.
My life experience has show me people would rather scream and insult others than recognize and validate experiences and opinions that differ from theirs.
IME the women who do this are the one who are the predators.
so yeah, if a unhinged lady goes off on me how i'm a huge threat to her, i do fuck off, because she's probably a psycho. normal, well adjusting folks don't go off on random strangers minding their own business.
I hike all the time. Nobody says more than a polite hi, or a wave or nod. men and women, solo, or in groups.
Also, most folks are horrible judges of character and intention. Scumbags are usually the most charming, outgoing, and well-liked people, and yet most people think the awkward weirdo in the corner bothering nobody is the 'threat'.
I lived like a pauper from 18-33 trying to give myself a good financial baseline.
Most of my peers just made fun of me for being 'cheap' and saying no to expensive vacations, fancy cars, and living by myself.
Now I'm living by myself and comfortable and I can afford some luxuries, they are 'struggling' and all i hear is that it's 'because of your white male privilege'. F them. They grew up being greedy pigs and now they are paying the consequences and I'm living well.
I'm the only person I know in my 30s who has a decent retirement account. Most have nothing, a few have some, and there are a bunch who are banking on parental real estate to do it for them.
