Lamb in the truck 🚚

A 75 yo man proudly came into the cafe wearing an Ultra Maga hat. I excused my barista from the register to handle the transaction.

"The hat is customizable," he said, struggling with the velcro patch on the front. "If I need it, I have an ICE one too. I pick based off the business i walk into."

"Customizable is an important hat descriptor," I said. "what can I get you?"

"You wouldn't believe how offended people get these days," he said. "And I'm supposed to do something about it if you're offended? You chose to be offended!"

"We all have hundreds of thousands of decisions everyday," I said. I thickened my accent. "That's what my stepdad always said. But I can make one easier - we have a delicious Ethiopian roast available."

"Like if I told you you have a bull ring," he said, "because bulls have rings in their noses. Is that offensive?"

I laughed. "I've heard that before."

"It's a joke, but people get offended. Maybe you're offended."

I looked at him. I smiled. "You aren't trying to offend me though, right?"

Of course he was. I was being friendly and the friendlier I was, the faster he switched topics. He was saying anything inflammatory he could think of to see if I'd take the bait. After about 20 minutes of my redirecting and deescalating, he settled into a more normal interaction. He took up too much of my time showing me a product I'd feigned mild interest in to get him to stop talking about getting accused of inappropriate behavior at work. When we finally disengaged, he spent 10 minutes trying to catch my eye again. When he failed, he left.

There's this new breed of customer who insists on trying to incite political conversation through their clothing and, when that doesnt work, their snide little comments. If I owned my own business, maybe I would have given the guy the fight he wanted. But I work for a corporation and I love paying my bills so I deescalated.

Anyone wearing that type of shit and preying on workers for their own spank bank material is a brainless fucking sheep.

something i want to mention because i’ve seen it growing as a trend online is that not only do people do this just for their own gratification, but watch for glasses. smart glasses are a growing segment of the consumer market, and creeps like this are harassing people in public in order to gather content without the victims being aware they’re being filmed

good job on how you handled it, op!

Gotta be green, gotta be mean, gotta be everything more

@aisereththeprince glad you asked!

The implications here is that abuse victims often reenact the dynamics of the abuse on other people, often as the perpetrator. It's a way to feel powerful and in control when you don't have either of those

Her choice of mean prank being to try and undress someone, and then criticizing his alternative for allowing consent shows that at some point she's learned that you can get stripped, and it will be deeply distressing, and there's nothing you can do about it. Unless a caregiver really messed up, this is usually not something a child will learn from getting bathed. While this can be a case of medical trauma, if I were to show that then I wouldn't have picked an action so closely related to portrayals of sex

This is not instructions though. Sometimes kids do just have opposable thumbs, boredom, and terrible creativity. There's a reason why people get training to spot and determine abuse in general and csa in particular, do your own research, consider nuance, ect

What if the remarkably high number of family connections and resemblances in the first two gens has an in-universe explanation that also explains why Blue and Silver's situations are Like That?

4x supereffective Aura Sphere would still reduce zigzagoon to a smear but like. There’s something hilarious about being immune to half your friend’s moveset when it can and did level buildings

It was the most fun I’ve ever had

Despite myself, I could never hate you for that

Too bad you love me
