I understand that the broken people of the world are largely responsible for the tragedy of the commons, but naked men joining online classes full of school children really does go beyond the pale. And I mean really? You zoombomb a class full of little black kids to scream the n-word at them?
Do people like this have nothing better to do with their lives than making the world a terrible place for everyone else? This is getting ridiculous.
- 0_gravitas 7y agoSorry if this sounds fatalistic/cynical, but surprise surprise, people are terrible! I often hear people say that there are more good people than bad in the world, and that the bad are often over-represented: that's just wishful thinking. I held a retail job for a little over 3 years before escaping, in quite a well-off town, which was known for being "such a nice place". It would be excessively generous to say that 20% of the people that would come through our doors were decent human beings; even now I can still remember the faces of all of the "good" customers because they were so few and far between that encountering them was almost a shock. A majority of our customers were bitter, rude, cruel, and painfully indignant and self-unaware.
- zdragnar 7y agoWorking retail, especially clothing, seems to be one of the easiest ways to become disillusioned with humanity. Nothing like picking up a pile of clothes in a changing room covered in feces to brighten up your day.
- 0_gravitas 7y agoOh yea I've heard plenty of horror stories with clothing shops too; I worked at a chain very similar to CVS, one of the smaller stores in the district but some of the highest foot-traffic. My only solace from and during those times was that many of the people that I worked with and met through there were truly amazing, and I remain great friends with most of them today--it's definitely an environment that can evoke a brothers-in-arms type of feel
- lostmsu 7y agoTo be fair, what do you expect a customer to do in case of an emergency of that kind? What would you do?
- 0_gravitas 7y agoTo literally deal with their own shit! At the very least pay for it and dispose of it yourself.
- lostmsu 7y agoI thought the law considers it to be store property. You don't ask your guests to pay if they accidentally break something in your house.
- 0_gravitas 7y ago> the law considers it to be store property So we can call it vandalism then. And I would certainly ask my guests for some reparations if they defecated on my clothes/floor and then walked out like nothing happened, and I certainly would not invite them back!
- lostmsu 7y agoVandalism would imply intention. If it is the case, you are absolutely right.
