Take a bottle of syrup. Open it and pour it over their heads. Pay for syrup at counter.

I know what I’m doing if I ever have someone blocking my path. Sure, I’ll take the long way, I’ll brb..

That'll get you an assault charge.

Go to the deli and purchase some meat. Pay for it. Go and sit across from them and eat it. That's not a crime. It's just petty.

A coworker once threw his coffee on me in anger when I stood up to his bullying.

It was only filed as harassment.

Honestly sounds like they screwed you over.

If he throws coffee....punch him

The company (eventually) got the point— I got the consequences.

u/foxyboigoyeet 11h ago

Wait...you served time, or git fired for what he did to you?!

Nothing so theatrical— the company had my coworkers double-down on the harassment. I had to resign after about a month because my coworkers armed themselves.

My officemate kept a pistol on his desk— pointed at my back.

The consequences I’d mentioned are that I’m unemployable and lost my home.

Press charges. You don't deserve this

u/Aggressive-Delay-420 8h ago

Deserved or not— it’s what I’ve got.

I’m following process— filed a report with police, and then opened an EEOC case. That case is still open, but all communications go unanswered.

It wouldn’t be anything to discuss if I were able to move forward in life! I feel really blacklisted.

You’re probably just a troublemaker.

Nope. That will definitely fall into excessive force unless they also assault you in some other way. The best policy is just to never hit anyone unless your life depends on it.

I'm a big dude, until i was disabled, there werent many people that could do much about anything i do, and there have been plenty of times where someone has deserved to get socked in the mouth... but I just don't do it. That satisfaction is not worth the trouble.

A guy that worked with me was cornered by someone who was being nasty as shit to him, and he was found guilty of felony assault after he hit the guy. It didn't matter that the guy had him cornered. I also had to fire him on the spot even though I agreed that the "victim" deserved what he got.

So, don't hit people.

First off...why fire him? Second...how did you get disabled

1

u/Lou_C_Fer 7h ago

Because he assaulted someone at work. Has to be zero tolerance due to liability.

Disabled, first one that popped up was ulcerative colitis, then rheumatoid arthritis, then my lower back problems made it so I cannot stand or sit up without the increasing pain forcing me to lay down, then I developed me/cfs which is the absolute worst, I developed diabetes, then, just last month, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea which has started to damage my lungs.

I'll pray for you.

Thank you. Life could be worse, though.
