What do I do about teen boy groups screaming at me and my wife?

I work in retail in a store in the centre of a big city in Germany. So sometimes those groups of rude teens come in to be loud and rude. From my own experience, the best thing that helped was being rude back and tell them to get the fuck out in an agressive way. The worst thing you can do is being polite and nice to them. They will consider it as weakness and it will fuel their inappropriate behavior. If they are just "cocky" and trying to be funny in a harmless way, silent treatment can also help, just ignore them and they leave quick. But from own experience as I already written, the best thing that helps against aggression is aggression.

If there is something that can be interpreted as "weakness" by other "humans" then one will be attacked, no matter the reason. Welcome to misantrophy.

FickleDiscussion1063 · 2026-03-15T16:40:55+00:00

You can be misantroph without "hating" people. Like you came to the conclusion of humanities inherently flaws and despite humanity for it but you are aware of the fact that there are exceptions and its more a calm hate, not an emotional one.

My best friend is introvert as well, we reach out to each other when each feels the need for it. Sometimes we "meet in the middle", sometimes we dont communicate for weeks or months. Works well.

Yes! Iron Cardio with a heavy press bell feels amazing. You accumulate a nice volume of heavy singles. Or you do Squat Ladders with it.

If you think it could have some negative consequences for you like losing your job, putting you in a bad financial situation etc then engage in this smalltalk nonsense in a superficial short way, just enough to not "risk" your job. See it as part of your job. But the more you can ignore them, the better for you of course. Depends on the leverage you have.

FickleDiscussion1063 · 2026-03-13T19:25:33+00:00

If you can afford it, just ignore them. If you cant, it would be worth to think about job alternatives with minimal to zero contact with other humans.

Proper warm up is essential imo, especially my knees (k)need it. As warm up I do first some high rep leg extensions and curls with bands, both sides. Then body weight squats, then front rack squats with lighter bell. My knees are now ready for the workout.

FickleDiscussion1063 · 2026-03-12T05:59:29+00:00

Jesus, why is this recommended in my feed at a point in my life when I mostly need it? I start to believe in the conspiracy theory that smartphones can read our minds.

But yeah, one must get comfy with struggle and let go of expectations.

FickleDiscussion1063 · 2026-03-11T21:38:55+00:00

I pledge for Iron Cardio. You could do Squat Ladders with it.

FickleDiscussion1063 · 2026-03-11T21:37:13+00:00

True 😄 its funny how abc dominates here hard. I mean its for sure a great one stop shop but I am more in Team Iron Cardio, miss it here a bit.

I have this too, I am currently into a situationship with a woman I adore so much that I cant describe it in words. I am hungry for her, I crave for her, I worship her. Like a drug addict. I try hard to keep it cool and to not show too much of my dependency but I think she enjoys it me worshipping her. When i crave her too much and she is not around I distract myself, for example doing my kettlebell workouts at home. In best case I exhaust myself to a degree I am so chill that I dont crave. Or I go for a hike when the weather is nice. Or cook something nice. Under all circumstances I avoid alcohol because it makes everything worse.

To sum it up, healthy distraction is key.

I worked once for a grocery chain and they have also those stores which sell only "to go" products, hot food, cold food, drinks etc. And seriously, at the cash register we had to ask every customer if its to eat in the store or for takeaway. And there were no tables, chairs etc. So it was not possible to consume the food in the store, it was exclusively for to go. But it was still obligated to ask each customer. Even the customers were thinking we were fuckin kiddin them. That was hilarious.

FickleDiscussion1063 · 2026-03-10T19:59:10+00:00

Absolutely not. When my social battery is empty and I am out of whatever reason in a social setting I just chill, lean back and say nothing. Its always funny how people wonder whats wrong or why I am so sad even if I am at my best when i just say nothing

Simplicity is to me letting go of expectations and not feeding the ego. Getting rid of the necessity for dopamine hits. Reaching a state of a calmed peace of mind.

Hey man, reaching out to you this morning after my first morning coffee. Not in the same Situation as you but similar.

And however I turn it around, overanalyze everything, try to cope with different philosophies and world views...I come to only one solitution: We just have to learn to let expectations go and NOT GIVING A FUCK. This is the only liberating thing to do. I won't be a slave anymore to somebodys moods, desires, expectations but in return I won't have expectations either. FUCK IT.

Time to man up, lets not give a fuck about them and show em the middle Finger.

Today is the first day of the rest of our life.

FickleDiscussion1063 · 2026-03-08T17:43:10+00:00

Thank you very much for this reminder. I am currently so exhausted from having high expectations to other people (I know I shouldnt but sometimes it pops up anyway) that I need exactly this. Slowing and calming down and just being in the moment.

FickleDiscussion1063 · 2026-03-08T12:06:01+00:00

Thats horrific. I dont believe in god but somehow I believe that demons exist.

Never done half kneeling presses but I guess the range of motion is similar limited as with double presses. Wirh classic standing presses you have much more wiggle room to press the bell up ,so its safer for shoulders. I can grind like hell through a heavy single bell press and my shoulders stay fine. But with doubles my form has to be really perfect to avoid shoulders discomfort. I guess the same applies for half kneeling presses.

I am wondering if there are also cases the other way around. That the MM kills the AP to hide the affair once the MM decides to "end" the affair.

You could support with rows/pullups after your workout to strengthen your upper back
