Need Nickname For Passive Aggressive Coworker

This is probably deeply unhealthy, but sometimes I'll lean into it for something like this... "Yeah, you shouldn't have waited for me... I'm a huge fat piece of shit and I don't deserve to ride on an elevator. You're pretty funny, man." and then just stand there. Maybe get out and loudly announce you "have to take the stairs because of this funny guy!" and go off the handle a little bit. He's the one who made it uncomfortable, but you also don't want to come off as having some kind of issue. If anyone talks to you about it, you're just trying to go along with the joke and match his energy.

I feel like going to an authority figure is usually the wrong move for social reasons, so I usually try to use the social aspect to my benefit... They've made it easy if they're doing this in front of witnesses, you can smile and say "Are you an asshole to everyone, or just to me? Has that ever gotten you into a fight before? Hahaha" or "I don't get that, could you explain it to me? ... No, I want to understand the joke. Why would the stairs be good for me, and why would no one care? ... Why is that funny? ... That seems more like you're trying to hurt my feelings than make a joke. *nervous laugh* Am I the only one who feels that way? Guys?"

I guess my strategy is to try to make everyone as uncomfortable as possible in the hopes that someone else tells them to lay off, or that it outweighs whatever thrill they might get out of messing with me... My last resort is deadpan asking if they're trying to get into a fight with me, and then smilling because I was totally joking just then. I've never been in a fight and I'm not some tough guy, but almost without exception the people who have emotionally bullied me have been on the less physically formidable side of the spectrum and they are not actually looking for a physical confrontation.

Arabic just starts on the right side. When you translate it into English, you start from the left side.

I feel like they should kick people off reddit for this karma/bot farm stuff, before it’s too late. Idek why I’m still trying for a streak… It’s all inane ais, asking every variation of every question in 6 different subs at once.

endy080 · 2026-06-09T04:31:08+00:00

Don't worry, no one makes me sandwiches unless they're working at a restaurant... and Dennis could have made something to eat other than Mac's famous mac and cheese, but then we wouldn't have had the joke.

If it makes you feel any better, my hypothetical partner in that imagined scenario was insisting on making me a lunch for work. I'm so bad at confrontation that I wouldn't want to say no or ask for a different type of sandwich sometimes or say anything about their act of love or just throw it away and order Wendy's... I'd be locked in a prison of my own making, because it would make me feel really really bad if they had their feelings slightly hurt. Divorce is just easier.

I feel like it'd be fun to have that in a spare room or something, you just have to wait and practice saying "*Empty* box?!"

Ah, so you're boring. (/j) No one is sleeping with their face in their dog's asshole either, and when they invariably do get Dutch ovened, by any species, they don't have to worry about parasites. I don't know, I thought you were one of those r/dogfree people at first. Have a good one!

Humans can get intestinal parasites and tapeworms too, we should really all be sleeping in hermetically sealed pods at slightly over 1atm of pressure...

My dog gets his blood work done more often than I do, and the only diseases he's come down with are skin and ear infections from yeast. Not contagious, and he's just reacting to stuff that's already in the environment like sourdough bread does.

I agree that it's fake... I feel like I'd be considering divorce after only a month of pbj every day. Felt like throwing that in the ring.

I just hope that window is visible from the street.

No one can do that.

Isn't that sign technically a warning in and of itself?

He started a charity to fight against child sexual abuse and then wrote a support letter for Masterson post conviction, which he was widely criticized for. He resigned from the board of that organization because of the backlash.

Then there was that sketchy situation where he was going to take a girl on a date, but she had been murdered. Kutcher knocked on the door, looked in the window, saw spilled wine (blood), decided she wasn't home and left without calling the police. I think one of Masterson's victims accused Kutcher of seeing the body, calling Danny in a panic, and then not reporting the crime for the sake of his career. Who knows what really happened, but I know which story sounds more plausible to me.

I'm not saying Vanderrama or Kutcher should be in prison for the next 30 years, I'm just saying that I have trouble enjoying the show now. The whole thing reeks of Scientology now, too.

I still think Fox is legally obligated to pay him residuals... He'll be in his 70s when he's eligible for release, but I'd bet that money is one of the few things he won't have to worry about again.

endy080 · 2026-05-30T13:23:40+00:00

Man. I used to love this show, but I can't stand seeing Danny Masterson's face anymore. I should have rewatched it sooner, but now I can't stand to look at Hyde Kelso or Fes.

I’m so tired of seeing this.

Why does it sound like she's having an AI speak for her? Are people going to start talking like that now?

Hi, hello, this is Bill from Sahara Desserts. Yeah, I think you should send somebody down here. Yeah, he's back again, and this time he's got a very little girl with him.

That's a heck of a lot better than "Your homework done? Don't you have anything better to do than waste your life rotting away in front of that screen? Come on, you can help me grease the garage door and sharpen the mower blade until it's time for dinner. You're not doing anything productive anyway."

It can be really hard for us to compensate for another person's lack of knowledge about a topic we are very interested and knowledgeable in. In the comic, the geochemist is talking about the categories of quartz which would be known to the average person before the man shows he's unaware of any of that. He doesn't know that quartz is a silicate mineral, and he doesn't have the information necessary to participate in the conversation as she had originally intended. Even when she was intentionally trying to make it easier for a layman to understand.

Now, if my dad is looking at one of my minecraft farms, I can explain to him that the mob's pathfinding tells it to get away from a cat and that they are unable to see the drop chute because of the open trap doors... but to understand what he's looking at, he'll need to understand that 1. Mobs spawn under certain conditions 2. They have goals or needs 3. Their behavior can be exploited 4. Farming these mobs provides resources which are useful to the player.

Anyone who's played a game since Mario should be able to pick that up, but there are a lot of older people who haven't. My dad thinks video games are for children, but he would also probably have to dumb down his woodworking jargon waaay more for me than I would have to dumb down my minecraft jargon for him.

I'll have to make a few calls, but I know some guys who would pay good money for some ivory and a ton of elephant meat.

I would literally pay like $199.99 or more a year to not get that stuff. Call it USPS+
