I’m talking about like, service workers and store employees who are miserable and take their anger out on completely innocent people.

If you’re hot and dress nice would it make it less likely for you to be the target of those pieces of shit?

    He said, and I quote:

    “Unless you’re on either extreme end of the bell curve, or in some other way sticking out way more than you should, it’s strange to me that anyone would deal with being bullied.”

    Why would it be strange to him that anyone is getting bullied? It’s incredibly common especially in workplaces

    Where do you live if I may ask? I’m also curious to hear the other places where it’s more common. I’ve been looking into moving cause of the amount of bullying here unironically

      Because it’s not common everywhere. I’m sure it happens everywhere but it’s a lot more common in certain places and industries. That’s why it’s strange to them.

      Where do you live if I may ask?

      I currently live in friendly Belleville, Ontario, Canada, it’s a city of 50K. I was born in the UK, grew up in Australia, and have lived / spent a lot of time in a few other countries as well.

        Okay. Well I found workplace bullying common in the GTA. Not sure if it’s like that in smaller towns, but in day to day outside I pretty much never got treated poorly there. Customer service and grocery/store workers never bullied me.
