    People made fun of me every day at work, including my manager. I literally did nothing; it was just straight-up bullying day in and day out. I had to endure that for about a year until I finally received unemployment because they shut down. When you have a 27-year-old man-child wannabe gangster bullying an 18-year-old, he somehow sees himself as tough. He’s one of those “I work harder than everyone else” and “nothing applies to me” types. It was just awful.

    This was a regular coworker, not my manager, but this coworker would even bully the manager, yet they would still cater to him day in and day out. I ended up getting really upset one day, because I found out my mother had a brain tumor, and he pointed his finger and laughed at me because I was crying after not being able to take their shit anymore. Didn’t go to HR and I fucking regret it.

      When I was 18 I got pulled over for failing to stop at a four way stop.

      The only thing is, the stop sign was right after you go over a hill to cross some railroad tracks. I had seen the police car behind me but kind of far, and I had a feeling he was going to try this so when I stopped, I stayed sat there for like two minutes (no other cars) so he could also go over the hill and see me.

      He took his sweet time to get to me, but by the time he did I was finally making my turn through the intersection. I explained that I’d stopped for 30 seconds (didn’t want it to sound too extreme) but that asshole still ticketed me.

    Force me to participate in a system where I gave myself burnout working enough to be allowed to be alive on a post scarcity continent

    The military promised to give me a job related to my degree, proceeded to then not do that, then denied me a higher degree both in my assigned job field and in my educational background because I lacked the background for the former and the job didn’t require the latter. And now I’m struggling to get back into my original background

    Was working at TK Max (TJ Max outside the UK) at the changing rooms as a part time job as a student. Supposed to be checking for defeated tags or people stealing.

    Some dude came in and then rushed out a few moments later, casting the clothes into a basket and leaving the shop. I went to go check for defeated security tags and it turned out he’d masturbated in there and cum all over the walls.

    Management showed no interest in pursuing the culprit and handed me a stack of paper towels. It occured to me that he’d probably been thinking about me cleaning it up when he cracked off, while I was cleaning it up. Pretty gross.

    Finished my shift, went to the manager and told them I quit. In hindsight should have just left the moment I realised what happened.

    Said I wasn’t good enough to get promoted.

    Turns out I’m above average. Career progression and salary set back a number of years as a result.

    Pissed on me. A couple of times, actually. To their defense, it was before they learned bladder control.
