Breh I would have pretended cried.
gotta stop that crying, pretend crying shyt.
I went off on someone I worked with at another job in 2014 or so. Dude was talking sly saying some wild shyt. Some shyt that was borderline racial.
I told him what was the equivalent of "calm down" and I gave him and interdepartment task to do and he started barking.
I stood up and I barked at him "you're going to watch your mouth around me, I'm not your fukking wife and we're not your fukking family, if you want to talk loud and run your fukking mouth you can go home, because you're not running shyt around here."
Male staff stepped in and made sure things didn't escalate to physical contact. Kept us separate. He didn't do nothing but continue yelling "he's not going to tell me what to do! He's not gonna sit there talk about my family!"
Why that made him so angry was because he's had some domestic incidents at his house and because we are government anytime we have contact with law enforcement it's a whole ordeal. We gotta sit down with our department heads and the union and have a meeting. And of course everyone knows about it.
Hell I got a warning for speeding and had to go to a meeting.
That dude ended up leaving on his own accord after he switched hours so we wouldn't cross paths. Just talk that shyt back to them and give them all the rope they want to hang themselves. They'll publicly expose themselves and when they make a big enough fool of themselves and there witnesses all you have to do when you have your meeting with hr or whatever is say "well xxx and xxx were watching, he was saying xxxxxx, and I said xxxxx then he just went off." Then they pull in xxx and xxx and ask their sides of the story and at the end of the day there's some shyt thats just inexcusable.
