[Closed] Just lost it...

Get a grip.

Does he have an opinion on call girls?

Ask him if he thinks they ride 29ers or 650b.

What does the store manager think?

I hope you threatened him with a good bumming

... with the security guard. He's of the opinion that gay people are filthy and spread diseases and "aren't natural".

Tell him about the [url= http://www.theguardian.com/education/2005/mar/08/highereducation.research ]Mallard.[/url]

I thought this thread was going to be about The Game.

Chill your beans batty

With you on this one Woppit. It's not nice to be driven to rage, especially by ****s, you have my sympathies.

Think I need a holiday.

Did you have a child in a shopping trolley?

I thought this thread was going to be about The Game.

Aargh. I hate you 😆

How did your wrath manifest itself on this poor security guard?

How did your wrath manifest itself on this poor security guard?

I was going to ask, did you kill him or just give him a good maiming?

Think I need a holiday.

I hear Tunbridge Wells is nice...

I imagine Woppit did smite him verily

may the lord give you strength

EDIT:

I thought this thread was going to be about The Game.

😆 I was on at least a 5 year streak you sod.

[i]I imagine Woppit did smite him verily [/i]

or just sneered at his hi-fi...

... with the security guard. He's of the opinion that gay people are filthy and spread diseases and "aren't natural". Likes using the term "Batty Boy".

First time I've lost my temper for more years than I can remember.

Trying to breathe....

Does not sound like the most professional way to behave on the security guards part what sort of situation was this?

Did you call him a pleb ?

Well done for challenging him though..

Most security guards aren't caring sharing types.

or maybe more apt

that Russell Brand's let himself go a bit.

Just had a chat with a colleague who recommended a pub for me and my family to visit while on holiday in Devon. The only problem? "It's run by a pair of poofs" apparently 😀

Russell Brand's let himself go.

[edit] too slow, dagnabit!

comedy entertainment whilst at work on this forum every day. 😆

Something has, probably, happened.

I MUST tell the internet!

I thought this thread was going to be about The Game.

Dammit!

Couldn't help but think, amongst other examples, about emsz and her girlfriend getting attacked and spat at in the street.

I actually pointed and shouted. Very loudly. Told him his opinions were hateful ignorant and stupid.

As he's here every day in close proximity to my post room, it will be interesting to see how this affects the working day from here on in.

Oh, he said "but it wasn't about YOU, mate..." 🙄

fwiw, well done MrWoppit.

It's never easy to speak up in the work place.

"but it wasn't about YOU, mate..."

Are you suuuure ??

😉

[i]Trying to breathe.... [/i]

But you can still go on the internet and post about it. Interesting priorities.

Woppit, is your post room by the tradesman's entrance ?

Why does it make you angry? The guy is making a fool of himself and you end up loosing your shit? How does that work? Are you angry that you can't explain his stupidity to him? That he's not rational, let alone reasonable? It don't suppose it's too easy to tell somebody that they're being irrational when you yourself are boss-eyed with rage. Have a word with yourself and start again...

I appreciate it. I have been punched in the face and spat at for being a lady-loving lady, so it makes me angry too. So thanks. People who have not felt the receiving end of this which can range from "banter" to violence may not understand.

so you work in the male room...BOOM BOOM

Ah well, bike ride home might calm me down. Later.

God will be his judge.

God will be his judge?

What about the 17 year old he yells abuse at and who is not strong enough to deal with it and does something stupid? Who will help him? Woppit may have gone about it wrong, but he may also have opened someone's eyes to what they are doing and the fact that behaviour has consequences.

The guy is making a fool of himself and you end up loosing your shit?

Because.. after all the talk on here that we 'choose to be offended by something' - this just goes to show that's not how it always is. Some stuff is just so shit it gets you upset. In this case, the fact that such arseholes exist has upset Woppit - and rightly so.

What about the 17 year old...

It's an in-joke sazter, as were the other religious references.
Mr Woppit is our resident evangelical atheist. Well.. the most vocal anyway.

TBH I can understand why Woppit got upset.

... with the security guard. He's of the opinion that gay people are filthy and spread diseases and "aren't natural". Likes using the term "Batty Boy"

Did you also tell him not to sit in the shopping trolley, if he is a real security guard report him to the SIA the security industry governing body and your management, find his home address and send copies of Gay times to him or Attidude, also ask his opinion of cucumber, tofu and Banana.
But most of all calm down dear,and ignore the ignorant self opinionated prick.

Don't ignore - challenging homophobic, racist or sexist attitudes is the right thing, even if very tough to do.

Very proud of a colleague who told a minicab driver "You've just lost any tip for that attitude" after he whinged about a parking attendant at Heathrow who in his words had "come over here on a boat last week and thinks he can tell me where to park"

Woppit may have gone about it wrong, but he may also have opened someone's eyes to what they are doing and the fact that behaviour has consequences.

The OP may have had more success had he challenged his opinion in a more constructive way.

I may be jumping to conclusions, but with frequent use of a term like 'batty boy', would our friendly security guard be of the, ahem, Jamaican variety?

In which case, Woppit, I am disgusted by your lack of tolerance and sensitivity for his cultural beliefs

You racist!

Some stuff is just so shit it gets you upset. In this case, the fact that such arseholes exist has upset Woppit - and rightly so.

Indeed, but as Johndoh points out, due to his 'losing it' it's doubtful as to whether it had any beneficial impact on the security guard.

Those congratulating Woppit are wrong. It's cool to be angry but it's uncool to be aggressive. Shouting in an uncontrollable fashion is an aggressive act.

If you were offended then dont ever apply for a job at our place...

Very proud of a colleague who told a minicab driver

He found a minicab driver who [i]hadn't[/i] arrived on a boat last week? Wow!

😉

Your doing it wrong mrwoppit.
Explain that homophobia is normally a sympton of repressed homosexuality. Then explain that the louder they shout or swear about not being a #*;;' #++!£- etc, the more it shows they want a big cock in their arse.
