Theres this guy at my job who must not like me. When we first met he was nice enough, I guess just because he was the new guy. But he slowly became more and more bitter towards me and saying some shitty things. But it was almost like in a playful way, so I would say something shitty back in return and we'd kind of laugh it off.
Long story short, it's gotten worse. He says something that bothers me almost every time I see him which is usually twice daily when I'm at work. I always respond with some sort of comeback just to not be a bitch who takes shit. But I'm seriously getting tired of it and I feel like it's not going to stop.
I've considered threatening him and telling him I'll get physical if he keeps this up, which I would seriously love to hit this guy, but not sure that would be a good idea at my workplace.
Should I try talking to him somehow to try to get him to just shut up?? What do you guys think...
Take him out to the bar. Get him drunk. Rape his ass. He'll stop.

Next time he says something demeaning to him walk right up to him. Get in his space, look him right in the eyes than grab his nuts and twist hard.
Explain if he says something demeaning to you again next time you will rip them off.

He’s just bantering bro. Dish it in return, playfully, don’t be a cuck.
Lucas Gutierrez
Just stop playing along with it. That usually only feeds the problem. Tell him straight up you don't like his vibe and to stop coming at you on that energy. I almost had to do this once but the dude must have clued in because it never got to that point. We just leave each other alone now.
Chase Bailey
I had a guy who was kind of like that while he was training me. I told him I don’t like being talked to like that And he was like bro I don’t have to train you I don’t need to be here And I was like no I appreciate you training me it’s good I just want you to be respectful Later he apologized

nigga, this dude at your work got coerciated to hate you, if he was new he had no reason to hate on someone and risk being pointed by the rest, someone there besides him hates your ass and mindwashed this new wagie to do it, probs someone with more social status or hierarchy than you, think nigga think

Confront him in private. depending on who you are you could confront him in front of other co-workers, and tell him how you feel. If he keeps it up you have witnesses that you tried to talk to him. which frees you up to say or act how you'd like. within reason ofc, don't destroy him or sperg out or anything.
Nathan Nelson
>Confront him in private. This, confront him outside of the usual work environment. Even giving him a phone call in the off hours and confronting him about it could work. What exactly does he say?
Parker Perry
you got two options. both are gonna lead to blowback but you have no choice because the only alternative is quitting.
>Option A: "Line in the Sand"
this is old-school and only works if the guy isn't a nigger or a complete turd. as soon as the guy says some disrespectful shit, walk up to him, look him in the eye, and say the following:
"Hey, I've been meaning to talk to you about this. The stuff that you're saying to me is weird. I like you, but don't ever talk to me that way again."
then just stare at him and wait for his response. if he's not a turd or a nigger, this will go two ways. he'll either give some halfhearted apology or he'll gaslight you.
the apologist type actually feels some level of embarrassment and may come around. the gaslighter type is a sociopath who must be avoided at all costs. this is where the next option comes in.
>Option B: "Domination"
only use this when dealing with a gaslighter or obvious shithead who isn't mature enough to be reasonable. people like that are barely conscious and will not listen to you. you are prey to them.
only way to deal with people like that without going to HR is to verbally dominate them. this is hard because you have to be quick with your remarks and very aggressive. insulting people without provocation also does not come naturally to you.
the idea here is to give the guy so much shit that you wound him psychologically and create a negative feedback loop. remember that sociopaths only respond to pain. you gotta make him bleed in order to get the target off your back.
Robert Flores
based. Duel anyone.
Juan Sanchez
and let's not forget your fallback plan
>Option C: "Appeal to Authority"
this option never works. you keep records of what the guy says, write up a report, and send it to HR so they can take action. investigations follow but the guy is quick with his mouth so he always weasels out of getting fired.
now you got an even bigger target on your back. the victim continues to get victimized. life is cruel and unfair.
the only way to get this option to work is if you have overwhelming evidence of the guy doing something illegal or grossly negligent on company time. HR rarely cares about personnel issues unless a woman is involved or someone is exposing the company to litigation. think about that before you run this problem up the administrative flagpole.
David Johnson
>Exposing the company to litigation Oh like a harassment suit? If you log all interactions with HR and they're literally doing nothing to help you you can certainly bring these records before an attorney. it's 2022, everyone can be harassed

I wish you could still get away with beating the shit out of that kind of person. Old people tell me when they were young you could just give the guy a beating to make it stop. Now you have physically weak little pricks talking shit constantly to bigguys4u because they know the bigguy4u won’t risk an assault charge. I blame the feminization of society and therefore as usual I blame Jews.
Andrew Hill
hardly ever works that way and even then you gotta pay for the lawyer and waste years of your life guiding the case through the courts. you don't wanna end up on the stand getting cross-examined by some jew lawyer who wants to paint you as an antisocial weirdo, either. lots of ass pain for minimal gain.
