I honestly feel bad for Enzo. I'm autistic, and have pretty bad OCD myself (it's not nearly as bad as his though). I haven't become violent when something disrupts my patterns, schedule, etc. But if buttons were continuously pressed for me, I'd scream or have a complete meltdown and cried. People like that process everything differently. It's like 5x stronger with less of a mental filter than most people. It's something that you have to have a lot of therapy for. I hope the best for that guy.

[@NickyD-fd5xk]

Sounds like the guy bugging him deserved it. I'm glad enzo kicked his butt

[@vulpesinculta3238]

You don't tug on Superman's cape You don't spit into the wind You don't pull the mask off that ol' Lone Ranger And you don't mess around with Enzo

[@thegameplayer125]

as a fellow autistic with ocd myself, hearing enzo go through that hit me in the feels. while i wouldn't be violent, i would have definitely hurled insults and a lot of yelling to make the person back off. if the office staff tells you to stay away from the introvert, stay away from them considering you don't know what they will do if you disrupt their routines especially when it comes to somebody who they have little to no familiarity with

[@Rey_Palpatine]

As someone who also doesn't like being touched and having their personal space messed with, I felt second hand cringe at the part about the guy sitting on his desk and touching his head/hair. I don't think I'd give someone a thorough beating like that, but I'd probably still hit them just out of reflex if they suddenly did that to me

[@AF-hx4xz]

I have OCD and am hyper aggressive but super friendly if i’m not irritated

[@briandouglasahern7067]

As soon as you got the part where the obnoxious client started patting Enzo on the head, it made my blood boil. I have friends and family with various special needs, and it infuriates me when someone deliberately messes with a person with those concerns.

[@shawnbbunbbbybbb3942]

Yea I don’t get that either but the mandatory minimum sentence is 5 years and if the victim is under 18 and the perpetrator is not a family member the minimum sentence is 20 years in federal prison which means the least u can do is 80% so no less then 16 years so I have no idea how he only got 2. Also I think it’s crazy that he was the one that was mad when the father confronted him. If u say something like that about a guys teenager daughter and you’re able to walk out of his house u should be on your knees kissing his feet in gratitude. The fact that her father didn’t drag him out of the house by his balls is amazing but the fact that the perv actually thinks he’s the one that should be mad is absolutely insane

When I was 21, fresh out of college, I worked in an office and there was an older man who everyone loved, myself included. He was the "dad" of the office - and I spoke with his own 2 kids who were my age often. After about 6 months, he was on the phone one day with his brother. He asked me to come meet his brother and I happily agreed...until his brother asked about my looks, and they both started talking about my butt.. I was so embarrassed. This was in front of at least 4 other colleagues, and everyone was shocked. They had a whole conversation while I was just standing there about my butt. After many attempts to report (the HR rep kept leaving during our scheduled meeting) I finally went directly to the director of HR and asked to remain anonymous. I just asked that they request him to take his personal calls outside of the office due to the distraction cause I work a phone job and that they had mentioned something sexually inappropriate and it made me really uncomfortable. I wasn't even going into detail and i could tell they didn't want me to. Well, HR actually told him I asked this and he was cold to me and would tell other people he "got told on." HR sucks.

[@KatSpade1018]

I'm sorry that happened to you. If someone is willing to behave that way in front of other employees then I would be very concerned at what they may be capable of behind closed doors. Every job always tells you to report any inappropriate sexual behavior but most times if you do, You end getting fired and the other person gets no disciplinary action against them. Or they make your work life so miserable you're forced to quit. That's so ridiculous that ppl like that are given a free pass to violate someone. You did the right thing by going to HR, they were wrong for failing to protect you.

I was a server at Denny's once and we had two regulars who would come in late at night. Other than the cook, I was left alone w them. They threw quarters at my butt while I was turned around.

[@Langley_Ackerman19]

Yeah, being called fat is not a crime. You ate your way to being huge. Even Lizzo is working out now. People need to get over their feelings. Obesity will kill you in the immediate future. She could have used what the bully said to motivate her to make her health her priority but no, she tried to kill him. In my experience, fat women in the office are the bullies and meanies. They're just projecting their misery.

[@DesireesJoint]

The last story is hilarious 😂 I don’t understand why somebody would leave a bunch of acid gummy bears in the fridge at work, but I wonder if they knew that somebody was stealing & decided to mess with them. Make somebody lose their mind from tripping balls with no idea what’s going on? Ultimate payback 😂 I feel like that person saw all those shadow creatures & stuff due to the guilt of stealing everybody’s stuff. That bad trip was clearly necessary to break that cycle 😂

The one about the intern and the sexual harassment horrified me. I feel bad for these women who are victims of this and aren’t believed. They have to put up with it and shut up lest they get fired or reprimanded in some other way. I’m not surprised at the way HR reacted their job is to protect the company not the employees. I wish she could’ve sued that company.

Story 5 - Too many people find themselves trapped in a situation like this and feel like no one cares, no one understands, and no one wants to help. It happens too often. There is no easy answer. To those who are experiencing something like this, please take care of yourself first. There will always be another job, another apartment, and neither is worth suffering abuse. Do whatever you can to remove yourself from the situation; if you can't do so right away, document everything you possibly can. But, most importantly, know you are not alone and there are unfortunately so many who understand how you feel all too well. You are important, and no one can take away your worth, though many may try. You deserve to be surrounded by those who love you and support you. 💕 You are not alone.

Relating to the one with the disgusting men in NYC: Sadly, not even the police helps most women who have to deal with men like that. When it's literally their job. Many times, they won't even believe them. I personally have been raped by my old boss and the police did not believe me, saying that I most likely wanted it. Two other girls who worked with me in his night club, who were my friends at that time, and I were all 16 at the time. He was at least 40. And he had always been disgusting at work, but one night we made the mistake of going to his friends' apartment with him and another one of his friends after he told us there was a party. Two years later I was attacked by some guy who probably tried to rob me, he hurt me a lot physically and when the police was called by people who heard me screaming (thankfully!), I fell into an hour long loop of panic attacks because I thought nobody would believe me again. For some stupid reason this incident got classified as sexual violence and not an attempted robbery, so I actually had to deal with the same police officers again. And they again failed me, even though they had found the broken glasses right were I was attacked of a previously known drug addict who has robbed people in a very similar manner before. I have no hope when it comes to the police

FightTIPS, global martial arts university, and human weapon are excellent sources on KZbin to learn to fight. Jog regularly at the quickest, non suffocating pace. Do push ups, back exercises and curls. Athlean x is a good channel. Watch Dr Eric berg for tips on a healthy diet, as nutrition is vital for fitness. Spar at boxing gyms for experience. Then you should have the physique and skills to never experience that trauma again and cripple scumbags like them so they no longer keep hurting others.

One involves a man with a well known mental illness who acted very inappropriately in the moment while the other involved deliberate premeditated planning. What Enzo did was not okay but I don't have sympathy for Mark in that regard.

He did not die.

[@Paddy-if3nd]

@@glauvie She still had it in her to kill someone. She literally would have let him die and she did not show any care like she felt bad after. She flat out planned a murder that day.

[@Mr.andMrs.Smith_0420]

@@Paddy-if3nd Yeah she did, she even took his epipen out of his desk, what a nut job 😬

[@chopsandtoots]

@@glauvie So it's okay that she *tried* to kill someone....because they didn't die. Got it. Better throw out attempted murder as something to charge people with then.

[@Lwhale.3797]

“Mark had it coming” even though he almost died, and yet the guy in Story 3 didn’t deserve to almost die? Not saying you’re wrong, but 2nd story is presented from a neutral 3rd party observer who knew Enzo very well, while 3rd story is presented from the victim’s perspective. And also, I don’t think it was *just* the one insult to Angela that did him in. It was likely months of insults and harassment to her and others that the guy just left out.

Thank you for the bedtime stories 🐙

The lady in the first story needed to woman up and tell that dude off. Such a disappointment. Story 3: Dude's weakness is peanuts and he legit thought he could pull off being a bully 🤣🤣🤣.

Once again I had to listen again as fell asleep. Great narrative

The Angela story had me visualizing a whole ass The Office episode. Phyllis vs Dwight lmao!!

❤❤ I so can stay up all night and listen to your podcasts ❤❤ Thanks as I never would have thought I would prefer listening to you over watching TV!

The Buddy / Angela story is a prime example of what can happen when a sociopath ( Buddy ) butts heads with a psychopath ( Angela ).

story 6: Dude, no one is to blame for you almost burning up but you. You chose to isolate yourself. You chose the noise cancelling headphones. you chose to even put up a "little door". You chose to ignore the vibrations of everyone running to safety. You actually thought they were running to lunch? come on, man. Nobody is that out of touch with reality.

[@hayasheeeesh]

I'm actually not allowed to wear headphones at my job for reasons like this. Though I do have to wonder what country this is where the building doesn't have fire alarms. Usually those come with flashing lights so deaf people are also aware of any emergencies.

[@c.w.8200]

@@hayasheeeesh I hate fire alarms, I once got a brain injury similar to a concussion from a fire drill (I know, crazy but it can happen) and spent a week in the hospital but they are necessary for the actual fires I guess.

@@c.w.8200 How did that happen?

[@jtmaruyama9724]

@Josie Gipson why are you blaming him? he suspected nothing of the sorts that something was wrong, so of course he didn't leave because he didn't suspect he was in danger, nor was he ever made aware of things he should be concerned or wary about anything like that. Of course, blaming those other people is not okay, cause obviously it wasn't their fault because they didn't know he was there, but it of course makes sense why he felt like blaming them because he went through such a traumatic experience that, literally, nearly killed him and left him with serious physical, emotional, and psychological pain and damage and trauma, perhaps for the rest of his life, and because of that he must've felt betrayed and left behind. Just because he chose to stay doesn't mean he deserved to have an extremely traumatic experience, nor does it make it okay for you to shame him for not leaving because he didn't know his life would be in danger. For you to blame him completely invalidates and reduces his traumatic experience. I don't disagree with you saying that the other people aren't to blame (which, as he says, is able to come to terms is not their fault after healing) but to blame him is unacceptable because it completely ignores and minimizes his extremely traumatic experience. Please have some empathy.

[@alittleofsomething]

While I think the coworkers needed to check (their fault) and the guy shouldn't have gotten the headphones (his fault), I think he was supposed to go through that experience. Otherwise we'd hear a story of miraculous survival or not hear about it at all. Though he did survive a terrible burn and that's amazing.

[@LadyAstarionAncunin]

Parents: Are made aware of creepo coworker's s/xual interest in their underaged daughter. Creepo: Attempts to kidnap said daughter with rope, zip ties, duct tape, and over 100 photos of her in his car. Also Parents: "We don't know what he had planned that day." For FS! That annoys me more than "I didn't think anything of it."

Peanut guy, I bet whomever put the peanuts in his food, probably thought he’d see them & not eat them!! If the perpetrator wanted to kill him, they could have put peanut oil or something like that in the food. Also, he should carry his own epi pen. I do!

Idk what time period that new York story happened but if it was recent she should've took to social media. Started posting emails gatherering stories got copies of complaints and just let everyone have a field day lol. The last story kinda made me laugh ngl.

Must be late 90s or early 2000s is what I'm guessing.
