>Do they realize they treat people like shit?

They literally don't. Just think of the mantra: treat others like you would want to be treated. They're essentially speaking a different language than you, and they don't realize it. They can't think outside of their own minds, so they assume you think the same way as they do.

This is what I've been thinking. People rarely think about their actions and how it may affect other people, but they get mad as fuck when you point this out and they don't understand.

>the new intern is the most beautiful girl I've seen in my life
>instantly fall in love
>brief exchanges with her increase my infatuation
>hatch brilliant plan
>bring to two apples to work one day
>ask if she wants to take an apple break
>(like a smoke break but for non smokers)
>she's actually into it
>lead her outside
>my boss is out there taking a legit smoke break
>he darts inside chuckling when he sees the sperg with the 10/10 qt
>she's kind enough to actually hold a conversation with me
>talking for ~3 minutes when a huge hunk of apple gets stuck in my throat
>I'm able to breathe but can't swallow
>decide to push through it; maybe it will go down
>it doesn't
>rush inside mid-sentence
>puke it up
>tfw it looks like I got nervous and ran inside to puke
>tfw I might have actually had a chance and my body physically prevented it
>tfw I was the subject of office gossip the rest of the week

Yep. There are ways to tell someone tactfully to stop doing something that's hurting you, and they might even stop, but they'll subconsciously think less of you for not just dealing with their shit. Such a catch 22.

>work nightshift
>just me and my music
>see the cool tradies in the morning
>have my fill of socialising via them
>even if they're normies, they're mostly nice and good people
>leave for home before the 9-5 normies show up
It's comfy.

Why didn't you just let her know you were choking. That would have been a good way to further the discussion, as long as you play it off and make her laugh

And yet no one has a problem making fun of me or treating me like ass. I hate this fucking planet sometimes

they literally don't think about their effect on other people. I used to be horrified by how my family and people in general were so selfish until I understood it's because they only see things from their perspective most of the time and don't care to put themselves in someone else's shoes.

I don't know man.... I was panicking because I wad simultaneously talking to my dream woman and choking so I just didn't think about it. I told her what happened the next day, but it was weird between us afterward. Hindsight's 20/20.

>>38757804
I'm sorry that happened man, but at least you explained to her what happened. Whatever happened beyond that is them just being douche bags

It's ok anon. It was shitty, but I've since moved on and I'm not working that job anymore. Thanks for being cool.
