As much as I agree with you, but breaking the law by speeding to get out of the way of someone who is already speeding isn’t always the best. This comes from someone who was pulled over for “racing” because I sort of cut someone off, so I gunned it to speed up and get out of their way.

No, never had had a scare. I just grew up. I am guilty of both lane blocking a tailgater and tailgating lane blockers. I could hide behind never being the instigator but that is just rationalizing stupidity.

Because moving out of the way is what that driver wants you to do. Not everyone is willing to submit to some impatient douche-nozzle's kindergarten demands. I don't advocate driving slow in front of people but I greatly dislike people driving too fast and having crowds move out of their way like they're royalty.

I gaurantee that the trucktard tailgated the Nissan to get the road rage ball rolling. I highly doubt the Z driver just decided to block the road. I have done the block move myself because I hate tailgaters with a raging incomprehensible level of irrational spite. I have outgrown fucking with tailgaters because it is…

Still, could be a very slow pass. I’ve gotten trapped going around a car that was still accelerating, only to have it basically match my top speed while I’m still next to it. Then it’s just a matter of slowly inching by while somebody sits and waits behind me. And I’ve been the person stuck behind before, too. It’s an…

I have never read so many comments from so many people that really don’t understand what the writer was getting at.

To be honest I had to accept that the level of friendship that I had seen on television and movies is just not realistic for me and doesn’t make me happy. Those friends that are ALWAYS at your house or you at theirs, you see multiple times a week and not because you work together but just socially and who are on the…

I both love you and hate you for letting me go there. Posted 8 hours ago. Note the lol at the end.

People are always trying to police my tits. YOU CANT HOLD THESE TITS DOWN!

I send them to my wife as a joke when I’m lying in bed next to her and she’s reading on her phone.

Hedging can be a positive trait, and I’m only saying this because I work with some people who don’t use it at all, ever, and they are incredibly stressful people to work with.

Would saying, “I feel like what you’re saying is baseless and sexist. I feel like you’ve been brainwashed by the patriarchy,” make her feel better?

I wouldn’t necessarily disagree with your boss. I see this issue in the context of introversion vs. extroversion. I am an introvert, and I often struggle to get people to hear what I have to say, in the mix of voices that are louder and more reactive than mine. I can’t tell you how many times I have to softly voice a…

ugh, I’ve been trying to UNDO this habit after 25 fuckin years.

There’s a time and a place to be softer in your speech, and I think the mark of a good boss/leader/business person is to know when to use that. Cause being aggressive isn’t inherently a bad thing!

Honestly I’d rather work with someone who was direct because I appreciate clear communication. I understand the benefit of phrasing things in a much ‘nicer’ way but, to me, that feeds into that false sense of familiarity.

That says more about your boss than it does about you.

lmao yep I have received the work feedback that I am “too direct” and have essentially been told to add inconsequential phrases to what I say. I’m never rude, but I don’t believe in saying “Sorry, can you do this?” when it’s something someone should actually be doing, etc. For that reason alone “I feel” can help out…

Yep, this sounds very familiar. I worked in an office with a lot more women (publishing), but that didn’t change the woman at the top from behaving this way. If anything, it made her worse. I believe I am tough, I know I am smart, and I know I can be direct. If I were a guy, I probably would have been promoted. But…

This is a stupid idea using feelings, if you are direct in the words used and not put feelings into it, it would bring about better objective outcomes rather than a feeling which would turn their ideas about you in a female sense, which would not be good to fight the sterotypes of female coworkers.

My performance reviews have improve significantly since I started doing this more.
