Has covid made everyone crazy?

[Arizona_928]

I got a really hatefuly/threatening email from a gent who works c&k market inc. Some prick director using his work email. Anyways... Would it be appropriate to forward that email to HR. Anyone think of anything worse to do?

I thought you were in the car parts biz, not supermarkets.

[Arizona_928]

I'm in neither. Lol

[Arizona_928]

I don't know the guy. Something I did in the community pissed him off and he's being a prick on his work email.

Tell him he's being a prick, and he should stop lest you decide to be a prick back and get petty revenge. Other than that, let it go and move on. Does not good to steam over it.

This, best way to annoy guys like these is to ignore them.
He's fiending for a reaction from you. don't indulge him.

If he takes it too far, react, go all out and crush him

What crap is he spewing?

[Arizona_928]

Just a bunch of visual diahreaa that doesn't apply to him.

I think he's salty because I took a position from a female that was having sexual relations with a kid, and he's prolly drunk...

I Told him off pretty well, but if anyone said these things to anyone in person. They would get beat up really good. Like who trolls and threatens people on their work email?!

I told him his opinion is grossly spurious. He'll prolly come down from Oregon and shoot me when I'm tutoring his daughters. LOL

Sounds like you’ve already gone too far. Takes two.

Yep, the best thing is to send him back what looks like a very pleasant totally canned response. Something like thank for your your input. Have a nice day.

Years ago in college, there was a female in my circle of friends that turned out to be quite the drama queen. Over time, she went to greater and greater lengths to stir up trouble just so she could watch the chaos unfold...

One day, before I'd figured out the games she'd play, she calls me up out of the blue: "Chris, your friend Bob is really bothering me. He's way too touchy feely. Can you talk to him for me?" This was plausible. Bob could certainly be that way.

So I call up Bob and politely ask him to stop harassing the mutual female "friend". His response? He starts laughing. Laughing uncontrollably. Laughing for way too long. Finally, he calms down: "Dude, she just called me and asked me to do the same thing with you!"

"So what do we do?"

"We never mention this to her again. It will drive her crazy."

Sure enough, a few days later she arranged a social gathering where both Bob and I would be present. You could visibly see the disappointment on her face when Bob and I got along like always. She grew increasingly frustrated as the night went on.

Eventually, she isolated me and started questioning me: "Did you talk to Bob for me?"

"Yep. We worked it out. Don't worry about it."

"What did you say?"

"Don't worry about it. It's all taken care of."

She stormed off. Later on, I could see that she had isolated Bob and was questioning him. Her body language suggested that she wasn't getting the answers that she wanted. At one point, she was literally stamping her foot with frustration.

I think she expected us to fight over her. She wanted us to fist fight over her. And she wasn't even really attracted to either of us, she was just bored and wanted men to fight over her for her own amusement.

A few years later, she tried to start a fight between myself and my now wife. Once again, she didn't expect us to talk and figure out that she was stirring up trouble for her own amusement. When it didn't produce the drama she desired, she literally fled campus in the middle of the night and drove to Colorado, never to be seen by any of us again.

I didn't stoop to his level of name calling, insults and threats. I apologized for how he felt. I just don't like to be anyone's punching bag, no matter the degree nepotism. I will tell you that you're full of ****. Hence what I felt his opinion was. **** is just pathetic.

The sob is an IT director. I'm sure he doesn't have anything else to do especially with his family not in the same state.

[ossiblue]

My take, don't respond. If he persists, forward the emails to his HR with no editorial comments, just factual statements about when they were received and noting they originated from their company.

[flatbutt]

AS far as the OP question...I'm not crazy yet...not yet

[legion]

I'm not crazy. And neither am I.

[KFC911]

"I've always been crazy, it's kept me from going insane..."

Waylon and me....

[vash]

I’m giving people way more leeway. Eff it.

Bad moods are okay and understandable.

When this is all over, apologies all around.

Deep breathing exercises.

My wife just tossed a bakery cookie because she thinks we should cut back on sugar.


Breath in thru the nose, out thru the mouth......
