    First day on a job and a coworker took a pistol out of his briefcase/bag and began cleaning it/wiping it down. It was a small office of 5ish people. I was just basically there to help play a tech support role for some outdated software they were running. My coworker was an older sales rep for the company and he was responsible for hiring me (don’t ask me why). Anyways, first official day I was working he brandished his pistol. I don’t know why. He looked a bit like Kelsey Grammer which bummed me out because I love Frasier. (Shout-out to /c/Frasier ) He had other hangups and ultimately quit a few weeks later.

    When he pulled that gun, time slowed down. With all of these mass shootings I just didn’t know what to expect. My mind raced but my body froze. I wish I could say I said something but I didn’t. I kept my mouth shut and pretended like nothing was happening.

    People can be so unhinged. That was almost 10 years ago now.

            Well I don’t own a gun so that probably won’t happen

            Well, in that case you can come as you are, as you were.

              Only if they swear that they don’t have a gun.

        He did it in an office with five people in it, not his garage around his drinking buddies.

        Something tells me your account won’t make it to anonMay2025@lemmy.zip

            One has to wonder … when part of the anonymousness appears to rely on multiple accounts, but the accounts are clearly labeled and easily enumerated. Do you then achieve your objective?

            I bet said user does the same thing with their password (singular)
