    i wonder why nobody signed the farewell card for the type of ass to sue for not getting a farewell card.

      It is Katy Perry’s little known twin sister, Paty Kerry. Some people have given her the nick name of Emily Blunt, but that’s not her real name.

    The judge added that Conaghan exhibited a “conspiracy-theory mentality” and misinterpreted “normal workplace interactions” as harassment. The example offered was when Conaghan wrote “whiz” in a coworker’s card then claimed another colleague was copying her when they used “whizz” in a different card.

    The Guardian reported she also complained after a coworker asked, “Are you taking the piss, Karen?,” a popular British term meaning making fun of someone, after she claimed she was doing “all the hard work.”

    What a lovely person

      “Are you taking the piss, Karen?,” a popular British term meaning making fun of someone, after she claimed she was doing “all the hard work.”

      In my experience, the people who complain about being the only ones doing all the hard work are the ones doing more complaining than actual working.

      • One would spend several hours almost daily chitchatting at other people’s desks about how they are the hardest worker and things can only get done if they do it, they’re the first in, last out, etc. But spends half their day complaining instead of working.

      • Another is a serial whiner who says no one else ever does anything, they have to do it all in order to get it done, yet they always have some excuse why they don’t have to come in that day, or have to leave early, take a longer lunch, and spends a good chunk of their day gossiping.

          That’s ultimately a question of determinism, free will and whether it counts as “being an asshole” if you literally can’t behave otherwise in cases highlighted as the reason.

          For example, when a person with PDA doesn’t do something especially when asked to, is it being an asshole?

          Or when a narcissistic person refused to do anything that implies they’ve done something wrong before, and does the opposite maybe?

          Or when a person with ADHD doesn’t behave the way it’s convenient for people around them?

          Most people who called me an asshole in my life refused to understand that I don’t want their social dynamics and discourses, I just want to discuss the particular question, literally. Not as part of finding some in-group and saying bad things towards some out-group, but literally to clarify the specific question. Well, and also some of them demanded respect they didn’t deserve. That is, they were assholes, but I’m not sure you would agree, because you are likely not autistic and won’t understand me.

          I also have been rather hostile in situations making me recall my past wounds. Maybe I was an asshole, and maybe the other person could have been more considerate.

          This is all subjective, the situation here is that from the description she clearly perceived what others said and did not as intended to be perceived. Case closed.

            Speaking of mental problems. You need to take a chill pill bro, why are you being so standoffish? This is a public discussion forum, not everyone is going to agree with you.

              Cause I know what I’m talking about, unlike some who just want to shit on a person from some article they don’t personally know. Also the particular comment you are answering is chill enough.

    Not familiar at all with UK law, but would it have been within the judge’s power to order a psychometric evaluation and you know possibly like a weeklong hospital stay with continued weekly visits to a psychiatrist?
