    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 I was just basically there to help play a tech support role for some outdated software they were running.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, did he ever kill anybody or were you being a pussy? We have 10 years of data to confirm one of these.

          Yeah but you didn’t answer the question. 10 years later does that person have a single crime on record? They are either harmless or harmful.

          You can be scared of either. Up to you.

            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)
