(Chanting, banging on table, getting louder and louder) nice nice nice NICE NICE NICE NICE

Kinda out of left feild but only sorta

And this Is what abuse surviors mean when we say no one would believe us in many cases and we'd look like the bad guy

"Employee sues job over birthday party and wins 450k" sounds insane like that poor man was just absolutely bonkers makes you go "be mature and just communicate your needs don't sue you greedy stick in the mud"

But "man wins 450k suit over his disability accomodation requests getting him fired" sounds way more like he was a sane but struggling human being who did everything he could and sued for the suffering his abuse at the hands of his workplace caused

Theirs ways shitty abusive people *always* can spin the one side to make you sound more than bonkers the better they are at it the more dangerous they are

Im more afraid of the abuser who could make me look like a monster over any discussion of what was happening than the one I still flinch when a high-five happens for

At face value, this is a ridiculous headline. But the article then says his managers berated and insulted him for leaving the party after an anxiety attack, and the company then fired him for taking days off work for “unsafe work practices,” due to having anxiety?

twice now, i have been called by scammers pretending to be bankers telling me i'd been scammed by someone else, and that they, the scammer/banker, would cancel the fraudulent transactions made in my name as soon as i gave them a bit of information to confirm my identity.

the second guy called me from my local bank branch's number and told me "someone in another city is attempting to make purchases with your debit card information" and after i expressed obvious distress he told me "don't worry, this is what i'm here for. we're going to get your cards/accounts cancelled/closed and then we'll all i need you to do is verify the 6-digit code that i've sent to your phone"

that 6-digit code was the code to reset my online banking password 🙃 which i didn't realize at the time. he then got into my online banking account and e-transferred himself $2,800. my bank reclaimed the money but i had to close my bank accounts, then open new bank accounts, cancel my debit and credit cards, get new debit and credit cards, alert two credit unions that i was a victim of fraud, change all my fucking passwords, etc etc

sorry if this shit is obvious to other people but it was not to me so:

if someone calls you, claiming to be from your bank telling you that there are suspicious charges on your account, hang up on them and call the number on the back of your debit card. worst case scenario, you hung up on someone and called a different person back but at least now you know you're talking to someone from the bank. best case scenario, you just hung up on a scammer and are already on the line with someone to report it.

keep your head on a fucking swivel out there

Picture that makes me cry
