How did people become so fragile?

[MeltedLemonade]

No I don't care about your political views

I'm not talking about sides on any political bs, basic personal story is I just tapped or "plapped" (as some people apparently say) this girl who was a friend of mine at my work on her head with my palm, not hard or anything like just as a friendly physical gesture (it wasn't really intended I listed that situation at the bottom), and now she went to management and now I don't know if I'll ever work there again, it would probably be even worse if I lightly punched her arm like you sometimes see other people doing to their friends.

One other thing is that people now only side with the person who plays the "receiver" role or as some may call the "victim" roll, even though depending on the situation it can be argued who is the victim.


For people who are asking why, I tried to scare her by waving my hand in front of her but I moved too late and my hand hit the front of her face, still not very hard so I played it off

I am physically fragile for reasons out of my control.

Even so if it was an honest mistake i see no reason to burn you like a witch.

I miss having friends that aren't afraid to goof around a little.

wait a minute, 'plapped?' their 'head' you say?

good lord, is this some kind of a reference?

for example to sexual assault donald trump?

Such a tiny detail could turn this entire situation on its side.

[Tristin]

Nice bait thread.
You almost got me.

[DoomsDay]

it is bad to fool around coworkers, real life and work is not a mass effect game, where one can sleep with all of his coworkers and get the job done right.

[Bassturd]

Touching other coworkers has always been a taboo. Male or Female, it's always been proper etiquettecy to keep hands to yourself. If you're allowed to come back consider yourself lucky.

You are not even allowed to look at a woman in the work place unless they have a matter at hand. A friendly hello or goodbye is about the only thing you could do.

I suggest you ask for re-training, and learn about a 4 foot rule.... make eye contact directly, firmly when communicating keep thoughts/speech firmly on the problem/tasks/work during the current moment then nothing at all. It is cold, and it has to be.

Outside of work, in a social place.... maybe you could smile a bit more or ask for a gentle flirt.

[LeviathanWon]

Unless you work in some kind of industry that requires you to touch people.... highly doubtful you ever worked for a firm or reputable company in the first place, so I would just go to school and look for a better job anyways.

Time and place to blow off "steam" this being one of those lucky places you have.

Estrogen in literally everything

Technically true and has always been true, since we man also have estrogen.

When you inevitably get called in to HR so they can fire you, try to claim you're autistic because dear lord you need to be on the spectrum to make such a ♥♥♥♥ up lol

So I just tapped one of my female coworkers who also happens to be a friend, on the forehead with my palm, like how people knock on peoples heads like a "Think Mcfly! Think!' but obviously not as a hard or violent thing, just as a sort of friendly gesture, and now I'm not allowed to go back to work until they contact me, and I'm assuming I'll lose my job.


One other thing is that people now only side with the person who plays the "receiver" role or as some may call the "victim" roll, even though depending on the situation it can be argued who is the victim.

Edit: man some of you guys really leaped to sexual assault, good lord

your mess, your problem. next time keep your hands to yourself unless you got permission to do so.

The workplace culture has changed the last few decades, that's simply the fact of the situation, either follow those rules you don't like or find yourself out of a job.

Women became the majority of many fields and faculty, its how they hide social aggression, claim a threat.

[LeviathanWon]

If you ever have a problem with a company or a place of employment outside of working hours / off of the place of business grounds, something involving "personal" or "recreational" then you should take fight in a court of law, cause that is "your time" "your personal freedom".

I didn't know this was in the edit (since there was another edit removing it) until I saw some people quote it.

It seems that OP should really just stop talking and get an attorney because that little detail means that they're dealing with an assault claim & they'll be lucky if it doesn't go to the police.

Accidental assault still qualifies for a disorderly conduct charge.
(However, there are usually very generous plea deals that can get you through this even more unscathed than the falsely accused individual who can only plead "not guilty".)
(If they give you one of the plea deal types that won't go on your record (some do, some don't), then I recommend that you just take it and move on because you messed up.)
(And also because one of the other posts in your post history demonstrates that you post things online that could be used against you in a case such as this one.)

"A person is guilty of disorderly conduct when that person is recklessly creating a risk
thereof:
He creates a hazardous or physically offensive condition by any act
which serves no legitimate purpose."

I'm just going to delete my other post because in this situation, you just need straight-forward advice, instead of my entire thought process :

- After seeking legal consultation and leaving the workplace, pay for a psych evaluation for any conditions that would entail not understanding social expectations and acting inappropriately as a result. If you cannot pay for a psych evaluation, then seek help from your local voc rehab or any disability services that you can find to see if they'll pay for you to get evaluated.

From there, whichever organization you're working with can help you form a plan to get you whatever training that you need in order to make sure that this never happens again.

Ok no it's not THAT bad, I'm removing the entire context of this post, too many people saying some out of pocket nonsense

I'm removing the context of this post, you guys are going WAY too far my story
