ACHOO!

Your cynical logic is causing some serious friction between you and your coworker and boss at your job. You need to fix this or otherwise the workplace will get real uncomfortable for you real quick.

DO NOT DIG INTO THE GROUND Dope. You know what happens do you? You can't climb back out if you dug too deep. There's a difference between standing firm on your two feet from digging your knee socks into the fresh mud. Moderation is the key and to appease the masses (especially retail), the fucking world isn't ready for atheism yet either.

With that said, try to imagine yourself as another minority and how to respond in each scenario. What do you do if a blind sweet blubbering lady thought you were a woman? Do you respond in cynical logic too?

At least we should be grateful that the workplaces as far as I know had banned circulars of religious pamphlets and the like. Ditto for politics. This shit needs to STAY out of the workplaces for a good reason. You DO not want to wear that badge of Atheism to work, do you?

What I'm sure they're pinging you on is the common courtesy. I'm sure you're a stand up dude but I can be nonplussed when you don't respond or even smile or nod if I was a customer. I'm sure this customer mentioned it out of kindness and only wished for the acknowledgment of doing so even if its for free. Nothing's wrong with free courtesy is there? I'd always say thank you to anyone who opens a door for me. I dunno about you, but free courtesy is the least you can do before a lot of things (like don't fucking spread your disease without using your elbow). I'd be disturbed too if I were the coworker too since it only takes a second to respond in kind.

A MERE SECOND.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
