Mr. Martinez Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Basically I been working at this one job for a couple weeksthis new guy's come rightand basically I'm based in northern Englandand this d*ckhead sleazy rat looking prickis a localman thinks it's okay to mock my accent, the fact i'm from London and everything elseby saying stuff like"OII MANN", "YER BRAFF" and all them things there, which I don't even say whilst @ workhas anyone ever had to deal with something like this before in a professional environment?like normally, I would put man to the side and calmly explain to him why it's not funny and how i would react if he was to say it againbutthis d*ckhead has some suction with management, completely hates me, and is just being the area version of racisti swear down to an extent, i'd even say it's racism cos he doesn't want to understand that i'm not black anywayHOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THIS?I swear man needs to be run up on, after work and relieved of his tonguebehhhhhhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revs Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 its happened before when working shitty part times when i was younger. honestly the best thing is not to react to it. You are new. Just give them the "wow, you are an ACTUAL d*ckhead" look and move on. He probably wants you to switch so you get in trouble. Remember though, there is a difference between taking it like a moist sponge, and ignoring but letting him know you take him for something that dropped out of a dogs anus.

maxibonbon Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 mmm yeah, this kinda talk gets annoying after a few times!! got a white male housemate who keeps trying to immitate the way i talk, well, just one phrase i say. i'm always saying "you're lying!!!?" in a state of belief when in conversation at times.but HEEEE pops up from wherever, and starts copying me but puts on a jamacian twist to the word [e.g. YOU LAH-EEEN] - even tho im not jamacian :-/he keeps doing it, its annoying, im gonna have to show him.mr.martinez, just tell the guy that you dont speak like that, you find his comments offensive and you'd rather not have tensions in the working atmosphere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
