Bragging coworker: "I just hit my wife the other day"
Edited on Wed May-14-08 02:19 PM by NickB79
How the hell can I be the only one pissed off by a conversation about beating your wives in the company break room, with one coworker actually bragging about it?

And when I tell them how fucked up that is, I hear fellow coworkers try to explain to me that "in his culture, it's acceptable to hit your wife" (he's Bosnian)!!!!

THAT'S NOT A FUCKING EXCUSE!!!!

The last time my dad hit my mother when I was a kid, he wound up staring down the barrel of my loaded shotgun. I pray he doesn't have children of his own, because that kind of event messes you up for years to come.

Well, off to another day of work with Mr. Asshole. God give me strength not to punch his fucking teeth in.

3. Remind him that in prison (where spousal abusers can and do end up)...
the "culture" is such that wife beaters and child abusers are the lowest of the low, and you can pretty much count on the tables being turned...
