I know it's just autism. But I get the train into work, I'm the 1st stop from the start of the journey and it's a quiet train so I'm either alone in the train car or there's 1 or 2 others.

Over the course of months taking that train I found the perfect seat in the car, optimal space and legroom, near the heaters, away from the bathroom and luggage racks, best side for the view etc. And I sat in that seat every day for almost 2 years.

Then out of fucking nowhere, this absolute piece of shit, this detestable rotting husk of a man, possessed by the faintest whisper of a some ghost that was lobotomised and abused in it's previous life before crawling it's way through ever circle of hell to be rejected by satan himself for being such pathetic waste of existence, before falling arse first back into the mortal realm and landing inside that hideous, cantankerous, deprived, and loathsome body, starts sitting in MY seat, of all the 50+ seats on that carriage, of all the 8 carriages of that train and he chooses to sit there every single fucking day. I once even tried waking up early to go to the station the train starts at. But despite getting there almost 15 minutes before it departed, that foul beat disguised as a man was already there in my seat.

I still do not know what I have done that was such an afront to whatever cruel god casts it's scornful eyes on my life to cause it to unleash this plague of man onto me in order to torture me on such a deep and primal level. But no sin of man in heaven or on earth deserves this kind retribution.

Start sitting next to him. Right next to him. Even if there's open seats elsewhere. Say nothing. He'll be too uncomfortable to confront you about it and will move away after the second time.

autists when they run into other autists

When we were called back into the office, at first we didn't have assigned seats and had to reserve them in advance. It became a ritual to log in every morning and immediately jump to the reservation system to grab the same seat for two weeks hence.

One of my coworkers was grumbling jokingly that I took "her" seat one day (of course, someone else had taken "mine", so that's what prompted it). I told her, "It's a dog-eat-dog world out there." She laughed. The whole situation sucked, and we were all just trying to make the best of it.

That sounds like corporate hell, wtf???

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

That really does sound awful. Someone probably complained about not getting a window seat,

Everyday you have to re-set up your work space, in a new spot and all. Even its just "log in" to the computer, you still have to adjust the display and chair to your preference. They're probably loosing 15 min of labor per person everyday for everyone to unpack their stuff and adjust to their "new work environment", not to mention the time spent finding any one.

I would do reassignment anually. If you like your spot, great you keep your spot. If you want to move, your spot is added to the pool. Seniority gets first pick. Any moves mid-year must have a valid reason such as medical needs, personnel issues, or a job change, or it's just a vacant lot and you asked nicely.

The problem with having favorite spots it that our enemies know exactly where to sabotage

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world -3 points 3 months ago

Now that I have made an enemy here, I will give you a gun, and HOPE you don't sabotage my favorite spot!

One of my neighbors has a disabled parent that baby sits for them. I get so fucking annoyed when they've managed to park in "my" disabled parking spot if I go out for an errand. It's stupid, and I feel like an asshole for feeling annoyed. There are two disabled spots for my building (roughly 48 units), and I would rather push my walker across the whole complex than park in the other spot, because it "belongs" to another neighbor who has less mobility than I do. We don't have assigned parking and I kinda hate it lol

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah I ve been pissed at this all summer, that people keep parking in my spot.

My street has street parking but everyone has driveways and garages so there are rarely cars parking on the street. Why the heck has someone been parking in front of my house?

The street is practically empty, much of the time literally empty, so they can park in front of wherever they’re going. But my house is the only one with a tree, creating one spot with shade on the entire block. Sometimes there is only one car parked on the entire street, and it’s in front of my house. While I know I’m not entitled to the spots in front of my house, this is just wrong.

Actually I have been. I asked my kid to preferentially park their car there, but it just seems kind of silly

[-] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

My spot is also taken in my last job. By AI.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
