  • If he had depression there might not have been a reason. It’s not uncommon for men to spend their lives silently fighting with depression, and when I was 5 a man going to a therapist would have been seen as a weakness and weird.

    Remember that depression is a disease, looking for a reason makes as much sense as asking why someone had their heart fail. I recently watched “In Limbo” with my wife and I think they handled it very well (TW: Suicide). When the depression grabs you you’re not able to think clearly or reason your way out of it.




  • When I worked at McDonald’s I used to keep the DriveThru headset on after closing while I was doing paper work to tell people “sorry, we’re closed” if they drove up to the speaker board. (Mind you, the building lights and menu board lights are off at this point. Something we call a “clue”.)
    That stopped after one too many people screamed “FUCK YOU!” into the speaker board (for us following our posted hours and me politely informing them instead of ignoring them.)

    You quickly adopt a policy of “just ignore them and they’ll figure it out.”
