Jumping from child care to private security really messes with you. I keep saying "oopsie daisy" and encouraging drunk folks to "go home, drink some water and take a nap, and let's try again in 24 hours, okay?" Best part by far is that it's working. Guy went like he was going to fight me the other day and his buddy said "you leave the nice lady alone"

As someone very vocal about youth liberation, I'm always saying we should treat children more like adults, but we should also treat adults more like children. But in a kind way, not a "ignore their opinions and abuse them" way.
A paramedic at work said something horrifyingly misogynistic at the beginning of a training scenario in front of multiple people including two women who were also paramedics. I did what I do to my kids: held up a hand, looked him dead in the face, and said “no thank you”
And he literally didn’t speak for the next 2 hours. 11/10, still use.
