The old me would have stayed quiet and put up with it, but not anymore.
I’ve also learned my lesson to call this behaviour out quickly. There’s a group of people from a business (not here today) who have been members longer than me who are so loud, so disruptive, and essentially untouchable (management won’t confront them after I complained). They also know they’re bothering me when I’m here and give no shits. So as soon as there’s a new disruptive group, I approach very quickly to teach some workplace etiquette they should already know.
We need more shit like that called out publicly. I don’t hesitate when some idiot needs to be confronted. Public humiliation is a powerful tool.

Wankers like that in the workplace feel so much worse. I expect more from adults, and yet…constant disappointment. Good on you for evolving :)
