About a month ago one of the guys at lunch was saying something about how he doesn't want his ex-wife to get his kids vaccinated because "all the aluminum and mercury is gonna make them r*****d"

I told him to take a closer look at his tuna sandwich because he definitely has shed aluminum dust onto his food unless he takes his jacket off and shakes his hair out, and he should probably wear a mask because that faint glitter in the air isn't fairy dust. Also look up mercury content in tuna.

The HR guy came out because apparently I "called a coworker a slur for autistic people" when he connected the dots that "if I believe those things make one autistic then they must be calling me autistic since I inhale and ingest aluminum all day at work and mercury is in my food" and felt that I was insulting him by informing him of the things he should already know.

(apologies if this was a little incoherent, I just woke up)

did the HR guy piss off when you explained the situation, or keep it going?

The fucking mental gymnastics of that dude… he says the word, then tries to turn it around on you 😑

It's hilarious how these people call others snowflakes yet they melt (down) over the smallest challenge to their beliefs.
