Search Results: friend telling my business

So the story tells it all. I (20M), told off my coworker (52F) for being passive aggressive and spiteful to me and my friend (35M). My work friend who we'll call "Tom" is a great guy. He and I were sharing an inside joke. Then our spiteful coworker who we'll call Veronica started making passive aggressive comments about me, which I couldn't care less about. But she turned her scope on Tom mocking his height, and a few other things that Tom is insecure about. At that moment, I told her to stfu, that no one was talking to her and to stay out of other people's business/conversations.

I also implied that if she doesn't have anything insightful to share that she should just leave me and my friends alone. And that we don't want her sh*t. Veronica proceeded to call me a disrespectful kid. Though, I'll admit sometimes I can be quite frosty. However, it is never without reason. Generally, my peers and friends consider me easy to get along with. I give back what people give to me. If you act like a prick, I can be one right back. But if you're nice to me and don't give me too many problems we can pretty much become friends. Now management is getting on my case.

Any thoughts?

A video shows a guy eating his burrito but he gets interrupted by a couple who start to complain to him and his friend (guy recording) for not wearing masks. The burrito man tries to explain the obvious to them that he can’t eat while wearing a mask. The arguing continues for a bit before the couple throw hot coffee on the “burrito man” which enrages the burrito man who absolutely pummels the male partner of the woman in retaliation while the woman gets in between both men and futilely tries to hold back the enraged “Burrito” man.

After both parties calm down, the burrito man sits down as the couple calls the police claiming they were assaulted even though they threw coffee on him before the beat down. The video ends as sirens start to be heard but according to some articles, the police made the couple apologize to the “burrito” man since the guy recording (friend of the burrito man) shows the video to the police which reveals the couple as the instigators. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.ibtimes.sg/california-couple-throws-coffee-man-not-wearing-mask-gets-beaten-then-play-victim-49383

My opinion: If you aren’t a police officer or an employee on duty in a business, it’s not your job to be telling people to wear masks. Furthermore there’s always exceptions to when you can take your mask off in public. In my opinion the couple were wrong, they should have just minded their own business and kept walking.
