I think it's much more common for someone to get bullied in their life in like middle school or high school than when they're an adult at like an adult workplace. Has it happened to you after you turned 18 or at your workplace?

Let me introduce you to Donald Trump - a 73 year old bully who uses the bully pulpit of the Presidency to boss around and intimidate anyone that opposes him.

But seriously tho... Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein used their power to bully and abuse kids and ADULTS alike.

So yeah, it never stops.

Or people who are lower in the food chain at work with assholes as supervisors/bosses. Who can't fight back less they lose their jobs.

Yeah, it often has nothing to do with fucking feelings getting hurt.

No, I could see getting bullied in college maybe but once you are an adult it should never happen.

Also that^

I make fun of my co-workers all the time but no one considers me a "bully", I am just having some friendly banter and encourage them to give it as hard as they take it. I like when people bust my chops, it is fun.

See this shit here? That almost never happens as they say it does.

There was this asshole at work that would prank co-workers with real annoying pranks. And whenever ppl would complain he would go: "Ah, c'mon! Can't you take a joke?"

Well, one time he threw phlegm on the top of a door way. Hoping that it would fall on someone that passed by. The rest of us thought that was crossing the line. So we ganged up on him, grabbed his arms and legs and while he was screaming bloody murder, we positioned him right below the green mass of phlegm. Until it finally fell on him.

We let him go and one of us went: "what's the matter? Can't take a fucking joke?"

He moved out from our department the next week. LOL

Sounds like no one in the department can take a joke, LOL! I would have just pissed in his coffee, then someone would shit in mine, and we would all have a laugh!

Serious answer though, there is a difference between a clear HR violation and when I joke about one of my co-workers not knowing how to use a computer, and them joking that my handwriting looks like I sodomized a chicken over a piece of paper.

Yeah, that guy was a HUGE fan of Youtube prank videos and somehow thought it was a good idea to try and do them at work

Nope.

Yeah, he definitely took things too far.

But the thing is, he always complained that everyone was too freakin' thin-skinned. And that they needed to lighten up about being pranked by him. He had that attitude of "Why can't anyone take a joke? I certainly can!".

Well, when we finally turned the tables on him, he couldn't take it. He was almost in tears and wouldn't speak to us after we gave him a taste of his own medicine. LOL

I haven't and haven't seen other bullied either. I've had people try to mug me and act like I did something wrong before they attacked me.

No, I didn't fight them off. I was just able to get out of the situation by recognizing what was going on early enough to leave it.

Does being in a abusive relationship count?

Because as an adult my sister engaged in a lot of gaslighting directed at me, and relational aggression with my S.O. (also ultimately directed at me).

First job out of college, I did. But I'm not sure it was so much bullying as it was him just not recognizing lines. Or maybe he just an ass. Guy was a fucking giant, though, maybe 6'7" or 6'8" and he had played sports so half of it was probably some macho alpha thing (although he could certainly be cowardly and insecure at times). Most of the people around that office were a bit toxic as well, so I was happy to leave it.

Otherwise I've occasionally run into people who tried to toss their weight around or show off, which I've ignored. No point in getting into a fight over nothing.

as an adult? not really unless you count the time some guy kept busting my chops at work all day long preaching to me because I told him I wasn't religious. I finally had to tell him and more or less use the fact I while not a manager was still a rank above him where I worked to tell him that it wasn't appropriate to talk about politics religion or your sex life at work

Murdering each other is the direct result of adults trying to bully each other into doing what they want or to assert their dominance.

LOL you think that shit was unrelated? So naive.

No, I wasn't bullied as a kid either, just some offhand comments here or there and got attacked once in 3rd grade I think

As an adult you'll only get bullied if you allow yourself to be bullied because it's all just words as an adult

yeah i've never given much thought to "online" bullying when most social media sites allow you to block people, or you can simply not engage with them even if you don't block them. in real life its a bit harder to ignore them especially when you and them are forced to interact because you go to the same school or work at the same place.

not saying online bullies on social media forms shouldn't be moderated though if they truly are out of line, just I never thought it was worth letting it affect your personal life over.

Same. However a lot of this 'cyberbulling' I hear about are from folk who know each other in real life so that isn't really a cyberbulling exclusive thing.
