Oh Cheeses yes. I know for a fact they're sent by self-centred barnyard-animals-in-clothes with fierce opinions of themselves who think every mis-spelt poorly-typed bit of badger sputum to emanate from their keyboards is the highest wisdom and pronounced ex-Cathedra. Here is the News - I truly do not furkan care when Bring-Your-Kiddies-To-The-Office-Day is!! :pac::pac::pac:

Oh Gawd, just when you thought the job couldnt get any worse Actually that reminds me occasionally we get some female coming in who is off on paid my-fella-shot-his-beans-up-my-muff leave with their little screaming human and the fellow females in the office actually get into a bit of a frenzy. I mean, this is no "congratulations he's beautiful (he looks like the guy from accounts you disppeared with for ten minutes during the office party nine months ago)", its fully fledged hysterics. It's like they've never seen a baby before. You can actually hear the eggs popping - like being at Wimbledon ffs. :mad: The poor child is sitting there wondering what all these hens are screeching about.

You know, "oh can i have x please?" and you're like, "yeah sure it will just be a minute because of y and z" and they look at you as if you have wronged them somehow and say "ah dont bother" - why did ya fuucking ask?

Mothers do this.

So, basically, you believe that if there is a known rapist in your area who is still a threat to people, you should just ignore it and get on with your life.

It's like reading a modern day translation of Shakespearean prose

What would you suggest I do?

I have no suggestions for you. But believing that people are wrong to be freaked out by a known rapist who is a threat to them living nearby is a bit weird.

So I take it you dont mind if I continue on with my life as normal, remaining as vigilant about my safety as I would be regardless of whether there was a serial rapist living nearby?

I dont think people are wrong to be freaked out, I just dont want to be greeted with photos of Larry Murphy and big red warning signs every time I log onto facebook, or see "Monster Spotted in Train Station" on the front of the paper every other day.

People who think your fears/phobias are stupid/ridiculous and you 'should get over it' while their fears are perfectly normal and warranted.

I don't like spiders, I am actually terrified of them and I always get the 'don't be so silly, they won't hurt you, yadda, yadda, yadda'. Whereas it's perfectly okay to be terrified of water or fire. I'm a strong swimmer and I love candles but I would never be so insensitive to say to someone who is afraid of fire 'cop on and light the fire, the match won't hurt you'.
