College has been going fine for me. School has never been issue, and there have only been two major events where I recall being extremely irritated (one I posted on here and excluded details from - oops).
Anyway, for the past few years I simply did myself, so I never had any issues beyond the typical grump or two. That all changed however when someone randomly called my name and introduced themselves to me.
"Hi Monocle_Layton. I wanted to see if you want to be friends or something".
I didn't mind much, as he seemed to be a weird person. I agreed, and told him I wouldn't mind. Unfortunately, that would turn into a terrible mistake.
At first, he would simply joke often and include one dark joke here and there. I definitely never found it hilarious, but comedy is subjective. Unfortunately, it only got worse as he continued to believe I enjoyed the edgy shit he kept telling me. From dull Muslim rape jokes to Holocaust jokes, I honestly began to lose my patience slowly. However, I kept my cool since I typically never lose my temper over such things.
It was only until he randomly called me a ni**er that I snapped for the first time in over a year. School isn't exactly killing me, but I was tired from work and was not in the mood to have an unfunny prick call me a slur.
I called him out directly and told him being edgy isn't funny, and that he'd need to cut it out. I'd understand if someone is 13, but at 18+ you seriously need to get it together.
Instead of getting a reasonable response, I get something I didn't anticipate. With an annoyed face, he said "No need to be triggered over a joke".
Afterwords, I then yelled at someone with anger for the first time since middle school. I said his humour is shit and that he hides his pathetic sense of comedy behind 'irony' and edge, and that I only pretended to be his only friend because I didn't want anyone ever having to deal with him. By then I'm sure he realized there was nowhere to go after this, so I left him and haven't said a word to him in a few days.
I feel rather bad for some of the things I said, but honestly I don't understand how some people live like this. I seriously hate pushing others down, but at that point is telling the truth going to even hurt him? I want to see him improve, but I honesty can't be with someone who shoe-horns muslim, holocaust, and racial jokes (which are probably stolen from Reddit) into any conversation I start.
It's painful to sit in class and see Becky be uncomfortable from the 'edgy' joke he's attempting to tell her. By now I'm not sure what he'll do, but I've been wondering if simply moving on is the best thing for me.
