The only problem with this dude was that, well, we weren't friends. We were "friendly" at work but nowhere near the type of relationship where calling me a bitch and a pussy would be welcome.

I let it slide for a few weeks as it was almost always just between me and him. I'd get some digs every once in a while to try to make it less awkward but then he started doing it in front of other co-workers. Then, one day, he did it in front of customers. Customer asked where a book was while we were standing at the customer service desk and his response was "I can show you. Joe here is kind of slow with those things. I'm basically his boss and I've been here three weeks. He's been here three years". The customer looked at me with this sort of "Wow, you let him talk about you like this?" look and I just shook my head with a kind of nervous "I don't know what to say right now" smile and they left.

I was furious. Decided to handle it. I waited til he got back and asked him if I could talk to him over by the gift department where nobody ever goes. This is verbatim what I said...

"Louis, I understand that you and me, mainly you, like to bust balls every once and a while, and that's fine. I can take it most of the time even though I'm not quite sure why you think it's okay after knowing me somewhat for only three weeks. However, if you ever say anything like to me or about me in front of customers again...I will smack you in the f*cking face". I then stopped, stared at him right in the eyes without a smile on my face, and said "got it?"

Dude looked at me with shock. Got all flustered and said he was sorry. He thought it wasn't a big deal. I told him that it's okay, but it won't happen again, because I'll seriously knock him the f*ck out if he does it again.

I'm not telling this story to try and portray myself as some kind of badass. I'm really not a violent person and can be kind of a bitch when it comes to certain things. Heights. Bugs. My ex girlfriend. F*ck with me at work though and the teeth come out.

That would be either BADS then, or, if you take it literally, BAWDS. Hmmm.

@Exo: you are one cold sonofabitch. Proud of ya. I'd have knocked him out. If I had another body, courage, a different disposition, a new job to go to. Oh, and if I lived in the USA. And was as cool as you.

I bet you slept like a baby that night. Confronting people like that is exhausting. You handled that perfectly, too.

That culture of serious ball busting isn’t very common in the south.

It felt nice.

Oh, dude, I'm well aware. I've been very sarcastic with my friends who moved down south or out west and other people look at me like I'm a HUGE douche. They don't realize that we've been friends for 20 years and that this is just how we talk to each other because we love each other. We express that love by constantly insulting each other with low key deadpan insults all day. It's how we show affection.

Other people are so genuine and reserved that they just think we're all assh*les. I think that's where the stigma of NJ comes from. The inability to understand "bustin' yah balls".

It doesn't work however if we're not friends. As mentioned in above story of mine. It's a fine line but one you do not cross.
