So I took out a small GEC congress to cut a piece of tape at work yesterday ...

[Lansky1]

Let me preface by saying ... I work an office job in NJ. I heard one of the ladies behind me talking to her friend saying "I don't feel safe". I've had a pocket knife with me every day since I was 11 years old when my dad got me my first (circa 1975) ... such a messed up state of affairs we live in today. I wouldn't be surprised if I get an invitation to the H-R office any day now ...

People suck. The end.

This is why I live and work around rednecks!

You guys aren't allowed to pump your own gas. I'm not surprised at anything NJ does.

 

[Ace Krampus]

Maybe she was speaking generally and just doesn't feel safe with those infamous NJ drivers regularly causing a ruckus

 

[DocJD]

Next time remember to wear a Hamas costume ...they can do no wrong .

Seriously , unless you can move , more to the middle of the country ...IDK .

 

[Danke42]

She probably doesn't feel safe because that's not a knife.

 

[Rob47]

No disparaging remarks about New Jersey. People are STUPID!! And that’s not a regional thing.

 

[Planterz]

Ask to borrow her scissors.

One reason this REDNECK enjoys working around smart people

Ask to borrow her scissors.

Then say I do not feel safe with you have scissors

 

[DocJD]

Ask to borrow her

...teeth !

I’m so glad I live in Kansas and middle America.it’s mostly rural where I live. Here in Kansas we have constitutional carry any knife, any size, open or concealed, in vehicles no restrictions except the usual like schools, court house and jails. Around here i see most people carrying at least a pocket knife and some carry a 5 inch fixed blade on their hip. Nobody says a thing unless they need you to cut something for them.

 

[eveled]

Tell her you’re a Mandalorian, blades are part of your religion.

 

[Planterz]

Then say I do not feel safe with you have scissors

Exactly. Unless she's got them grade school safety scissors that can't cut paper either, they're probably more dangerous than a tiny non-locking pocket knife.

 

[eveled]

Someone asked me why I carried a knife?
I told them “I was worried”
“Worried about what”?
“Worried I’ll have to cut something”
Then I said “If you need something cut, I’ll be there for you”

Exactly. Unless she's got them grade school safety scissors that can't cut paper either, they're probably more dangerous than a tiny non-locking pocket knife.

I have a friend who lost an eye because his safety scissors jammed he pulled too hard and stabbed himself. He was in elementary school.

 

[Danny Linguini]

“I don’t feel safe either. That’s why I carry this.”

 

[mqqn]

Unbelievable.
Does she walk around on her feet without a helmet?

I retired from a Fortune 50 corp, working in a cubicle farm.

One day I showed a friend my new AG Russell Acies.

A young lady in the row of cubicles saw the knife, my mistake, and she loudly blurted " IS THAT A WEAPON??!!??"

I just told her no, it isn't a weapon.

This all happened in a decidedly Midwestern area.

Hope you don't get a talki....

 

[YaArArYa]

function first

 

[Greggy]

When HR calls you into the office for a talkie, pull out the knife and a DMT dia-fold and commence sharpening.

 

[Tsujigiri]

I'm gonna say she probably dislikes you for whatever reason and the "safety" excuse is just her way of jumping on an opportunity to justify her opinion. It'll be a waste of time trying to explain to her why you have a knife, but hopefully HR will be receptive if she actually is petty enough to go that route.
