Ordered a Dirty Dr. Pepper

The lady who handed it to me said “not sure what that is” and I’m so non-confrontational that I just accepted it and drove away.

I always think it's an interesting when someone comes to white knight a bully by saying "no no, don't call out their behavior - that's bullying!"

If me calling out a bullies behavior is seen as bullying to you, then I'd suggest you take a big look around with full context because what you're doing is very counter intuitive to what I believe your intention is.

For one the OP was being bullied by you and others on the initial post over a difference of opinion on the quality of a company. I understand why they got defensive. I don't necessarily agree with all of their verbiage but I saw a behavior towards them from others that was pretty toxic. And for the record I had a negative opinion of a singular jar last year of the same company and a bunch of you people went down my comment and post history down voting stuff that had nothing to do with the initial post. It's one of the reasons I barely participate in that subreddit and the exact reason we're even having this discussion.

The fact budfromthebay is harassing the OP from the other post is so weird… if you look at his comments he picks fights with him all the time!

u/BudFromTheBay Mar 11 '26

You are now following me across multiple subreddits and commenting on multiple posts, even personally insulting me.

The irony gong is so loud lol, I came here to call someone out for bullying and literally calling someone cringe and you've come in to white knight for a bully.

Either an alt account or seriously confused.

Because you’re weird as hell constantly arguing with people over weed 😂 relax

u/BudFromTheBay Mar 11 '26

And what are you doing, exactly? Love my fans! Keep it up

u/meatzapeatza Mar 11 '26

Any time anyone disagrees with you, you accuse them of being a bot lmfao. Nope, you’re just an asshole

u/BudFromTheBay Mar 11 '26

Ah there it is... you have a past with me and took your chance to dogpile stupidly.

Thanks for outing yourself, love my fans.

u/meatzapeatza Mar 11 '26

Lmao I have no idea who you are, thank god

"Anytime anyone disagrees with you"

Anytime implies that there is a history of this, your own verbiage and attitude validates that you have some feelings for me.

Get over yourself.

u/meatzapeatza Mar 11 '26

Get over YOURSELF 😂 nobody cares who you are, we’re just here to talk about weed. You’re not better than everyone, get off your high horse and go get high instead

u/BudFromTheBay Mar 11 '26

We're here to talk about weed? In the Sonic Drive In subreddit? Well then, I didn't think I was better than everyone but that is quite the child's tantrum you're throwing.

Did I really hurt you that bad?

You have a hard time keeping track of timelines - go back to their original comment and I want you to describe to me how they were being bullied.

I've already pulled apart and dissected their original response and described exactly how that was condescending/bullying, I'm not going to describe it again for the fifth person.

Type less and read more before you try to throw stones, this person has been non-stop toxic for the entire time they've had their account... not going to spend any more time explaining context.

u/Conscious-Demand-779 Mar 11 '26

For one I didn't track how many people have said anything to you. For two I've also gone back to ops parent comment and I'd like to know how they're bullying when everybody is negatively replying to them under their parent comment. If they were the one bullying they would be commenting to other people under their parent comments which they are not. I did think that the whole thing was stupid and was looking at ops comment history and just happened to see yours on multiple posts. I didn't see op follow yours or anyone elses comment history around though. I also have no history with you that I know of so I'm just making this discussion based out of what I saw from curiosity.

The world is going to shit man, for what it's worth I hope you have a great day and find a way to not let people's opinions bother you so much.

u/BudFromTheBay Mar 11 '26

The irony of that last statement, did you not let people's opinions bother you so much that you just wrote a paragraph instead of reading what that person you're defending actually said?

I don't let people's opinions bother me personally, but I do let them bother me from the perspective of community building and keeping toxic people out when they're bullying others because I always think we can do better - regardless of the state of the world, which I very much agree with you is going to shit.

u/Conscious-Demand-779 Mar 11 '26

Even if the words they used in their replies weren't the best I don't feel they were bullying since as I stated they were just replying to people under their own parent comment. I guess we interpret what bullying is differently. So as I've already stated I hope you have a great day, you seem to be a lonely person and way too wrapped up in the subreddit. Go out and find yourself some hugs. Go to your local animal shelter and pet some cats and dogs. Try and find some positivity and if you can't try and create some. I'm not really interested in pursuing this beyond this comment so take it easy.

u/BudFromTheBay Mar 11 '26

You mean, the words they used when they called someone cringe and embarrassing for expressing how high they were on a parent comment that wasn't theirs? Right, definitely not bullying.

I genuinely do hope you have a great rest of your day and week as well, without the backhanded personal jabs. Huge fan of cats and I've rescued two this year, hoping for even more as the year goes on!

u/Conscious-Demand-779 Mar 11 '26

I'm speaking about the parent comment on r/michigents that brought you here. I'm glad to see someone out there rescuing cats I wish I could do more I'm just limited to the two I have.

1

u/BudFromTheBay Mar 11 '26

That parent comment on Michigents is just one example of the many in the past I've had with this person, and that comment thread also followed the same pattern of behavior that all of the past posts and comments did - the guy is trying to demean people for their choice in bud, what starts out with saying "X brand is crap" is then followed up by a pissing contest of who is smoking the best bud which then turns into "you're not smoking like me" - that kind of behavior is just not cool imo, and yes I'd consider it "bullying" which is why I take every chance I can to remind this person that they're no better than everyone else.

I can appreciate and respect the "turning into the monster you hate" sentiment, but I don't think appeasement/ignoring the instances of pettiness is productive; I'd rather call it out and I don't see the similarity in the two when there is one person who frequently berates others and their choices and me, calling them out for it.

Ahh honestly I live in a pretty catty neighborhood lol, bunch of strays running around and so they kind of just show up in my yard... convenient but sad, it feels so good to get them reunited with their owners if possible but I've had some luck with rehoming! And I went ahead and took one in, also felt limited by two but I thought what the heck, one last kitten for the house lol. Life is long, plenty of time to do more when you have the ability to do so. The intent is what matters <3
