You want the hard truth as to why everyone is yelling you to “just deal with it”? Because it’s an insignificant thing. You’re acting as if your life is going to be ruined because of this one incident. People have bad days, maybe “Mike” was having a bad day. Im sure your frustration with the situation didn’t help to calm the vibe either. People are becoming so, and I HATE this word, soft. This isn’t a life altering issue, you came here for pity from the community and you didn’t get it, and now you’re whining about not getting pity. Toughen up. Some days are harder than others. Short of someone physically assaulting you, or continuously berating or belittling you, things aren’t that big of a deal. Shake it off, move on, and I hope you have a better experience when you go next time.
