    do you awkwardly go to people at work and say “thank you for being my friend”?

      If everyone else ignores me or treats me like shit and this guy spends time with me every day to make my job less shitty? Yeah, I’d thank them and even buy them a coffee.

          I just don’t get it. Certain people here think being a friend takes effort. It doesn’t and it’s appreciated from people who don’t get noticed as often as they deserve to be.

          It’s like that person who said they wouldn’t know what to talk about with a janitor if they were rich as if the janitor and the rich person wouldn’t have grown up steeped in the same pop culture.

      If it’s been a really shitty day where things have been being piled on and I’m struggling, yeah, absolutely. Why do you find this something to mock or ridicule or disbelieve?

        because the OP paints custodians as awkward and outcast. While OP paints themself as a white knight, they backhandedly paint the custodian as a damsel in distress who needs the OP to rescue him. OPs like this deserve all the mockery.
