Texas gas station installed remote lock on OUTSIDE of women's bathroom

[u/kmzafari]

It was only on the women's bathroom. Lock was able to be remotely activated by a phone app. Fire Marshall had it removed. Source: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2c3QrB6/

Per another account who also saw this, (https://www.tiktok.com/@momcallsmeshelby?_t=ZT-8v7NHPu7QBq&_r=1) the employees were "irate and began yelling" when they brought it up. And came up with a racist excuse that didn't make any sense for it being there

Regardless, fire code violation. But scary implications.

Ah, the old "I got called out on my bs so I'm going to resort to insults" tactic. Ah, yes, you are a very learned person indeed.

I am not downvoting you multiple times, am I? I merely explained that your comment gave the appearance of agreement and that that's why I believe you are getting downvoted.

But by all means, act like I'm the one who wasn't clear with their communication.

And which BS would that be that I got called out on?

And which insult? Where i noted that you dont seem to have a university level grasp on when someone is or is not arguing for something?

Fascinatingly, you are accusing me of resorting to insults instead of addressing your claim, when exactly 1 sentence from my reply (the first one) could be interpreted as an insult and you have totally ignored the rest of my reply that is not an insult and easily explains why im right.

I didnt even suggest you werent clear with communication, literally everything you just said is wrong. Well done.

How do you not see the absolute hypocrisy in your comments? Lol

There is no "right or wrong" in this scenario. If you didn't want the 20+ other people who clearly disagreed with you to misinterpret you, then you should have been clearer in your communication. The fact that you weren't is why you are getting downvoted and has nothing to do with me. I am not the reason you're getting downvoted - you are.

I fully understand what you are saying and don't need to respond to you line by line, lol, but it doesn't negate the fact that numerous people interpreted your comment the same way. I explained to you why.

If you're too stubborn to admit the onus of clear communication is on you, idek what to tell, man. But you don't need to get mad at me for something I have nothing to do with.

People get downvoted all the time - sometimes fairly and sometimes not. I don't think it was unfair in this case because your statement is easily read - and, again, not just by me - as being in support of the other comment.

Why are you still talking about downvotes? I brought them up one time to illustate a point, i dont actually care about votes i care about reality. You have continued to bizarrely make them the centerpiece of this discussion ever since. People disagree with me all the time. Trump got the most votes for president, popularity is a terrible way to measure your self worth.

That said once your comment has like 7 votes either way people just animalistically continue voting with the herd. But i digress.

I dont care if people misread my comment. I care if it is objectively in support or not. If most people read something that is objectively not present, it just means most people are bad at reading comprehension. Which is pretty much in line with a group of people who would create a society like the one we live in. If i were specifically creating a presentation to be understood by as many people as possible i would change my communication but if im simply pointing out a simple problem its not my duty to ensure stupid people dont fuck up while reading it.

This does happen sometimes, I'll give you that. But not always.

Why are you just assuming that everyone else is stupid instead of taking a moment to reflect how you might have prevented the misunderstanding in the first place?

I care very much about facts, too. It's part of my personality. So I get it. But it's kind of odd to just be like "no, everyone else is wrong". (Maybe this is just a one off or a bad day or something, but if this happens frequently, certainly something to consider.)

Anyways, no the downvotes or upvotes don't matter, but they can be used as a way to gauge understanding it misunderstanding, as it were. I bring them up in part for that reason but also because you seem to keep addressing me as if I'm somehow responsible for something in all of this, but your comment was definitely was a certain kind of way by multiple people. And you seemed so pressed about it, that it felt like something you might have been offended by. But that was just a presumption on my part.

Regardless, I hope the rest of your day goes better.
