Since you mentioned a sign like that, I want to assume you live in an area with lots of grizzlies.

I know you can’t just go around killing them, nor would I ever condone it.

But what happens if you’re out hiking and a grizzly attacks you? Like, are you going to get fined out the ass or arrested if you blast a grizzly bear coming at you?

Nah.

You can expect people to come by and take pictures and see stuff. You might even expect the occasional trespass.

But people don’t expect the sheer amount of difference and the sheer number of people who will come and fuck with your house.

Like, 1500 people coming by a day? No one is going to expect that, even with a movie house.

Take the BB house for example. People were somewhat okay with the pictures and stuff at first. Then people started throwing the pizzas. You can expect and be okay with one thing, but people taking it too far will ruin it.

People aren’t entitled to fuck with a house just because the house was in a show or movie that they liked.

To be fair, in terms of the no trespassing signs, it says they went up after the 30th anniversary brought 1500+ visitors PER DAY to the neighborhood.

I think anyone should understand that’s reasonable to close your house off to, and it likely had a lot more going on than just people coming by to take pictures.

I definitely think their political views were garbage, but let’s not pretend it’s an extremely entitled way of thinking to believe it’s shitty to close your personal home off to the public.

I know it’s easier to say than do, but don’t stress it.

I’m in my late 20s, and it took me until a couple years ago to stop stressing this sort of stuff.

Best thing you can do is keep your head down, stay quiet, and start looking for a different job.

Your supervisor sounds like a tool who wants to flex his power some, judging by how he jumped straight to a write up. Those kinds of situations will only get worse.

I will offer a word of advice though: Sometimes things aren’t going to be fair, and you may get stuck on a station at work a couple times before rotating. Unless it becomes a constant issue, just roll with it and document it.

It could have simply been a mistake, and your (self-admitted) anger at the end when asked to do something simple could have been taken poorly and as an initial refusal, whether it was or not.

I’ve found that just smiling, saying yes, and looking for a new job when shit starts to stink has been the best way to go.

My dad is currently dying from congestive heart failure. We never had a great relationship, but he’s been trying to repair it for the past couple years since his health has been declining, so we haven’t gotten there completely yet but it’s been better, and I’ve noticed his efforts.

With this disease you end up with ups and downs. Initially he was only given a few months, but it’s been a couple years now.

He’s at the point though where he has multiple organ failures and is likely going to be gone soon.

I was realizing how few pictures we have of him, or of our family together. Kind of upsets me knowing we don’t have much.
