An executive for a big client of the company I work for (its biggest client by far) saw me commuting by bike this morning and, without ever having talked to me before, went on a pretty arrogant tirade about millenials, climate change being "not that big of a problem" and how if I really wanted to help the environment I would take a cab to work (???????) helping the economy at the same time. I really have no idea how I managed to keep my cool, I think just the absurdity of the situation made me so dumbfounded I just didn't know what to say. The twist is this guy works in bicycle production...my blood has been boiling since this happened, what a fucking asshole holy shit. Thankfully I didn't say anything back because he definitely seems like the kind of guy that would try to get me fired if I did. I never even met the guy before.
