I Wanted to Punch Her in the Face

[paulpablo]

I went to work yesterday at a nursing home and I overheard one of my coworkers telling a resident about how she is a believer in her Lord Jesus Christ. I could have hit her.
Like, why the fuck would you bring that up, especially to an elderly person in a nursing home who can barely eat their jello? Like, shut your damn mouth.

And THEN, this is what REALLY pissed me off, she started talking about her gay uncle saying, "I definitely don't agree with his lifestyle, but I love him anyway."

To avoid making a scene, I left it alone and didn't say anything.

Do you think I made the right decision? And if not, what could I have done or said?

I think you made the right decision to not punch a care worker in the face for the reason of her expressing her belief in Jesus to someone.

I think it's quite abnormal to think about hitting a woman in the face because she says she believes in Jesus, you need to calm down.

let's not forget, from what you have said here there's no encouragement or preaching involved.

If I was in my workplace and I told someone I don't believe in Jesus I'd get pretty annoyed if someone told me I wasn't allowed to speak about these things. I think it should be kept to a reasonable level though.
