For all of my 32 years on planet Earth, I’ve been trying to find the key to effective communication. It’s hard, right? So many things have gone wrong because of misunderstandings and breakdowns in communication. Well, I’ll be damned if the answer wasn’t right under my nose this whole time. Who knew you could hone your communication skills just by frequenting the Nashville Greyhound station? Thankfully, one man’s out there teaching a master class…
A man was arrested after he reportedly caused quite a bit of damage at the Greyhound terminal in Nashville.
The crime happened at the bus station on 5th Avenue South.
According to reports, the man, identified as David Shepherd, was upset over an issue with a ticket, and he allegedly became enraged.
Witnesses said he was yelling and saying racial slurs, as well as knocking things over and causing damage.
Get your popcorn ready because the video is CAN’T MISS viewing:
This is some Grade A meltdown footage so first of all, props to whoever shot this and broadcasted it all over Facebook. That’s some clutch ability.
Now, onto the meltdown itself – it’s kind of disturbing how calm this dude is. Which actually isn’t good if he’s trying to teach people how to better get their points across. You have a full range of inflection and tone to use to help get your point across. Something tells me that’s probably better than throwing signs through windows.
I’m beginning to think this guy is a fraud and isn’t really a communication expert. Like, maybe he conveyed his disappointment in this Greyhound station by wrecking shit and not actually practicing good communication.
Every time I watch this, and it’s been at least five times now since I started trying to write this (#Journalism), I find something new. Like the way he just walks around in circles. It’s the type of circle walking that makes you think he’s going back and forth between “what do I destroy next?” and “what happens to all the sausage at McDonald’s once breakfast is over?” in a matter of seconds.
Then, there’s the poor guy next to the door. He initially, very sadly, just picks up his backpack and goes to sit by the door. But, when this redneck Finn Balor lookalike tips a sign over near him and starts hammering out windows, has to get up and move yet again. Poor guy.
Why are so many people laughing, though? I feel like my instincts would’ve kicked in and I would’ve just leveled the guy. Either that, or I would have tried and he would’ve thrown my face through one of those windows. I would’ve figured someone would’ve stood up and said, “sir this is enough. This is behavior highly inappropriate of a grown adult.”
But, he’s just talking crazy – “sir, you saw her throw that eight foot tall cactus at me, right?” That’s a paraphrase, of course, but you get my point. He’s making people laugh so their judgment is obviously clouded.
I guess there’s a lesson here, after all, but it’s not what I initially thought. It’s more that you need to prepare yourself if you plan on going to the Nashville Greyhound station any time soon.
