Why?
In the past when members on here have suggested reporting someone’s inappropriate behaviour they have been called a “grass” by others. Personally I think calling out and reporting it is the right thing to do, but some people don’t. They are a small part of the wider problem in society where people behave however they like without any worry of the consequences of their actions and others deem it fine to ignore it and especially not to report it.
Anyway, I followed up this morning and rang the club, the nice lady I spoke to assured me they’d take it very seriously.
It’s an interesting concept that of being a ‘grass’. Almost as if there should be some solidarity and pride in not standing up to wrong doing. That’s it’s somehow acceptable to just either acquiesce or celebrate it.
I often wonder with those who call someone a ‘grass’ if they have a threshold or if it’s just black and white.
I get that not everyone wants to step in and report others for acting like a twat, but labelling someone else who does as a ‘grass’ all seems a little infantile and more than likely massively hypocritical.
My experience is that those labelling others as a ‘grass’ are generally those who are likely to be ‘grassed’ on themselves….
