Dont hang out outside of work

I just read a rant someone wrote in June about peer pressure and phony people. The whole element of being pressured into social outings with people you don't even like, and then it just making things all the more awkward and enmeshed.

In my working life, the only time I have ever heard people talking about hanging out outside of work is when they are phony assholes trying to play High School: Part 2. No good ever comes of this. These retards who drink every night WILL want to go to a bar, and if you're lucky you'll get to see some good old domestic squabbling when they force their girl/boyfriend to tag along.

Even the biggest asskissers at places I've worked at, knew better than to go out. I worked at this job a few years ago, and it was nothing but low IQ retards who'd cuss and talk about sex all day. They'd yell and fight, like actually fucking fight, and spread gossip. Just a terrible fucking place. This effeminate douchebag who was my supervisor tells me how everyone is going out to (shitty local place I won't name) and how I was invited. I said I might go. Found out half of the coworkers weren't invited, and these were all of the better acting people. The biggest gossip and asskisser was invited and knew better and declined. So, it was basically a handful of the worst people, and them trying to get a reading on me because I was new. It was the only reason they invited me. I guess they wanted to get me drunk or something so I'd tell my life story. I didn't go, a few days later I got questioned about why I didn't, and that was that. All of those people ended up qutting/got themselves fired and all turned on one another.

Another job I worked. This even more effeminate fuck would beg every coworker to hang out with him. He put his job at risk to do this, as the company had a policy to not socialize outside of work with employees. He'd tell people how he was putting himself on the line and didn't care, said it as a way of garnering sympathy I guess. Fucking creepy. He'd also immediately friendzone himself with every girl there, and would loudly boast to coworkers about which girls he had crushes on. They'd encourage him to ask the girls out, knowing he didn't have a chance in hell. He begged me a few times and I kept my distance. The second I was away from that job I never heard anything from him. I knew he wasn't really anyone's friend. I just expected some creepy texts to gather information/gossip. He would randomly text me and other people outside of work when I was there.

At my current job there is this dude who gives me a VERY creepy fucking vibe. Into textbook manchild shit. He likes to loudly talk about how he hangs out with coworkers outside of work. No one really likes him as far as I can tell. Has horrific hygiene, and a girlfriend who comes in sometimes (why?) who I suspect is a beard. Their dynamic comes off like they are siblings. They don't look like they go together either. I think it's just for appearances/financial reasons.
