This engineer’s conflict avoidance is a 10/10. They know that it’ll be nearly impossible to protest against a rather pushy colleague’s crime-free sentiment, especially since the engineer hasn’t been in Dallas very long.

Whether the colleague is full of that good old Dallas pride, or they know a guy who knows a guy that might want that floppy disk, it doesn’t matter. They could have been less abrasive…
