Because if someone says something sexist/racist/stupid, don't let them get away with it.

Working at big major companies, email/harassment campaigns work.
Some psychopath got the news journalists on my company because we didn't have a giant American flag in our campus. We were getting hundreds of emails from randos, were getting review bombed online, and they were even sending letters to the CEO.
We called it flag gate internally. And after a month, there's that stupid flag.
Yeah, no one "flashes a Mensa card" unless they are a jerk.
One time I made fun of people who do cross fit and someone at the table said "I do CrossFit." Then I said, "It's almost as annoying as people who flex over their AMEX card." And another guy pulled out his AMEX card.
I regret not bringing up a Mensa Card.
I had a few parking tickets.
First time, it was completely dismissed because the ticket wasn't accurate date/time. Officer didn't show up to challenge it.
Second time, it was completely dismissed because I did not break any laws and the photo didn't explain anything.
Third time, I had to pay a fine, which was lowered significantly because I realized my issue, admitted fault and promised to do better.
Very critical. Scream it from every rooftop.
If you get arrested and given a fine over a couple hundred dollars, always find a lawyer. Police will often throw in bullshit issues to get something to stick in court.
It's a shame that lawyers get made fun of, when most lawyers I know hate police and only want to right wrongs.
Had a similar experience. Job wanted me but I'm not spending 2 hours commuting.
This was before remote work was a common thing.
