40 Things People Said That Indicated They Don’t Realize How The World Really Works, As Shared In This Online Community

Possibly not disrespect, just oblivious to the fact other people can't afford a nanny.

It's lack of self-awareness. Also disrespect, but unintentionally. She doesn't even see "the help," I would guess.

Mmmm, not really, put yourself in the place of the rich lady, that's all she knows, she's not trying to be disrespectful, she's just being inaccurate and somewhat ignorant

The cat probably takes better care of the baby than bio-mom…

Most live below 40k

She probably didn’t even do that. Babies ruin bodies, and sometimes those bodies were expensive. That’s what surrogates are for…

Exactly. It’s not right, but it works so why would people stop doing it? Shoutout to the managers who ban people like that and the higher ups at the company who don’t reward that behavior.

Exactly! People will keep treating service and retail workers like this because we let them. They have no reason to change. What has to happen is managers and owners of these places have to stop allowing it. Does someone yell at your staff? Get rid of them! You have the right to refuse service so, do it, and protect your employees. Not only will your staff respect you more but they will be happier to work for you. Happy staff equals hard working staff. Hardworking staff equals great service. Great service equals happy (and not yelly) customers.

As a manager in my many jobs I would send those entitled ones out most times angrier then when they came into the establishments. They get shocked when I refunded them and sent them packing saying we can do without their business and give then the number to corporate to allow them to air their grievances.

I get what you're saying, being loud has worked for them in the past so why would they change. BUT shoving a person's cart out of the way with your own cart may clear up an aisle, it's still bloody rude.

I simply speak to people the way they speak to me as it is obviously the most comfortable for them. Oh I'm sorry, you dont like being spoken to that that? My bad...just following your lead.

Doesn’t work w me. But it is the manager’s fault if they allow it. . What always tickles me are the morons who think that works over the phone w! LOL “Ooops! Did I just accidentally disconnect that caller?” 😇

👏👏👏👏👏

Not the hero we need...but the one we deserve

Yeah right like that 5 bucks somehow is enough to buy someone else's groveling.

What kind of attitude? The kind that demands a bare minimum of effort and respect from entitled morons?

If I understand correctly you are implying that when you climbed the ladder you turned and treated ppl the same way you were treated...what up with that? That's not growth, it's actually a step backwards into the vile swamp of A-holes that you claim to dislike. In other words, sinking to their level. You have an opportunity to change things for the lowly ppl you were once grouped as, but you're just abusing what little power you've gained with your promotion. I think that sucks. It's immature and straight outta high school.

Love to hear this!

It only works on weak people. Stand up to bullying

I actually find workers are now a tad too entiled and lippy. Despite 2022 propaganda, they aren't sacred or urban heroes. Just workers.

Being rude to a jerk isn't going to make them realize they're being a jerk.

It sounds like you have a lot of anger issues. #gethelp

Good for him. Keep on keeping on

That's unlikely to work. There will always be some 60+ year old who will recall that back when they did this kind of job they were always perfect in pleasing everyone and following all their managers directions. Probably oblivious to having more training, more colleagues, lighter loads, simpler selections, more simple registers, regular schedules, more autonomy, possibly fairer pay, etc.

Maybe remind management that the full phrase is "The customer is always right IN MATTERS OF TASTE" and that allowing abuse is... allowing abuse.

Do you not have a fair work commission or something? If you are not safe doing your job, including mentally, then things need to be changed! Aren't there unfair dismissal laws as well?

And douchebags are wondering why people don't want to work in the service industry

Words of wisdom

Agreed. It worked for me. I admit I grew up quite spoiled and well off so I didn't understand a lot of things like that. My best friend grew up in a poorer family. When I was in middle school I asked a similar question and he told me to try and think about why. I was around 12 at the time and took a bit to understand. He still teases me about my mistake over 20 years later. We're still best friends

Don't count on it!

Wait f**k that's amazing, no hear me out, you need experience to get a job but you need a job to get experience. If we had something like this it could count as initial experience, it would literally solve so much.

Not the hero we need... but the hero we need to have

Right on?!

Amen.

Wow. You REALLY don't get it, on any level. Scary. But I agree with your last statement, whenever possible. But that would require actual involvement in people's lives. It's uncomfortable and messy and most people/agencies would rather throw money and turn away.

Denial isn't just a river in Egypt, it's a philosophy of parenting!

I was the parent volunteer that always got called to sub.Most of the kids know me but one boy lost his mind in class,got right up in my face and starts poking me with his finger. I saw red,grabbed him by the shirt and drug him to the office,told them what happened. The next morning the school calls me and asks me to come over,the parents want to speak to me. Got there and as soon as they saw me the burst into tears,grab me and hug me. I couldn't process why this was their reaction. They said at home he was a horrible terror and when he came home and told them what happened he was shaking and crying. He apologized to them,me and his teacher for his bad behavior. Still came upon him or his parents from time to time and he never went back to the way he was.
