40 Times People Gave The Most Condescending Advice

Did Wyatt miss the “disability” part??? Clearly there’s a circumstance which prevents her for having a job, so the condescending “Protestant work ethic” BS is uncalled for.

I love reading this....thank you so much for sharing...I am the "jobless single mom on disability" and my biggest fear is that my kids are going to someday be embarrassed of me or that they'll be judged because of me but my kids tell me I'm an amazing mom and reading you say how much you love your mom and how amazing she is makes me hope that someday my kids will say the same thank you for sharing

The doctors talked down to my mother like that. She couldn't shower every day because of a broken leg and foot. She didn't smell but her hair wasn't always freshly washed. So she is fat, missing her front teeth and her hair isn't styled. That's what the doctors see. She also was a very strong woman who had an engeneering degree, who had built her whole life up from scratch. One doctor was insisting on surgery, which would have killed her because of the meds she was taking. He ignored it and tried again because they had a free slot. She left the hospital that afternoon alive. The doc was much more amenable at later appointments. I mean she died anyway, but the gall of some doctors.

Wishing your mom all the best. Unfortunately the world is full of people who build themselves up by putting other people down

Don't know if I'll live to see it, but someday people will see that our society is a caste system, and if you're in the lower caste in this country, you're stupid and worthless. It's long past time we stopped evaluating people based on the size of their bank account.

I'm about to turn 50 but I look way younger. Everyone in my family does, so it's obviously genetic. As such I often get talked to like I'm SO much younger than my colleagues. Last week one of them mentioned "that's what you have to look forward to" and I was like b!tch I'm in menopause and my joints all sound like rice krispies!! :)

Listen up so you'll actually learn something..... like find out who everyone is day 1 of the shoot.

Never judge a book by its cover. Good for her.

As you should!

Can anyone explain what holes should be plugged so nobody is s******g the bed? Is this some sort of p0rn or am I not getting the euphemism?

I would have introduced the song with, “you may not have a musical ear or even know anything about music composition & theory, but in case anyone was curious, this next song is in A Minor. Hopefully not to be confused with F#.”

I can’t begin to fathom why someone would be upset about which key a song is in if they’re not the one playing it.

That is such a weird thing to criticise a song about. And unless you have perfect pitch, which is incredibly rare, no-one is going to be able to "recognise the tonality" between A and F# minor just by hearing the song

I once told a busker “you’ll go far”. In my defence, I’m almost certain he hadn’t gone 10 x platinum yet at that point.

The kitchen is where the sharp knives are *grins mischievously*

I've been playing classical guitar for 20+ years (and still suck at it). I have no idea how to make one. That's a cool skill.

And the same go-back-in-the-kitchen men are kind of schocked learning about good or even famous women chefs, acting like kkitchen is for dudes, and women should make max. salads or desserts :DDD

You know what might help? Craft a nice looking guitar outta balsa wood and smash it over the head of the next chauvinistic mansplainer who talks you down....

now go back in the kitchen and make a guitar out of a butcher block. (cutting board)

The person making $65K is also probably living beyond her means, while OP, making six figures, is being smart and living below her means. Which one do you think is going to end up better off in the long run? Also, before all the “Me Generation” horseshit, the US had a good percentage of multigenerational households. The generation that’s retired looked after the children and the house while the working generation is at their (sometime multiple) jobs, so they don’t have to pay for childcare, their kids have family in the home to look after them, and their parents/grandparents have a secure home—-which is most likely already fully paid for, so no mortgage, just taxes and upkeep—- and family with them if they need care. It’s actually a win-win-win situation.

As someone from the south, I just would've said "Bless your heart."

It's nobody else's business where you live or what you do.

Should have said if I earned only $65k, I'd have to take a 50% pay cut.

I hope she said "I think we know everything we need to know about you. Thanks for coming in!" and then excused him.

Gender has nothing to do with qualification.

I managed a nightclub for 20+ years and it was the same thing. People thought I just basically hung out at a bar for a living. No, you dumbfuck, I do: accounting, facilities, payroll, inventory, maintenance, HR, marketing, licensing... should I go on? As for OOP, anyone who can get more than three non-relatives to pay money for anything they author is doing damn well in my book. Pun intended.

Romance themed books and movies are things I avoid due to personal tastes. However, I'd never think less of the authors and screenwriters of this genre. Just composing comments here on BP is a struggle.

I love queer romance novels, and it's amazing that you get to work from home. F**k off, bitches.

All the dámn time... "oh, you should write about..." or "I've got the greatest idea for you..."

Apparently another way that strippers get condescended to a lot is by men who earn significantly less than them offering to “get them out of there” if they start a relationship with them.

To Wyatt Bower, what do you call the men who waste their money perving at strippers? Their parents failed too? Are they degenerate too? They're the other side of the same coin.
