Here's to the weird and wonderful.
I’d rather be a liar and not tell you what bothers me than being a burden and make a fool of myself by admiting how pathetic the things that bother me are

I absolutely hate customers/clients who think that just because they’re the customers they can treat the people servicing them like dirt. Just had an encounter with one today. To think this guy’s a family man. I hate to imagine that he teaches his kids to treat people as badly as he does or at the very least gives them the impression that it’s okay to treat people badly since he (their father and supposed role model) does it anyway. It’s sickening. Every time I see someone in a restaurant berating a waiter over something so small (like they forgot to add just more speck of black pepper to their meal), I wanna yell at that person and tell them that they’re awful human beings for treating a fellow human being like dirt. I’m not saying you shouldn’t file complaints whenever you receive bad service, I’m saying you should do so nicely, politely (manners matter!) and try to be understanding that the person servicing you is not perfect and makes mistakes and that even their business can’t be perfect either. For all you know, it was just an honest mistake, a mistake even YOU are capable of making if you were in their shoes. Or maybe, if they happen to inconvenience you, they’re just doing their jobs or following standard procedure and didn’t mean to offend or inconvenience you. What also sucks is that a lot of managers/bosses/employers encourage this kind of attitude in customers/ clients. They immediately punish or berate their employees when a customer gets angry (sometimes in front of the customer too!) without looking into the real cause of the issue. Unless the employee was really lax or negligent in doing his/her job, I don’t think it is right for an employer to punish the employee for a mistake that just happened to irritate a customer. We should really get rid of this whole “customer is always right” mentality in our society. It’s not creating better businesses. It’s creating a society of entitled jerks who think it’s okay to step on a fellow human being. It even goes as far as destroying people’s lives and careers. In short, it’s DESTRUCTIVE.
When you’ve tried being calm but the people have just gone too far:
I don’t even have a table to flip because you couldn’t even get a stupid table!!!
