Why me?!

[slleipnir]

I just don't get why people need to do that. I was fine with the first person, but then it just got too much after the THIRD person in one day started off on me.

Yeah some poeple like to try to upset others intentionally, they seem to get a kick out of it. I don't understand why anyone ever does that either. Just makes me love my pets even more because they never do stupid things like that!

Change the subject. They don't want answers from you - they don't care. Don't even try to answer them. Change the subject.

And get yourself one of those signs and post it where they can see it: "The more I know about men, the more I love my dogs."

(hmmm....you could tell them that you'll grow out of your pets when THEY grow out of VLTs and beer. LOL)

I know those kind, it took me a while to learn how to fight back, then fighting back was all fun & games to me & they left upset, loosers!!

Any form of retail/waiter kind of job is always bad. You need to learn how to ignore those people, when they make mean comments like that. I like using

ya ya, whatever (roll the eyes)

I'm happy what do you care?

Why, do you want me to be more like you & unhappy with my life to the point I have to try to make others around me sad? no thanks, I like being happy & loved.

Whatever you do, do not get upset & defend yourself, thats just feeding the fire. I also just stopped telling stragers about my pets. As listening to people saying I should kill my snapper is quite annoying. I only talk to people who bring up pets on their own or ask my intrests & seem to really want to know about my pets. & if someone else joins in & tries to get nasty with me about my pets, I tell them off (with one of tha bove statements hehe)...



Being treaded like a child or like your dumber then a post is overly annoying!! When I was at the post office customers thought I was 14yrs old & I was 21-23yrs old! Some were good about it, while others saw just a child behind the counter

I had so many people get into the other line up where Barb was (she was in her 40s) & would make comments about my age or Barb having more experience then me. It was always funny when Barb would ask me for help. Those people would get upset & would ask for Barb's manager to assist her & NOT me. So I would walk into the backroom, come out & introduce myself as the manager, supervisor, staff trainer & give my cradentials (ummm ya really bad spelling) & awords I've won in the post office & blah blah blah. Barb LOVED it everytime I would stomp on these @$$'s!! She would even pretend she didn't know what she was doing so I could tell the customers off HA HA HA

& don't even get me started on verbally abusive customers, cause its 1 thing when they go at me, but DO NOT do that, to any member of my staff casue I would litterly turn red & breath fire! Barb said its too funny to see me blow up, casue I'm really a sweet person & you wouldn't think I would turn so ugly so quickly, not to mention scare the hell out of the customer to the point they leave, YAY! There is a no customer BS policy with Canada Post, so I never got in doo doo, aslong as I called Canada Post ASAp to report what happened.


hmmm.. I type too much

Oh gosh, people like that shouldn't wate time gabbing on a subject that they CLEARLY know nothing about.

Grow out of pets? Will that guy ever grow out of his ego?

I think that you handled that situation really well though, much better than I could have done. They'd have found themselves being kicked out of the place on their...erm..*behinds* if I'd have been you

[Suki Wingy]

one thing- do you think you look vulnerable of like they think they could manipulate you and make you get upset?

[lizbud]

Just ignore their stupid remarks, they are trying to get a reaction
from you. If all else fails, just try to find something else to do around
the place where you keep working.
