People suck!

You know, I just don't get it.  If you make a mistake, take responsibitly for it. If something is wrong, then work with the people who can help you. But I really don't know where this whole "I'm me, so I deserve everything I ever wanted!" attitude has come from.  People are so rude and mean, and then throw temper tantrums when they don't get their way. I expect this behavior from 5 year olds, not adults. 

It just boggles my mind how people think that being rude, swearing, calling names, or otherwise being a complete dick will get their issue resolved.  I mean, I'll go out of my way to help someone who needs it and is nice. But if you're being a twat?  Yeah, sorry, buddy. 

I don't know. It just doesn't make sense to me how people can be this way.

Oh, I hate the smug customers! And I hate it when supervisors or manages give in to it. It may make the customer happy, but it sets a bad precedence and makes the associate look bad. Grrrr.

Good point about the narcissism. I think part of the problem, too, is the technology. Phones and internet are very much a single person thing. No matter how much social networking you do, you don't have to learn to compromise and play nice with others like you do in real life. It drives me nuts, because the people growing up today are missing out on vital lessons that have been important to maturing since man basically began. They don't have to interact with others to learn, and it's teaching them really bad habits.

Damn kids, get off my lawn!! *Waves cane*
