When I was learning to run/manage an eBay store for my dad's ex boss I had to constantly put up with the business owner's personal questions while I was at my computer trying to get my work done. One day I just fucking snapped and told her son, which was my boss, "handle your mom, I'm here to work not chit chat about my personal life." Well, that didn't go over well. Her, her husband and their son told basically told me "apologize and get back to work or there is the door" I said "I am not here for unsolicited advice" punched out and left. Rich Jews. They give approximately zero fucks about how they treat people.

I know its a stereotype about rich jews... but why is it more often than not true? There are a ton of jews in my industry and most drive ridiculous cars and live in ridiculous houses.

I have no problem with them as people, but why are they all so rich?

My summers home from college i worked in my friend's mom's book store. This was in oklahoma. We normally worked in shipping and receiving but occasionally had to work out front and do customer service and man the phones.

So we had a running thing where if someone called and we had to answer we would pick up and say 'booooooooooook stooooooore' in the most exagggerated oklahoma drawl possible. Then they'd ask if a book was available, we'd say 'hode on', put the phone down, pick it up a minute later, say 'nope', and hang up. It was amusing at the time (teenagers).

One day, the phone rings, I answer and say 'booooooooooooooook stoooooooooooooore' and it is my friend's mom/my boss.

Job over lol

I know everyone is reading that and also saying "booooooooooook stooooooooooore" out loud in a heavy southern accent.

If you're not, do it. It makes the story that much more hilarious.

I believe its more of a rich people mentality than anything else. Lots of rich people think that everyone will or has to take their shit just because of being rich. I don't play that shit. They are not bad people generally speaking, I mean they borrowed my dad way over a Million bucks to buy one of the buildings where we have a store. He worked for them for over 30 years and made them a lot of money so they treat him like a son.

I know a silver spoon up the ass rich kid who gets a new car every year and is the typical "if I dont get my way I *****". he's my age at 22. I went to his superbowl party and he is in mad love with Manning and it was a "bronco" party so I rocked my Seahawks hat and he got so pissed that he told me to "put your hat in the fucking garage or get out" so I laughed. He was serious so I got in his face and told him I can wear whatever the **** I want and then he started being nice to me.

At first I was sympathetic to the plight of the posters, but the more I read the more I favor the people that fired you

Have you planned your funeral yet? You may want to before the dementia makes you forget your name.

Yes, on multiple occasions, though I think some places would claim I rage quit.

My first job the owner accused me of theft because the register was short the next morning. I told her she miscounted, which she likely did, because she was a ducking idiot. Looked like Virginia McCaskey. Anyway, I was innocent, but she told me if I told her who else was stealing she wouldn't press charges. I told her she couldn't do shit and kicked the door open as I left.

Second job, a new manager came in and fucking hated me. Think it was because I had as much authority as him. Started cutting my hours for no reason whatsoever. I went from 38 to fucking 12. I snapped on that asshole and told his fat ass to pull the trucks around himself if he thought he did so much around the place. We got into a verbal altercation and I went down in a blaze of glory, throwing my uniform at him and kicking out one of the box displays as I left. Technically, I quit supposedly.

Another job, they accused me of stealing, but didn't have any proof. I denied the allegations. They let me go but it was without cause according to unemployment. I was ripping them off something fierce. Note to employers: If you want employees to be loyal and not steal, treat them fairly and give them a liveable wage, especially when they're busting their ass. And don't **** around with their benefits so you can save money.

So on the second one, do went storming out naked?

LOL, no, the pants and undershirt were mine. I just took off my shirt and name badge and threw it at him. Threw the store keys too. The customer that was in the store seemed to think if he didn't move, he wouldn't be noticed. It was an epic rage quit. I still fucking hate that guy.

A little back story on that one, he saw one of my pay stubs and apparently it was about $10 less than his in 30 less hours. But I had OT on that check. So it wasn't exactly a standard paycheck.

The ironic part is that I can afford my funeral while you can't afford yours, shit for brains
