Thread: How do you deal with being read the riot act?

It's worth putting up with shit now and then and acting like the polite pushover.
    Where do you work?

  2. Honestly, I smile and nod and take it. Then I remember it for all time and strike back tenfold at the appropriate time.

    Payback is a bitch, and I never forget if somebody wrongs me. Never. If it takes me ten years, then so be it.

    That said, either it takes quite a bit to "wrong" me, or I have just been lucky in life because I can count the number of people on my bad side on one hand.

    A hotel. Front desk.

    Customer service is kind of supposed to be my thing, see...

  5. I never wanted to be president
    cause its nothing but an ego trip, yeah
    I didn't want your education
    cause its nothing but a pile of shit

    You bore me to death, so shut up
    For gods sake

    Stop reading me the riot act
    While my brains are still intact
    You say its raining, but you're pissing down my back
    So stop reading me the riot act

    I couldn't listen to a word you said
    This going nowhere thing is wearing thin
    When your sex, your drugs, and your valid vic
    Is just the spit I wipe off my chin

    I'd rather go nowhere than not know where its at

    The riot act


    Not only did I have to fix grammar and spelling errors up the ass, I checked out five different spots, and they all stated the same thing for the part that I bolded. I always thought he was saying "valedict", like a shortened version of Valedictorian. Hmm.

  6. Look at Mars playing the typical woman. If you bark up to my level without trying to solve the problem internally I'd fire you first. Handle your own problems unless your job or body are threatened.

    Thx.

  7. My answer reflects a real experience of mine, where it took numerous reports to my worker's union and regional manager to get the supermarket I was working for in the dead of winter to fix their heat...and the exit door which was always open because it was broken..which were right by the registers.

    We'd complain to the manager and actually get yelled at. This wasn't some poor-ass neighborhood either, he just didn't give a shit that the front end was routinely 22 degrees or lower.

    Sometimes you just won't get anywhere with the douche you're dealing with. This is true most often with customer service issues. A few phone calls to the regional manager or to a corporate service line will go much further.

  9. I can't remember the last time it happened to me. I think it shows a lack of intelligence to believe any good will come out of speaking to anyone with such little respect. Any good boss I've ever had knows their staff well enough to solve problems without acting like a douchebag.
