‘You should’ve served US better and died!’ Debt collector berates disabled veteran

55. The only thing that counts these days is the 18-35 demographic

And I have plenty of friends in that age bracket. They have been good to me and I love them to bits.

Speaking personally, many would ask me about 9/11 (relative to JFK's assassination and whether the world was as shaken as it was in 2001) and other things, and I'd always try to be nonjudgmental. As a matter of fact, the highest compliment my nearly 8-years-younger sister ever paid me was "I know we can talk about (whatever it was) because you're nonjudgmental".

It seems that over the years simple courtesy has gone by the board. Whether driving or waiting in line at the supermarket or dining in a restaurant.

I was in customer service for 30 years, and I can't tell you how aggravating it is to see jerks getting nasty to staff. We all get testy from time to time, but what does it benefit you to berate a - say - supermarket checker because the line is long. The employee has nothing to do with staffing, and I happen to be behind you in line, butthole, and have to listen to you complain on top of everything else. I always say something to the employee when I move up in the line like "that person was a complete jerk and you handled yourself very well."

Sorry to rant, but I really believe any worker trying to do his job is entitled to the same respect as a CEO (well, more these days).

Oh, Lord love a duck. Whatever that means.
