I happen to be chronically ill, since i was about 17. Last time i visited my specialist, and i complained about being SO tired all the time and that it depressed me, he told me, i should view my disease and myself differently. He said: "Having Crohns disease, is like being an athlete, it's top sport for the body to deal with it, it's natural for you to be so tired,...it's the... Read More »
I hate male customers.
I work at a well known apparel store that is linked to a lingerie store...therefore we sell clothing as well as bras and panties. At our store, only managers are allowed to answer the phone. I recently got promoted to a manager and one night of closing the store, a guy named "Brad" called the store asking to speak to a manager. I told him I was one of the managers on duty that night and asked what I could help him with. He told me he was calling from the American Breast Cancer institution and was asking if I had a minute to answer a short survey about breast cancer. I agreed to do it since he said it was short. He first told me real facts about breast cancer and then proceeded to ask me questions. It first started out with simple questions about my knowledge of breast cancer....and then it started to get personal--as in "what is your bra size?", "how big is your areola?", "how often do you masturbate?" etc. I stopped him before he asked me the next question because it was getting way too personal for me to answer at work. Before I got the chance to hang up, he quickly said "I want to take your 34B breasts and put your areola in my mouth to----[hung up at that point]. Of course I was fuming afterwards because on that same day, I was harassed by a male customer who asked me what size in sexy thong was I wearing while I was trying to help him find underwear for his girlfriend. Ever since then, I always try to get someone else to help any of our male customers.
I used to be able to get back from lunch at 12:30 and know that there would be a fresh batch of uPick submissions to read, but now I have to actually do some work as it is not being updated everyday!!!!
Several years ago I worked with a overnight delivery company. It wasn't unusual to run into all sorts of dogs when you made a delivery (including nasty ones.) One day, I walked up to a lady's house where the front door was open. As soon as I rang the bell, I heard the jingle of dog tags & realized I was too far away from the vehicle to get back there in time, so I braced myself.... Read More »
I work at Wal-Mart as a Wireless Sales Associate (basically electronics), and we have this one reoccurring older African-American customer who comes in with the assumption that we are some type of IT or Geek Squad. Well anyways, he comes in about a week ago, and brings his laptop. The laptop that he has is a Compact with Windows XP (a bit outdated I must say). Anyways, he pulls... Read More »
I work private security, we have lately been having a lot of issues with access control and breaches (people not allowed to be there, being there.) so we have one officer who is in charge of training all of the officers in proper breach control. During his breach test, he failed and got a slap on the wrist. During mine, I passed but I missed a minor detail and got written up and... Read More »
