You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible



People who say unions are better than no unions have never been a part of a lovely union.

Or seen employees abuse the union system by being lovely employees because they know they won't get fired for it. I saw way more of it from that side of things when I worked for a grocery store in high school and college than I ever saw the union actually protect the rights of an employee.

For content: People that don't follow traffic laws and patterns in an effort to be polite. No, you should not stop in the middle of the road just because I am waiting to turn across your lane of traffic. You stopping just made both of us get where we were going slower because I had to figure out that you were stopping and wait for you to try to let me go, whereas if you just kept driving I could have turned sooner and you'd be past me already. You're also risking an accident of anyone behind you. Just drive.

The union I was a part of:

Let the company cancel our raises.

Allowed the company to restrict the use of previous unrestricted sick days (i.e. if you had 12 sick days, you could only call in sick using 9 of those. The other
3 had to be scheduled in advance)

One year, the company suddenly announced, in Dec, with no warning, that personal time would only be given out the following year at month that corresponded with your hire date (i.e. if you were hired in Jan., that's when you'd get your time. But if you'd been hired in Nov., you'd have to wait until then.) So a lot of employees, who'd used up their "use it or lose it" time, expecting to get it back at the start of the year, got screwed.

Me, personally, I transferred to another dept. Now I was making more in my old dept, and per union contract, would keep that pay. The company said I'd have to take a pay cut. I went to the union. Union came back and said, nope, I'd have to take the pay cut even though in previous instances, that hadn't happened to other employees.

Now here's the kicker, there were two different unions with this company. One that represented the "rank and file", (like myself) the other represented the "Professionals". The "Professionals" union had rejected, at various times, all of the above, and the company dutifully acquiesced.

Oh, and then one year that we were to vote on a new contract, they gave all the union stewards the week off of the vote so they wouldn't be around to answer any questions.

People who sit on your bag instead of finding an empty seat or asking you to move them. I wouldn't even believe this was a thing if I hadn't experienced it myself on multiple occasions. Not even on crowded buses/trams/trains. There can be multiple empty seats and some dickhead will still try to sit on top of someone else's stuff. Their thought process is incomprehensible to me.

I feel like this all the time even if i'm going like 2-23. It's their fault for not covering me as I charge out into the same place I got killed the last 23 times.

What really winds me up is when I know I'm still at fault. Sometimes in dota we'll cock up our lane slightly, and it's all "okay, three deaths, that's less than ideal, but we should be alright if the other guys are.... they're loving 0-10"

They just need to not be totally incompetent! I'm only minimally poo poo why can't you be too!

Holy Moly! DARKSEID IS!

Customers who walk up and interrupt while I’m with another customer. I don’t give a flying poo poo if I’m the only employee you’ve seen on the store floor, I’m behind a counter/restricted area (because I don’t work on the floor EVER, something that’s patently obvious where I work) but more importantly I’M HELPING SOMEONE ELSE. Wait your gee dee turn you entitled son of a bitch.

Interrupters are typically men over 50, followed by elderly women who look like they have some money, and vastly are white. And you better believe it’s more likely to happen when the customer I’m with isn’t, or is a younger woman.

Yeah, you try to be nice, but that just makes them latch on like lampreys.
Because the second they notice any kind of support they just lounge, because they know they can likely get what they want from you, with no consideration of anyone but themselves.

Even worse the ones that drat near poo poo themselves when you show any problem of stress in your life.

It's like "motherfucker, I listen to you bitch about your ex all the time, let me bash the poo poo of a pallet with a crowbar because I'm working through a few things this doesn't concern your candyass" but they act like they caught you banging their mom and are all :airquote:uncomfortable :airquote:.

Or they invalidate your feelings by telling you they have it so much harder.

Another people who can go gently caress themselves: the ones who base their entire personality around being introverted, as this apparently makes them very special fragile people. I say this as a chronically shy and awkward person, there's gotta be more to your life than the fact that sometimes you're bad at being social.
