In general, I don't like people. I worked customer service jobs for years before becoming disabled and I'd rather shoot myself in the foot than go back to it. For some reason, people tend to get abusive with you if they can't see you more often than if they encounter you face to face. I would love nothing more than to be able to move out into the middle of nowhere and stay there. Some days I can tolerate people and some days I can't. I was in Wal Mart the other day and some woman was screeching at the manager because the manager wouldn't allow the woman to return some ink cartridges she had bought. Now I won't pretend to know what all this was about, but I do know that listening to the woman yelling at the manager really embarrassed me. The manager finally had to threaten to call security. Plain and simple, it was a temper tantrum on the part of the woman wanting to return the ink. She began to act like a spoiled child when she didn't get her way. It makes me embarrassed for the whole human race. Too many people act like this whey they don't get their way. Now I can understand getting upset if you have been wronged. I've been wronged before and I have always managed to resolve it in a civilized manner. Yelling, name calling and threats don't fix things. And if you get your way because of doing these things, it's simply because the person you are dealing with has figured out you have the emotional maturity of a 5 year old and given up on you.
