What is WRONG with some people?!!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Chocoholic · 08-28-2003, 04:21 PM

A rude lady laughed at me and made fun of me at work last night. It's because I have several physical handicaps. WTF? An adult like her should know better than to make fun of a disabled child! (I'm 22, but look much younger.) I've been a cashier there for over four years, so I must be doing something right. Stupid idiots!

I was so pissed off and upset that I cried to my friend there, who told me that woman is rude to everyone. I told her that if that customer laughs at me again, I'm telling that stupid bitch off!

Ugh thats just wrong. You should bitch her out next time. Or squeeze all her tomato's and squish her bread. Not that Ive ever done that before.....

Crimson and Clover · 08-28-2003, 04:27 PM

Im sorry that happened. That was really wrong what she did. Some people just dont know when to shut the hell up.

I know. My mom works with mentally disabled people, and they went to an amusement park. People there, she said were very rude!

I am 13 and I would never make fun of disabled people who are just the same as someone without disablities.

Janice · 08-28-2003, 05:07 PM

I'm sorry that happened to you. That lady deserves a whack.

There ought to be a law against that. Is there a law I wonder?

TheHappyBurgerMeister · 08-28-2003, 05:08 PM

That lady had NO right to do that to you! She should not be allowed back in the store. One of my best friends is physically handicapped. She has arthritis. She is 19 like me, but looks much younger. She is a VERY smart and intelligent person though. You or anyone else does not deserve to be treated like that!!

Bad_Company · 08-28-2003, 05:14 PM

Im sorry that person was so mean to you. But you have to face that the world is full of A$$ holes. They can say what they want but they can never take away the love in your heart. You are the better person and you can rise above the hate.

Yes! It's called, The Law Of Common Decency.

Shrug the rude lady off as well as you can, Snoopy.

I know that every employer is required by law to provide a safe workplace environment, from both a physical and mental standpoint.
Since harrassment is illegal, your employer has a legal obligation to deal with this issue.
I would issue a complaint with the company, and I would also contact the agency that handles the American Disabilites Act (ADA). Don't let your employer brush this off.
Nobody, disability or not, should have to be subjected to any form of abuse, yet I suspect there must be a provision that offers extra protection for those with disabilites.

BrandonS · 08-28-2003, 05:29 PM

So sorry this happened to you. I guess you have to draw the line somewhere and not accept any ill treatment beyond that point. It's good that you decided to tell her off if it happens again. If your manager is any kind of human being at all, he will back you up. If not, you may want to start looking for a more supportive work environment. Good luck.

ConservativeBalla · 08-28-2003, 05:31 PM

Ugh, that's pathetic. I could see how young children might laugh because they don't know better, but an adlut woman? That is idiotic.

phoebe7165 · 08-28-2003, 05:33 PM

Snoopy, you know how I feel about the general public's treatment towards people who work retail. So much for Americans being nicer to each other post 9/11. People who have never worked retail think they can take their bad day and bad mood in your store and take it out on the next person they face, and that unfortunately is you. These people have no idea what it's like working on the other side of the counter. Oh, how I wish I was behind her in line. I'd pull an Antonio(you know what I mean!). I'm sorry you had to encounter such a cold hearted shrew who either has something shoved you know where or to make herself feel better, she needs to belittle somebody else.

Chocoholic · 08-28-2003, 05:36 PM

Thanks for your support, guys.

I'm not taking any more crap from customers for being disabled. If they don't like me, then they can just stay the

out of my line!

Tuesday Weld · 08-28-2003, 05:42 PM

Kristen,that was really terrible what that

did to you.I'm so sorry there are unfeeling people out there.I hope you do get the chance to tell her off.
