While not all occupations are ideal, they enable you to pay your bills and make ends meet, therefore we should never criticize someone based solely on their line of work. Most likely, every diligent person strives to support both themselves and their family. So, how would you respond if a young, entitled employee willingly showed up for work and declared that the job was not worth his time and effort?

The story that follows is the tale of a grumpy yet diligent worker. An arrogant adolescent who had come to work approached the Original Poster (OP) while they were door-to-door marketing. He stated that he would not be at this work for very long because he was confident in his abilities and that he planned to pursue higher education. Even so, he didn't hesitate to express his distaste for the job as soon as he started working there, ignoring the potential repercussions on his relationships with his coworkers.

Naturally, OP decided to teach the arrogant teen a lesson after growing tired of him. So, if you're curious about what transpired between OP and the entitled teen and how OP got even, make sure to read the story below! After you're through, don't forget to read the story of the pushy guy who approached a fellow traveler on the plane and asked to trade seats so he could sit next to his wife!

    It was my earliest job, an the worse one I've ever worked, I had to go door getting people to sign up for double glazing on their windows, literally one of the worst jobs I've had. Nobody is happy to see double glazing salespeople turn up unannounced at their door. I powered through it and did what I could, trying as

    much as possible to make people wanna buy those double glazing. The team I worked with was all right too, we had fun an joked around and stuff. Doing the best we could out of a very difficult job. It was summer an super hot out. Boiling. Luckily we all had water, our manager bought us all large bottles of drinks from the gas

    annoying but we tried to ignore him. So this AH drinks an entire bottle of Mountain Dew soda straught from the bottle, the only one our manager bought an leaves none for anyone else. Not even thinking we'd like some too. He drank a whole bunch of water too. Annoying I was partnered with him for the next round of house calls-hoping together we could get a sale.

    Later we're calling at houses on an almost deserted suburban area, basically nobody there-but work says we gotta cover it all anyway because there's intel on a lot of work people might need doing or something. After a while this guy starts complaining about needing the bathroom. I roll my eyes an tell him we'll try an ask at the next place we come too.

    No way is he urinating in public whilst we're working, especially with the company logo on our backs. Eventually, we come to an older guy pressure washing his windows. Time for petty revenge. I talk to this guy for ages, like really dragging out the sales pitch as the AH gets increasingly uncomfortable. Starting to squirm around an put his

    thighs together-trying not to make it too obvious that he's gotta go. The guy pressure washing his windows as we talk isn't helping at all. I make sure to take as long as I can talking to the man, knowing full well the AH is bursting to go. The old guy patiently listens an seems to notice the guy squirming around. The old gut even asks follow up questions about the

    "I'm gonna stop there because I need a bathroom break soon. Any questions?" I liked my boss, but we had fun and joked around with each other all the time so I raised my hand. He nodded to me so I reached for the pitcher of water on my table and slow-poured a

    eggstacee . 2 hr. ago I might hold the title of sh iest job. When I was young and pregnant in the 80s, I coldcall tried to sell lightbulbs over the phone. In my short stint there, I never sold 1 bulb. I didn't know anyone else working there who did. What I took from that was that people love to hate on and mistreat cold call sales people.
