20+ infuriating comments from bosses, teachers, and other authority figures: 'So I pay you all this money just to push a few buttons'

Everyone has problems with authority figures at some point in their lives. It could be your parents when they tell you to eat your vegetables. It could be your teacher when they give you a hard time in class and assume you're not trying hard enough. Later in adulthood, this person is often your boss, who could be reprimanding you for not doing your job adequately or for not going "above and beyond." 

In some of these scenarios, the authority figures in question claim to have your best interests at heart. They may expect too much of you, but it's often because they want you to succeed and live a fulfilled and healthy life. That being said, there are other instances when these folks simply are there to remind you that they are in charge and deserve to be worshipped. These are the insecure authority figures who sense that you may be questioning their leadership. It is out of that insecure place where authority figures are wont to spew out infuriating nonsense.

Keep scrolling below for these top frustrating comments people shared from various authority figures in their lives!
