Quoth wolfie View PostI've read about a case (more than half a lifetime ago) where Football linebackers (i.e. strong guys in good shape) were called on to perform in a ballet (it was part of a study) - and had difficulty doing the things the "wimpy" male dancers did, never mind doing it gracefully.

Quoth Marmalady View PostSometimes I wonder if part of the problem is that people look at someone doing a job and think 'that looks easy' when the truth is that the person is making it look easy. Because they've been doing it for years / have read and studied / done the training courses / used their heads and learned various tips and tricks over time. The other person looks at the worker and only sees them as they are now, not what they've had to experience to get to that stage.Lady, people aren't chocolates. D'you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling. Dr Cox - Scrubs

Quoth Catwoman2965 View PostTOTALLY AGREE! I just left my PT retail job after 9.5 years. We had so many customers who thought it would be "fun" to work there. Not realizing hey, its work! Nights, weekends, holidays, NO ONE is immune. And as a closer, we have to make sure the store is pretty, empty trash, including the nasty customer bathroom, put hangers away, and swiffer and vacuum. We don't have a cleaning service, we do it ALL. Surprising how many didn't make it past a couple of months!

Quoth siskaren View PostThat's interesting because football players tend to do well on Dancing With the Stars.No trees were killed in the posting of this message.
However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

Quoth evilhomer View PostHe didn't say a thing that didn't register as white noise with me until he came up with this gem: "maybe I'll start doing this when I don't feel like using my brain anymore".

At my last job, it was an upscale store frequented by the upper class and those people so looked down their noses at us 'shop girls' (yes, I actually got called that). They came in wanting something with only a vague description and this dumb shop girl could figure out wtf they were talking about and get it for them, while they dithered about how much 'fun' it would be to work in this 'cute little store'. Those never worked hard a day in their lives would not last standing on their feet 8+ hours a day, dealing with shouty people, being called stupid because you wouldn't take back their 5 year old broken fountain pen, dealing with shoplifters, eating your lunch crouched behind a counter between the customers.
And where I am at now, I get from people that it must be just like cleaning your house but with pay. Yeah, 105 apartments that need trash pick up everyday, toilets overflowing, carpets needing cleaned, regular cleaning and praying you don't break any of their 7000 ceramic angels they have all over, constant cleaning of common areas because Lord above these people spill and drop everything. Until it died, I was using a pedometer from the time I punched in til I punched out and would log between 13,000 to 15,000 in 7 1/2 hrs. Yeah..just like cleaning my house my ass.
