FB suckage. Would you block these people?

Asshats.

My sister has an Associate's degree. She worked at a Wally World before she moved back home. There just weren't a lot of places hiring in the small town she was living in then. She's not stupid!

To be fair, person #1 did correct herself in a comment (I usually just delete the status and start over if I've made a mistake) and she's in college at the mo. Still makes typos on a daily basis though. And she works retail/food service so I'd think she'd be more understanding of . . . whatever my colleague did. I wish she'd at least explain what was so damn 'rude'. Gah.

I'm just not a confrontational person. I see these people on a fairly regular basis as my nephew is good friends with the family and I don't wanna start shit, but at the same time I feel I should say something because I'm tired of people acting like we're a bunch of fucktards in blue shirts who are there because we can't do any better. It sounds corny, but my Voldemart people are like my second family. We go out to lunch together, we go to each other's houses, cry on each other's shoulders. We're not a bunch of nose picking fuckwits.

The great thing about Voldemart and jobs like the one I formerly had is you can go to college, work at Voldemart (as full time as they'll allow you to be) AND be on welfare!

Its a three hitta-quitta!

Ask those two how they expect people without a trust for college to PAY for college, without leaving with 50-100k (min) in debt?

edit: and unless thats a typo, person #1 could stand some college herself. I honestly hate it when people make me made!!! Don't let a bunch of close-minded haters get to you.

What I find funny about that is that these are the same people that would likely be bitching about you anyway if you were to quit and then go on welfare. It's like damned if you do, damned if you dont. Either way you're a lazy, stupid loser. But I guess if you're gonna be called that regardless you might as well mooch off of them and make them pay your way.

I wouldn't block them because it would seem that there is way too much fun to be had at their expense.

And have it I would.

I'd just ask them to clarify if that applies to you, because you DO have college under your belt and you DO work there and if that's how they think, what do they think of you?

I'd do it very publicly.

You'll also get the occasional person who means well when they look at you with pity and ask if you've ever thought about going to college to "improve yourself". *sigh* I have a college degree and retail was my p/t second job. I liked to tell such people that retail helped me pay off my student loan, my car, and helped me be debt-free. Then I asked them how many people could say THAT.

Sorry if this seems bizarre, mods will move/do as they see fit. But I recently spotted this little gem on my FB page and it pissed me off to high heavens.

Person#1: "People who work at Walmart are rude. This lady just really made me made!"

Person#1's mother: "just be thankful YOU dont have to work there! See you NEED COLLEGE...that way you dont have to work at Walmart and be rude to ppl...haha..."

These two people are nice otherwise, but they KNOW I work at Voldemart, and they KNOW I have a year of college. It makes me fucking mad that people assume that all of us who work there are talentless, no good high school dropouts with no ambition. There are lots and lots of very decent and wonderful people in my workplace that I've come to love and call friends. Many of us have college and there are a few that came from better careers but ended up downgrading to a retail job because of the economy. I'm just incredibly pissed at this attitude . . . these people are always bitching about how much they hate Voldemart and everything to do with it, yet they keep shopping there.
