Comment on Living a lie
jballs@sh.itjust.works 3 days agoIt’s always a shock to me when I interact with someone providing customer service that is t using a customer service voice.
I was checking into a hotel (a large chain too) a while back and the person checking me in was having some trouble. She goes “sorry, this system is just retarded some times.”
I actually laughed out loud because it caught me so off guard.

That’s how I talk! Maybe not those words, but yeah, I talk to them like a friend-of-a-friend who called for help. I SO love getting someone like that on the phone. When I realize I’m talking to a human that gives two fucks, my attitude lines right up, even if I started mad. Amazing how people react when treated like people.
Lemmy: I’m autistic and need a 254-page manual as to how to smile correctly.
No, you’re not autistic, you were robbed of human social interaction by schools and society. There’s nothing wrong with your brain, you’re not special, you’re a victim (sorta, get over it), STFU.
And the next waiter or waitress that says, “Absolutely sir!”, gets punched. These people have an instruction book that mandates “absolutely”?! I humbly ask for some salt. “YES SIR ABSOLUTELY SIR WOULD YOU LIKE A BLOWJOB SIR?” “Just some salt would be nice enough. Thank you.”
