rude city people

I hear you....twice in the past couple of months I have caught two different SUVs driving through the brush our our very well posted private property. Apparently, they see our property as an off road play land. It certainly is frustrating. I hope they put some scratches in their pretty city SUVs. Wishing for a fence and electric gate or a moat and alligators.

rude people? I would take good pay over polite people any day
Besides that they have never been rude to me and I have been here for almost 2 years. What do you consider a bad account?
I know my account is a little tough, but I am used to it. I am tough!
Rude people? I hardly think so. They are some of the nicest people I have ever worked with. sm
Not just management, but QA as well. No one is rude. They are a very understanding staff. There is one account that is hard but all it takes is getting used to it. Once you are used to it, it is no harder than any other ESL account that you would do anyplace else. I have heard all these things about TH from the archives and I have yet to come across rudeness or any kind of thing that I have read about in the archives. I would definitely pursue them if I were you. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
yep, people are rude
I've had many experiences in fast food with people thinking they can just talk to me any way they please because i'm behind the register and they are having a bad day.
One place was Dunkin Donuts. This was my first week on the job (I lasted two weeks). These drunk girls came in late one night, and thought it would be fun to pick out doughnuts, have me put them in the box, then change their mind. I was back and forth with this for about 20 minutes, and they were having a good old time. It was humiliating to say the least.
Another was at Jack in the Box. Also my first week, they had me on the front counter AND drive through. That night, unbeknownst to the manager, was the Garth Brooks concert. It was me and the cook, and a line of cars wrapped around the place and in the front. Anyways, since it was just me (getting the orders wrong left and right trying to go fast...people are so picky, wanting no pickle or pickle added, they do not know there is no key on the register for that, so I basically winged it)the people had long waits, and a very angry man and his son pull up and give me an ear full...WE'VE BEEN WAITING 20 MINUTES FOR A COKE AND A DIET COKE...just swearing, yelling, and was just in a rage over this. I tried to apologize, nothing seemed to work, I couldn't calm this guy down. He slams the money down in my hands, i give him his cokes and throw his change at him running out crying. That was the last day I did fast food after working at it for about five years.
Working for the public really stinks, and its no wonder people at McDonalds are so darn rude, I really don't blame them!
Look who is rude here? You or People?

It is Aranesp...sorry for the rude people. nm

That's very rude and offensive to many people (nm)

Bad. Good pay, but bad accounts and rude people
stay away IMO
You will run across some pretty rude people around here as you've seen...(sm)
but not everyone is like the one above. Welcome. I don't have any of my own clients, but the service I work for recently lost the account I worked on pretty much out of the blue. It's a real shock to have the work yanked from you like that, and I agree it was pretty cowardly for the wife not to just come out and admit when you directly asked. I don't know what to tell you but just wanted you to know that you can expect some real nastiness around here at times, but don't let it keep you away.
Yes people can be rude here, including yourself. You just called

Wow, I'm glad I'm not a newbie. You people are rude to newbies.

People will be rude, and impose themselves, as long as you allow it. Once you put your foot down, a
It's just that it's too easy to impose on you. You have to stop them, kindly but firmly. I'm working now, and I cannot do that for you. They learn, they learn.
You're rude. That being said... Some people just work alone for a couple doctors and don't

It was rude in nature. 'Thanking' people for cherrypicking was uncalled for.

and vice versa - the people acting like a big city life consists of living in a ghetto

No, out east ... lots of rude people running the show, it seems ... sigh. nm
I agree, nasty and rude people lately, where are the grownups is correct in a former post.
I agree with all you said. I come here sometimes just to share thoughts, experiences, and to really help others as it helps me to help. There are some unnecessary, hurtful responses on here. The admin cannot police all and she should not be expected to. Have a little consideration, people, we are all in the same lifeboat here. As for leaving the profession, think about it. I have been tempted many times, have tried working in other fields but totally boring after hearing all that I've heard as an MT. I can't read a non-fiction book as it all seems so shallow and ridiculous to me. For too many years I have shared the lives of people on a real, non-fictional basis through my work. It is an interesting and informative profession and even doctors are amazed at how much information I have in this little brain of mine. I have on occasion saved many people in my family (including myself) from unnecessary harm or eary intervention. Please think about it before you leave us. As for this board, I llove it except for the nasty posts, but that's life. As we all know, it takes all kinds. Most people here belong in the helping profession. If they're in it for the money, it shows. Character shows up in the positive posts on here. We are, after all, supposed to be in the helping profession, not the kill or be-killed attitude some have. I would say most of us come in here for knowledge, friendship and just plain sharing. If we have a little laugh once in awhile, it helps, but not when it turns into a cat fight. IMHO, of course! 
why yes the quality of air where i live is quite different than where the city people live.
Lots of pollution. That's why everyone is moving away from the city and areas zoned for multiple housing units and low income housing and trailer parks. Population is dense and near manufacturing. So yes, the air is different but millions of people pay a little extra for the quality, the space and privacy afforded to those who move out of polluted crowded areas such as you defend. There is always a reason why some areas and housing is cheaper than others. Maybe it is the air and maybe it's something you can't quite put your finger on but you know you would prefer not to live in certain areas. You know what I mean or are you living in one of those areas? They tell after awhile you block out the sounds, the smells and get used to the pollution. I don't know. I didn't stay long enough to test the theory. My mental and physical health is way too important to me.

if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
There's a law in our city that you can't have more than
a certain number of pets in your yard or home. Have the neighborhood band together and sign a petition or turn him in on every tiny infraction. Get rid of the guy. Take back your neighborhood.

What city? - NM

What city is LCC out of? Do you know? (nm)
xx
what are you trying to do, build another city...
please go down about four posts and see the one titled "It never fails to amaze me" and see what happened to that train of thought and the responses to the same. You might get a clue to your answer. Have a great day. 
It's certainly UNBELIEVABLE that they'd do this the city, but
I guess I don't know enough to understand why? What could the government of NY had done to prevent this? What were the grievances? I really think we need to blame the right people here, so hopefully someone will be able to share more info on why this happened.
Kansas City, MO Thanks! nm

Why does everyone think Kansas City, MO is
Kansas City, Kansas as well, but for the most part when you hear KANSAS CITY it is referring to Missouri. The Kansas City Chiefs are in MISSOURI, not Kansas. Downtown Kansas City (the one you hear about) is in MISSOURI, not Kansas.
Those City folks
I can really relate to your situation and wanted to tell you this story.
I live at the base of a mountain. There is an RV place out here and every winter the hunters camp and .....leave aggrevation everywhere (garbage).
Yesterday i drove the 15 miles to town to the post office where they know everyone by name. I was packaging my book to mail and was listening to this conversation: A gentleman handed a change of address form to the Postmaster. He says," You just moved in that new house on the hill last fall. Is everything okay"?
Naturally everyone looks that direction. The gentleman says " We don't like that housing developement on the hill. There is way too much snow".
Continuing with his story: My wife had the kids were in the SUV and the road was covered with snow and ice. (duh, it is all winter long). She had to stop because of the herd of Elk standing on the hill in the middle of the road. She slid back down the hill and wouldn't drive up again until I came home from work".
So i have asked my husband for a snow maker!!!!!! Maybe they will all move back to the city. At the base of this hill, a herd of Elk always graze in the field. There have been many occassions i drive the grandkids that direction to watch. The 3-year-old asks to me take him to see the funny cows.
So if anyone has a spare Snowmaker please send it to me.....I would love to drive the rest of the city folk out of there!!

I'm a city girl who moved to the country a year ago, and just want to tell you we're NOT all like that! Glad your game warden & cops did that!
My family & I respect our environment and animals (neighbor's pets and wild ones)& are upset to see garbage alongside the beautiful country roads! Even went out & cleaned it up a few times (by next day it was a mess again!). We have a teen boy on our street who drives like that, too....and he's always lived here in the country!
That kid who killed the deer & tried to hit your dog will get his..."what goes around comes around".
You think we stereotype that all country people are dumb...well, aren't you stereotyping that all city people are like that family?

How do I reach them? What city are they in? Do sm
you work for them?
If within city limits, you will.
I at one time ran an ad in Yellow pages with my last name and then "Typing Service" as I was trying to get students and those needing resumes. The city called me and told me I needed a business license. It is a small percentage of the gross annual income. Then, you can display it. They also want to know if there is incoming and outgoing people, whether I would be selling a product or if it was a service and whether it will be in your home and if so, would there be traffic coming and going. I did not contact my insurance company but probably should have...(I had very little business lol).
HA, I always thought her name was the city she was from!!!!
silly to have to point that out about yourself!
I'm in AL, too! Phenix City. nm

Hey Forrest City (sm)
I grew up close to there and attended high school at FCHS. Wonder if we knew each other?
Do you mind if I ask what city...
you are working in? I live in TN and all of the jobs I have seen advertised pay under $13 per hour. I had no idea the hospitals here pay that much.
RE: Do you mind if I ask what city...
Memphis.
Depends on your city
I was first told no and now have been told that yes I do. So check with your city and they will let you know. You are running a business just as any building contractor, consultant, painter, plumber, etc. and so they are making us do this more and more. You usually pay a percentage of your earnings. But since we have no foot traffic I did not have to get the approval of my neigbors for the business. This is in Portland, OR.

I guess they don't have the public voting ready yet. It should be ready tomorrow. I will keep you posted. Thanks on the hair color. My stylist thanks you too. I can honestly say it WAS my natural color when I was 10
Y-City Star
I definitely will keep you all posted. You should be able to hear a 90-second audition clip tomorrow. The first show will be July 15th and the second July 29th. The first 20 will be narrowed down to 8 and then the winner. This is a lot of fun and I am definitely singing for "All the Girls" I was never one to get up in front of people and talk much less sing. Finally got the courage. THANKS FOR THE VOTES!! 
Is that the wendy city??

I believe that would be TNI, LLC, a company, not a city. nm

How would the city or your neighbors know
you supposedly ran a business out of your home. Do you have employees, a parking lot at your home to have the employees park there, overhead including insurance to cover disability in case 1 of the employees has an accident on the job. First of all, no neighbor of mine knows I have a business (if you want to call it that, I don't) but secondly if someone from the city came by asking questions the answer would be I don't know. In fact I had the city to come by 1 time to inquire about work I had done inside my house, told me they needed to come in and I said no to them. Never heard another word about that. I do not know what kind of work the person on the right or left does, oh I do know 1 lady said she works for IRS and that is that. She might have a zoo in her home for all I know. I would never think about putting myself on the line to say I need license. Bunch of crock.
in Ohio, don't remember the city though and right
now the name of the company escapes me. I do know that there is a company with the same name that advertises here, but they are in NJ I think.
Thank you for the info--what city in California?
That isn't as good as I'd expect.
and he as mayor of that city had no responsibility at all?
Such convoluted logic. Believe me, he's doing a great job of pointing the finger of blame and ducking responsibility on his own without any help from you.
Have you taken a course? Do you live in a town/city that - sm
maybe you could get some PRN work or part time work to get your resume started?
