DON'T KILL THE MESSENGER!!

Namaste. Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to join me today. Let's jump right in... I'm gonna keep this pretty short.

I've talked to a lot of people who do work or have worked in call centers and other service industry jobs. It is painful to hear time after time the abuse that these poor people have to put up with from asshole customers. It seems to me that there are a lot of these ASSHOLES out in the public. What makes an otherwise "normal" person act so heinous towards a complete stranger. It's like that movie "Waiting"... by now you really aught to know NOT to fuck with the people that prepare your food. But why should that be any different than when you are on the phone talking with someone in a call center who is GENUINELY TRYING TO HELP YOU?
It seems to me that the cowards out there who are call center assholes don't generally have the sack to act that way to someone's face... but like a lot of things, I have been known to be wrong from time to time... in fact, upon further thought, I think it IS the SAME people who call and yell and scream at strangers on the phone that act like assholes to people at businesses, restaurants, and other service industry jobs.
Why is it that people have to be rude to one another? There is obviously some sort of jaded agenda and lack of respect for others... probably stems from a lack of SELF respect for his/her self that is choosing to act like a shit head instead of a decent, respectful human being.
I know sometimes it is easy to lose your temper, especially since many call center jobs have been outsourced to places like India and you cannot go to many service industry places without being overrun with non-English speaking Hispanics... but this is NO REASON to be hateful. We live in a diverse world full of great people... that does NOT warrant being a dick, though.

Regardless of the reasoning (which there is NONE), it is up to YOU as an individual to CONTROL YOUR BEHAVIOR, regardless of the surrounding circumstances. It is NOT anyone else in the entire universe's fault for how YOU act, but YOURS. I keep talking about KARMA and it's gonna bite a lot of people in the ass who mistreat their fellow human beings. Again, it doesn't matter how much YOU wish for good things in your life... if you act good, good things will happen in return. If you act badly, bad things will happen in return. It's a really simple rule, but it is human nature for many to lie, cheat, steal, and generally act like a piece of shit toward others. Perhaps we should all work on that because it is our ability to CONTROL our emotions and NOT just act on instinct, but with thought, respect, and humanity that makes us different and BETTER than the animals whom we are SUPPOSED to shepherd rather than slaughter.
Don't hate the player... hate the game. Don't kill the messenger!! Sometimes it might just be good news or someone who is WILLING and ABLE to help you. Don't be so quick to think that this person is inferior or stupid... the fact that YOU are calling THEM or asking them for help should show you where the intelligence lies... just saying. If you don't like having to deal with other people, perhaps you should just SHUT THE FUCK UP AND DO IT YOURSELF!!! No one wants to deal with "THAT GUY" who is an asshole for no good reason to complete strangers. If you're that guy or girl who does this... from all those in the service industry and ANYONE who has had to deal with these rude people: FUCK YOU, Mr. ASSHOLE!
This has been the Quiet Mouse. Keep your behavior in check. If you think you are going to be rude, then just shut up and say nothing. Pretty simple. No one wants to hear all the B.S.
