FB suckage. Would you block these people?

Some of the funny spellings are because of it coming from a different language. I know of four different spellings for Jackdaw's name. (Without getting really creative). One of the four if I saw I'd assume was someone trying to be original. Two of them are the more common ones. The way Jackdaw spells his name isn't uncommon either. And it's not one of the "odd spellings that caught on". Just a different ethnic background. His extended family keeps using a "k" in my name instead of a "c". (I do the opposite to them, so it works out). German vs. English spellings.

I've heard it both ways. Usually, though, the person using the two hard A's (that sounds like a porn movie) is being pretentious.

Actually, she was a middle-aged Indian lady who lived next to us for 15 years, & used to trade plates over the fence in BBQ season (our Greek salads & BBQ seafood in exchange for samosas & chapatis) I missed her & her husband, Rahj, when they moved to Australia to live with their daughter

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..."

And just because there are people who work at Walmart and have degrees it doesn't mean everybody with a degree will work there or that it is a desirable job for a person with a degree or whatever the point is in the examples of educated people working at Walmart.

And just because there are rude people who work at Walmart, it doesn't mean that everybody at Walmart is rude.

It's this sort of throw-away hurtful comment that should be held up to the light and shown to be unacceptable from anybody.

The person that was rude deserves to be bitched about, but that should never include everyone else the person works with.

they're always helping out at churches and camps and stuff

that's entirely possible. keep in mind at those groups, they're known. So how they act will have an effect on how the others treat or accept them. think of it as an accountability factor, with a bonus of better standing for helping more etc.

but... when it comes to employees... they might never see that employee again. Or they might be thinking of the employee as a servant rather than an equal.


it sounds like perhaps they just need a reminder that... a sign of a greatness isn't in how you treat your betters, equals, or people you're trying to impress...

a sign of greatness is when there's no reward - but you do it anyway.


and if that doesn't work just quote hamlet to them:

Use them after your own honour and dignity: the less they deserve, the more merit is in your bounty.

This is how I judge my dates, coincidentally.

saw them being nice to their girlfriends but treated the waitress like meat.
