This is in no way meant to be disrespectful to all teachers. Nor do I intend to offend the members of this board who are in the education field. But it seems that the biggest entitlement whores I have run into since working at the bent staple, have been teachers.
Most of them are very pleasent. I'm always recommending books I read when I was in the grade they taught, and alot of them are happy that my teachers had a student like me who loved reading and writing as much as I do. I've had a particularly good relationship with teachers who have Asperger's students in their classes.
But every so often I get gems like this one from two days ago.
Teacher Entitlement Whore = TEW
TEW's Husband = TEWH
Oh look honey! He's doing his best Cujo impression by frothing at the mouth. How very rea-aaaaah! = Me
TEW buys two folders.
TEW: (In a more authoritative than inquisitive tone) Now those are supposed to be five cents, right?
Me: *Looks at price* Er, they're actually 1.98 each.
TEW: But they were five cents in August.
Me: *Thinking* And this is November, your point?
TEW: I'm a teacher and my friend says she got twenty of these for five cents.
Me: Yes, ma'am. That was during the back-to-school sale. Teachers with a rewards card get to buy more than the limit for regular customers.
TEW: *Whining* Oh, well can you give me some kind of discount on these?
Me: If they were damaged, I could take a few cents off.
TEW: Well were they damaged?
Me: *Thinking* You just brought them to me, wouldn't you notice any damager? *Outloud* No ma'am, I'm sorry, they're in good condition from what I can see.
TEWH: Well, how much are they?
I repeat the price.
TEWH: *To his wife* So just pay the man.
Me: *thinking* Can I marry you sir?
TEW: But they're sooooo expensive.
Oh my god. This woman looks old enough to be my grandmother and she just whined like a five year-old. She paid for the folders, but not without whining about how much they cost and how unfair it was that everything was so expensive.
