How I made the day of someone below me miserable

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

You consider housekeepers to be beneath you?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

If they would be working for me there is a clear hierarchy. Being shitty to them on top of that is just cruel.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

In this scenario you aren't their boss, you're just leaving farts in the bed to ferment and they happened to break the hermetic seal.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

And they will have to deal with them or maybe lose their job.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh but you are being shitty by equating a hierarchy to superiority.

Check your privilege, cunt.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Please, I have been nothing but nice. I have been treated badly by people for working under them. There is a clear hierarchy of power between a boss and an employee.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, from your words alone I can tell you're in a position where you have people under you, and you believe they should "know their place".

Propagating what you're claiming you experienced yourself is a surefire way to prove you are acting haughty and any of your "points" should be discarded outright.

Your words, not mine.

Well I was in a hotel once, the people there that went into my room to clean it were working for me, no?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago (5 children)

There's no such thing as "below" someone. All people are equal.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Have you worked service jobs before?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can't tell which would be worse,

You trying to say me saying everyone should be considered equal is invalid because you think I've never worked a service job.

Or you attempting to say I am below you for having worked them.

Either way, you're a cunt, so dearly fuck right off.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

~~It's a secret third option, I suspect. You stated that everyone is equal so (by my interpretation) they meant to show you the difference between theory and practice. As in "if you've ever worked in the service industry you'd have experienced first-hand that often you are not treated as an equal".~~

Everybody is equal, but many assholes don't see it that way.

Edit: nevermind. Just got to the other comments further down and am shown, again, the folly of giving the benefit of the doubt.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

that's what we like to believe, but simply believing doesn't make it come true

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

There are 2 groups of people: everyone else and the racist who are below them.

Racists don't like it because they believe their skin colour or location of birth makes them better than others.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago

not under capitalism :<

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are they? I do consider scum like Trump, Musk, Putin and fascists like them below me. Although admittedly they hardly qualify as people.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

From a moral standpoint maybe, but not an absolutist one.
