“A parent tried to request a personal budget through their child’s special needs plan. They wanted money to pay for their spa days and horse because they have to spend their money on their child, and it is stressful.”

"Fast forward to the end of the night, I bring him his tab to sign. One of the bottle rats was sitting practically on top on him and when he wrote in the gratuity on his tab for me, she literally grabbed the tab & pen, scratched out the tip and put ZERO, threw it at me and said “he’s not giving you any money”. His jaw was on the floor and I could tell he was mortified and trying to figure out what to do. I reassured him it was not a problem and looked forward to seeing him again. Without missing a beat, I smiled, started cleaning Red Bull cans off of the table and “accidentally” dropped a full one all down her leg onto her suede Louboutin‘s. While she was losing her mind, screaming at me, he snuck off…after he left the tip and even doubled the amount."

I worked a lot and took care of my parents. I lived with my parents who had serious health issues and she’d wake up everyone calling at all hours. I told her to stop and to not call after a certain time unless it was a real emergency, not because she and her mom had a fight or her latest fling and her had a fight. She’d call my mom while I was at work, complain about me, and then call me at work to say my mom complained about me. My mom told her to grow up and if she had issues with me to talk to me, Not my mom. "

I was able to get a company to clear the snow, but they were busy with regular customers and extra customers like me to help. The supervisor wanted to leave early Saturday and wanted me to come in early to cover most of his shift! I left within 10 minutes of the snow being cleared. I should have stayed home the entire day to spite him. "

"Weeks later, I was coughing up blood and almost passed out. The ER doc wrote a long note to my manager with a list of symptoms. If I ever felt even one, I was to go to the ER immediately, and if she gave me a hard time he’d personally and medically hold her responsible and press charges against her. He made a deal with me that if I stayed home to rest the next two days (Thursday and Friday), he wouldn’t admit me to the hospital. This was included in my medical note. She tried to write me up on Monday for those two days. I was so done with her. I got an evening job that paid more."

"Another time when I was really sick, I got my shifts covered and the supervisor told me not to come into work; to rest and get better. He knew I was sick. The manager called and texted me, yelling at me to go into work! I had a high fever, body aches, chills, coughed so hard I vomited, had no energy and felt like crap. I pushed myself to go into a walk-in clinic and almost fell a few times I was so weak. While I waited for the prescriptions to be filled, I texted a picture of the medical note to the manager and included the supervisor. The note also said I was not to go to work until I was fever-free. My supervisor texted back asking why I texted him, because he knew I was sick. I replied that the manager yelled at me to get to work! The supervisor asked my manger why she was doing this! She replied that she didn’t know I was so sick. Other staff asked me to work because they didn’t want to. Boo hoo!"

"He ended up grumbling and buying his cigarettes. He ended up apologizing about this a few months later and explaining it wasn't completely his fault because of some stuff that was really messing up his year (let's just say I hope to never see a gunshot wound on the back of someone's head a second time), but still makes me wonder how he would have acted normally."

"Even the supervisor told her—all that they needed was to clean up from supper. She refused. 99% of the time she stayed outside to smoke and be on her phone. She didn’t clean or do laundry. It all was left to me even though she was there HOURS before I was. I was so glad when she quit. So were the residents."

"His wife wasn’t balky with him either. It’s not like my dad couldn’t afford it. It was the audacity of this jerk to order so much since my dad was paying. After he left and I saw my dad I got an earful. My dad was mad and I didn’t blame him. My dad didn’t like that I yelled at my friend about it. But he was mad at my friend. We both agreed that if we went with them again my dad and I will pay for our own and they can do the same. My mom had died and my dad was happy to see my friends that he had known for years, and for him and me to be together. I gave my dad money. I was on my parents’ bank accounts before. I put the money in his account. After this when we went out with those friends, I quickly said we’re all paying for our own meal!"

"He absolutely called the desk and repeated his absolutely idiotic request. They said maintenance had gone home for the night (I had two hours left and was literally right there lol) and told him to call back in the morning if the problem continued. The desk hung up, looked at me and said, "What a freaking moron." It was great having a night auditor who got it. He didn't call back the next day, since the AC clearly cooled the room. It has stuck in my mind for years. Such a moron."

"I had partial torn ligaments. She got mad when I went to get my hand looked at after she came into work. I had worked by myself, injured. I got residents up, showered, dressed, fed and gave meds. I did laundry, cleaned and had started lunch. It was hard to make beds. So I didn’t. She had the audacity to say she wasn’t making beds because it should have been done by me. I told my supervisors what had happened before she came in. They asked me to do what I was able to, not to overdo it, and to get seen after she came in. I iced while I worked. She complained to the supervisors that I "didn’t do (my) work"! They told her I was hurt and was working while injured. She wasn’t happy."
