People who think that because I “work in a shop” that I must be thick and incapable of doing something “better”

Aye how silly of me to suggest, you have a problem with the way people perceive you in your job, when you post things like this. Thanks for your own words, i will be off now. So many characters assassinations to make, with the help of peoples own words, who then want to back way from them. Bye love.

What I find irritating is people who make judgements on what they think they see, and not just of me but of others less able to speak up for themselves than me. That isn’t just related to job status, it goes for so many things.

Let me spell it out for you.
The person saw that I “worked in a shop”.
From that they made a judgement of me as a person.
The judgement was that I was thick and incapable of doing something “better”.
My irritation was that they made a judgement of me as a person based on what they see, i.e. in this example on the job I do. I am, after all, defined by so much more than my job.

Ask your friend “Searing” how it feels when people look at him and make judgements of what he is capable of based purely on what they see. What is it that irritates him? Their perception of him and his “disability” or their perception of his capability based on what they see, i.e. in this example his “disability”. Shouldn’t he also be defined by so much more than his “disability”?

I’m sure you have the intelligence to understand the difference, if not then maybe “Searing” can explain it to you.

And finally:

We can only hope that people will understand the intent behind the words and not misinterprete them, deliberately or otherwise.

why would you see the need to bring someone who is not posting into the conversation. Indeed someone who you were quite clearly in the lead group resulting in him being removed from the boards.

You really should see someone about those anger management issues. Maybe its more to do with being so short in your case, rather than your lowly work position then.

Im sure your Queen and country will be proud of you.Coming on here trying to belittle people because of their status.At the end of the day what are soldiers? Lots of them are social misfits and bullies as you admitted yourself.Would you walk into a barracks and say as much,i very much doubt it.
