“Unmasking the Advice Trap: 40 Outrageously Condescending Tips That’ll Make You Cringe!”
Normally I donĂ¢Â€Â™t tell patrons what I make but this time I had to because he was coming off like heĂ¢Â€Â™d be doing me a huge favor. So I told him thanks but no thanks, even at $15 an hour IĂ¢Â€Â™d be taking a 50% pay cut. Sure there were benefits which he reminded me of but IĂ¢Â€Â™m sorry. $15 at 40hrs a week is $600 before taxes, I could make that in less than two shifts.

A former boss when I was waitressing told me that I “don’t have the right temperment to be an accountant”.
I’ve been an accountant for 25 years now.

I finished uni and starred working as a nurse in an operating theatre. I was only 21 at the time and male so everyone assumed I was an orderly and not an RN. First day an older lady who was an orderly starts giving me advice on how to do really basic things and bossing me around. I didn’t let her in on my secret. Just let her go on in her condescending way. Boy did she get her nose out of joint when they let the new orderly scrub in for an op. She really was a b***h.

I was the cadet (intern) on a container ship. The captain liked good coffee, and our order didnĂ¢Â€Â™t show up before we left for a pretty remote part of the world. He handed me $2,000 from the safe and sent me to Starbucks.
IĂ¢Â€Â™m a dirty 18 year old kid, havenĂ¢Â€Â™t shaved or gotten a haircut in two months, wearing work boots. I walk into Starbucks and ask if theyĂ¢Â€Â™ll take 100s. Manager thinks this is some kind of joke. I tell her I need a bunch of coffee. We go back and forth, she tells me to leave the store, and there is a short line forming behind us, she just canĂ¢Â€Â™t take me seriously.
