Customers_suck, disabilities and childfree
jamieavalon posts to customer_suck, including a rant about a person calling him/her on speaking louder an clearer, calling him an asshole (something pretty standard for that community).

neurobabe comments saying that maybe that customer had a disability one of her kids has.

People don't react too well. Included are gems like :

As the mom of three disabled kids (all different disabilities), I can tell you that it's definitely not easy for *anyone* concerned, but if people who are supposed to be 'customer service' are more tolerant, it might be a bit easier for everyone.

Yep, if they're all broken, take it as a sign to stop making them.

and the all popular I don't give a flying fuck about any customer that's an ass to me. they can fuck off and die, just like you

And it spills over into cf_hardcore.

I'd say all sides look pretty wanky here.

I happen to have JamieofAvalon on my friendslist. She friended me when I showed her a link to something she wanted, I friended her back because at the time, I was friending whoever friended me.

This is completly par for the course. She's got no self-esteem or self-respect and is angry at the world. Totally normal for her. Oi.

After reading your LJ, some must wonder about you. Looks like you have an Oedipus complex, since you seem to get pissed off whenever someone else is in your mother that isn't you ie: the bastard.. -eyeroll- grow the fuck up

And that makes you qualified to judge and label others? Oh noes! he's going through an emo angsty phase! Get a job and go to school you fat fucking worthless slob. As for your "artwork" I've seen kids in pre-k draw better then that.

*has central auditory processing difficulties* On the one hand, I miss at least 25% of what people are saying, particularly if I'm in a place where the background noise is intense or more than one person is speaking, etc. In fact, if more than one person is speaking, all the speech I hear sounds like a foreign language to me. I have to ask people to repeat themselves a lot, and I always feel bad about it... it's exasperating, I know, for both parties. It's really, really easy to get fed up and wanky about it, even when there's a legitimate breakdown in communication happening.

Although this guy could easily have just been rather pissy and asshole-ish. I'm just saying... but, man, the "abort disabled fetuses" talk in cf_hardcore is kind of freaky.

Do the disabled ones hold little signs?

"I have Down's"

"I'm lesdyxic, we'll fnid out nine I'm when."

"I'll develop MS twenty-nine years from now."

They behave as if you can see that your child has CAP by looking at him at the ultrasound screen...

It is freaky. So's the piling on that one comment.

Commentor: "I'm not going to totally agree with you and shall offer an opinion that things may have not been the way you thought they were!"
Reply: "Bayitch! How dare you insult my sensibilities by offering a different opinion! I shall have my friends call you a cow and say your children shouldn't have been born!"

... I would have loved it if the commentor said, "Well, actually, my children *are* adopted, if you want to know."

Uh, shoot. Anonymouse spill in aisle ten...

It is. I also liked how people suggested if you have a disorder and don't hear well because of that, you should mention it. That might go for people who are heard of hearing (like me), but to explain CAP every time? What the fuck? I certainly wouldn't want to mention my disorder every freaking time someone speaks too fast. A nice "Could you please speak a bit slower?" should do.

Granted, that guy didn't say please.

I'm sorry, but 'speak more slowly and clearly' is not an unreasonable demand. I don't care if he was rude about it, if you can't handle dealing with customers get another job.

Er, yes, I'll just mop up after myself, thanks.

I'd have to have sex first for that. And that's not going to happen in the first place.

but she seems like such a pleasant, wonderful person. why would anyone NOT want to have sex with her?
