**elmongo2** , you are not going to make any friends here by coming in and pissing on threads and other posters.

Hang out for a while. See how things work. Chill out. Stupid temper tantrums will earn you a banning. I know from experience.

Welcome to the boards. 🙂

**bayonet** , neener. Neener, neener, neener!

I’ve done many different kinds of work, customer service included, and all jobs, bar none, have a “dealing with assholes” factor. Customer service just increases a worker’s chances of running in to more assholes than other jobs.

Vent away on job frustrations! It beats the hell out of getting fired or going postal. And if your job sucks that bad, think about, and work on getting another. Easier said than done I know from hard experience, but the peace of mind is worth it!

Good God, looks like some stiff competition for Lu Cifer’s highly coveted “Retard Of the Month” Awards! [http://www.lu13.2ya.com/](http://www.lu13.2ya.com/)

I’d like you to find a cite for me crying, pissing, or moaning about the first time illegal aliens snuck in here, etc.
