Don't You Know Who I Am?, she said  |
|
Life can change in a flash. I just walked around the grounds to make sure that all is well before I left. A young lady came to me and said that it was obvious that there was not enough pool furniture. (New pool furniture is on order and will arrive next week)
This person was not a daughter of an owner and so was a guest for the weekend. I smiled pleasantly and told her that the owners were aware of the status of the furniture. Then I wished her a good day and walked on.
She then yelled at me, "Don't walk away when I am speaking to you. Don't youknow who I am?" I love it when people make this particular remark, because I know how just to answer them.
So I turned to her and said that I did not know who she was and if she didn't know who she was then I suggest that she received medical attention.
As I walked away, one of the owners whispered that she was the daughter of member of our government. So what? I said. Does that give her the right to be arrogant and rude to people?
Her behaviour did not impress me and she had no right to yell at me. What would you have done? Would you have accepted this rudeness form a spoilt brat who just happens to be the daughter of a top politician?

cynthiann (2905) | 5 months ago | I am polite to everyone. My kids laugh because i used to say 'excuse me' when I walked passed a dog. As a young person she had not right to speak to me in that manner, and as she wasn't an owner there was no reason to tell her that the pool furrniture will arrive next week. It is the first time she has visited here and she is a guest of an owner. rudeness is just that - rudeness

4. jillhill (11449) | 5 months ago | THat is one of my pet peeves.....people that think so highly of themselves and treat others with disrespect....if she went back to her room and told on you I hope her parents are smart enough to give her the what for...she had no right to talk to you like she did....I would have probably made a comment back too!

cynthiann (2905) | 5 months ago | I hope so too but her father is also arrogant. They do not own an aprtment and she had no right to interfere with the running of the complex. The owners and tenants are always informed. This has happened to me before and I always gove the same response. I would like to say that it was quick thinking on my part but it wasn't!

6. tjades (1408) | 5 months ago | I am sure I am going to remember this for a while and it will keep me laughing. You know I am curious as a cat to find out just which of our politician's daughter that was right.
Love the response. Imagine if it was her property or her family's. At least she got a response. I would not have acknowledged her at all. I am getting good at that when I come across rude people. It makes them mad when they are ignored as if they weren't even there.
Hope you get back on track here soon.

7. ybonjoc (860) | 5 months ago | That's rude. If I am in that situation, I am not sure how exactly I am going to react.That is so great of you to suggest that she needs medical attention .I have such an experience when I processed my Income Tax, and there was this 1 employee who entertained us,I was actually inquiring what are the requirements in applying as head of the family, then she referred me into someone that is actually not in line with what I wanted to know.I think that was the auditor,then she started explaining about the computation of my tax, that I do not ask though.Then she asks me to get a form,from that first employee I talked about, and I do not hear clearly what form it is, I confirmed to a friend who is also with me if what form is it,then she told me,it is ID form.So I went back to that first employee and ask for the ID form, she laughs at me and started telling me that there is no ID form in their office,her voice is loud that all people in the office heard what she just said, then she told me, I look beautiful yet so deaf.I was really embarrassed that i nearly cry. Then they started laughing at me, all in the office and some people who are also inquiring got pity of me.So I just went outside and cried.I never expected that thing can happen.It is as if I was belittled,and I found no strength to defend myself.

cynthiann (2905) | 5 months ago | I fel sop sorry that this happened to you. People can be so unkind. I was very shy when I was young too but it should not have happened. It is horrible to make another person feel humiliated. Blessings.

ybonjoc (860) | 5 months ago | I was very restless when in a situation like that.I really hope one day I can overcome this.It makes me feel like an idiot for doing nothing to defend myself.

8. dante_off (124) | 5 months ago | Yeah people can't be so rude upon those who are not in their authority...
And that thing "Don't you know who I am". is quite famous one...I have heard it people saying many times.
Like we will be fined if not wearing a helmet on the road, but a govt. officials son or daughter would not be fined...Just they would say...Do you know who I am? or Don't you know who my Dad is?....
It just makes my bones burn...I feel like taking out a gun shooting right at their head....
Well they are not the ones God has created with anything extra!!!!

| 9. ringbearer25 (86) | 5 months ago | I think you handled the situation perfectly. Oh so witty! That must've been hilarious. I wish I could've seen that happen. Your response was perfect, especially for the daughter of a prominent politician. (Wish I knew which one).

10. cyrus123 (1598) | 5 months ago | Knowing me, I probably would have said, "I'm sorry, but I don't know who you are." Or, I might have said, "No, I sure don't. I'm sorry". Or, I might have just stood there and stared at her before saying anything. You're absolutely right. She had no right to yell at you that way. Just because she's the daughter of a politician doesn't mean that she has to be so arrogant. No, I wouldn't have accepted her rudeness. Kathy.
