Don't You Know Who I Am?, she said email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. cynthiann (2905)   ranked 136 out of 37,595 in life5 months ago

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?

i can say that you are brave,when things are not done at the right time it can get worse,anyway such arrogant people should be getting more than this atleast once in a lifetime they should know,even i encountered myself of such people but the best thing i do is ignore them but if things get messy,i would surely dare to speak what they deserve. thumbup


myLot reputation of 99/100. cynthiann (2905)   ranked 136 out of 37,595 in life  5 months ago

Thank you. I am a mature lady and she had no right to yell at me.


myLot reputation of 90/100. varunvasanth (1069)   ranked 1,657 out of 37,595 in life  5 months ago

In that case i can say,you have every right to say so. thumbup

oooohhh... i just love your attitude, serves her right.

well for me if something like that will happen when i walk away she can yell till she gets red in her face and it wont bother me because i am hearing impaired... lol.

seriously... if that kind of situation would happen when i was younger i would have folded in her presence and gotten scared. but not now that i got older. with all the troubles i've been through trying to please people, no way, i will never let anyone do that to me, like i care if she is the daughter of whoever most famous personality or official, that does not give her the right to yell at me. angry


myLot reputation of 99/100. cynthiann (2905)   ranked 136 out of 37,595 in life  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

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!


myLot reputation of 99/100. cynthiann (2905)   ranked 136 out of 37,595 in life  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!

WOW!!! What a great answer Cynthi,w00tthumbupwub. I love it, good for you. I can't stand people that feel their importance when they don't have any. I want to remember that in case i hopefully get a chance to use it. I'm sooooo proud of you. She had no right to talk to u like that or be complaining when she was just a guest. I BELIEVE U HAVE A STRESSFUL JOB. SORRY.


myLot reputation of 99/100. cynthiann (2905)   ranked 136 out of 37,595 in life  5 months ago

As I just said to jillhill, I have used that remark before! It was not spontaneous.I have met so many people like this who ARE JUST DOWNRIGHT ARROGANT AND RUDEangry

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.


myLot reputation of 99/100. cynthiann (2905)   ranked 136 out of 37,595 in life  5 months ago

I have to admit that myh reply was not spontaneous. I have used it a few times before.

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 attentionthumbup.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.


myLot reputation of 99/100. cynthiann (2905)   ranked 136 out of 37,595 in life  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.


myLot reputation of 98/100. ybonjoc (860)   ranked 1,667 out of 37,595 in life  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.

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!!!!

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).


myLot reputation of 99/100. cynthiann (2905)   ranked 136 out of 37,595 in life  5 months ago

Actually I have used this remark before. Regretfully, I am not spontaneous so I have a few rehearsed things to say when in a situation like this. But I do it with panache!lol

10. myLot reputation of 98/100. cyrus123 (1598)   ranked 2,795 out of 37,595 in life   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.


myLot reputation of 99/100. cynthiann (2905)   ranked 136 out of 37,595 in life  5 months ago

I'm old Kathy and she is just a teenager or in her early 20's who does not live at the complex. Just arrogant and I know that I deserve to be treated with respect becaue I am respectful to everyone


myLot reputation of 98/100. cyrus123 (1598)   ranked 2,795 out of 37,595 in life  5 months ago

I'm 57 but I don't consider myself old yet, lollol. After reading some of the other mylotters' comments, I feel like you did the right thing. I wish I could have been there and seen her face when you told her what you did. I bet it was funny! Happy mylotting. Kathy.
