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?

21. leenie50 (1836) | 6 months ago | Hey cyn, I loved your response. I would not giver her or anyone else that believes they are above everyone else because of a Political positon either held by her or her Parent. All the more reason for her to behave accordingly, since her Father was elected by you and works for you. And by the way is paid by you. The same goes for anyone in show biz. Without us there would be no show biz. I don't bow down to anyone. Especially to anyone that is rude and obnoxious. Good work. Hugsssssssss leenie

23. AmbiePam (15439) | 6 months ago | Honey, you need a raise! That girl is lucky I wasn't there. I'd have picked her up and thrown her into the pool! I just cannot abide people like that. I realize you have no choice because you are an employee, but it certainly makes it difficult to do your job. I admire how you handled the situation.

24. Meljep (1345) | 6 months ago | Good response. There is no reason for people to pull rank with someone who can't fix their problem. You'd already told her that the problem had been reported, so what was she thinking?? She should have asked to talk to your manager instead of yelling about who she was. Arrogant people have a hard time relating to the real world!

cynthiann (3165) | 6 months ago | Just a very spoilt brat who thought that she was the cat's pyjamas! Arrogant and rude. It is her father who is an elected Government Minister - not her.

25. peedielyn (721) | 6 months ago | LOVE! I would have done the same thing. I am rude sometimes and don't mean to be but this one is where I would have torn into her. This is hilarious! I look at it this way. We are all human and we all think we need respect. LOL being humorous of course. I am going to remember that the next time one of my relatives say it. My dad has that habit and I just tell him, yeah, you're my dad and there is nothing anyone can do about it--oops--sorry. This was great!

26. dawnald (10287) | 6 months ago | I love your response. lol I'm thinking:
"Don't know. Don't care." or "No, but I can tell you weren't taught manners." or some such thing... Not that I would have said it...

cynthiann (3165) | 6 months ago | As I had to admnit in other responses - it was not spontaneous. I don't do spontaneous very well. I have used it before as it is a put down but also politely acceptable. Facial expression when saying it is very important though!

27. sid556 (10867) | 6 months ago | i think that how you handled this was perfectly awesome! Some of these kids of elite parents seem to think they can do anything and are above anyone. It doesn't matter who they are....No one deserves to be treated an worse or any better than anyone else. We are all equal.
