I am not one to judge but have you ever heard a person cry because they did not get what they want. My job deals with customers, and I have to show sympathy to them because I work for Customer Service. At the end of the day, I go home and realize that there are people who will make a very big deal about materialistic items. I heard a customer start crying because we have sold out in her size. She mention, "Do you know how long I have been looking for this item? I could never find one design that I was interested in. Now that you are sold out of the item, I do not know when I will ever find it agains. Bare in mind, this is a wool coat. The whole time she was talking she was crying, and you can really hear it. (My thoughts: I can't believe there are people out there that would cry over small things when others are not as fortunate as they are. I wanted to tell this customer to get over it, its just a coat. I didn't because for sure I will loose my job. But this person had put me in shock, I almost started laughing during the conversation. It will be understandable if it was something extreme that someone stole their identity or something to that nature but not for a coat. I am not mean, I am very understandable but wow, don't cry over something that you can't get because it was sold out. ) Has anyone else have a personal experience where people do not enjoy life from what the world provides? but rather these people find more joy in have technology, clothes, vehicles,etc.

Well I sometimes do that especially when I really love that thing then I can't get it because it's either too expensive or what. But as time passes by, I learned to accept that theres always time for everything and you cannot always have the one that you want to have.Accept it! it's more worth than to cry.

For me, if I don't get what I want, my mindset is that maybe it's just not meant for me to have. Maybe there are better things out there. I'd move on and not make any fuzz about it.

People are strange and dealing with people is difficult. I never had a knack for doing it and I would much rather work with computers than complex things like people.

Well, I can say that if I will meet same situation, I will just sympathize with her feelings. I do not know her. I don't have a complete background of her. She may have her own reasons why she cry for just a material thing. Whatever it is, it may be some important matter for her.
If you will ask about me, I do get sad and upset sometimes if I do not get what I want. For example,I want a laptop but I cannot get because we cannot afford to buy it. Then, it will just makes me sad. But I will not cry on it. Instead of doing that, I just think of more positive idea. And one thing that I am doing now is saving the money I have, just to get what I want. I am working hard to get it and I know time will come and I can get what I want. I just have to spend wisely and save even little money everyday.
I think there is a possibility for me to cry also if I not get what I want. Just one good example is the board examination I just took up recently. I am so blessed because God heard my prayers. I passed the exam with flying colors. However, if the opposite thing happened, then for sure I will cry. I gave a lot of effort studying my past lectures. I didn't apply also for a job just to give full attention on it. So if I failed to pass it, then I will cry so much. Just imagine that after all the hardships, and then you will not pass it? I will feel so upset feeling that my effort had been wasted. Anyway I'm so happy now it didn't happened. Thanks God.

these situation is more understandable. It if it was something that you work for, and then failed, then that would be okay. But this person was literally crying over a coat. I had sympathize with her feelings, and explained to her if it was available i would try to get it for her; however, i couldn't get it for her if it was sold out. she wanted me to get if from someone who had order her size and give it to her and tell that person " oh sorry, we can't give to them when they already paid for it"

I see people do things like this all the time. I try not judge, though. You never know if something else is bothering them. Maybe the woman was upset because she's overweight, or very small, and has a hard time finding clothes? Some people are just very sensitive. I think you should learn to get past it. if you put too much thought into it, you'l.l feel upset.

in my discussion, I left out little details. She ordered a size 12 and she says that she is a size 6 and the only thing that we had left was a 12 that's why she ordered it in the first place it was the only one left. It would be understandable if it your point of view but not for a small person.
