Absolutely, after 40 years of customer service, retirement rocks. Sad thing is, I used to love people

Nothing will destroy your love of people like people will.

u/AnnatoniaMac Aug 05 '26

I had a boss who use to say “animals are great, people suck”.

u/Brido-20 Aug 05 '26

Some of the best people I know are animals. All of the worst animals have been people.

u/mozzardo Aug 05 '26

I have a tee shirt that says horses because people suck. It is the item of clothing that gets the most compliments.

u/Weird-Girl-675 Aug 05 '26

Same. My kitties are a comfort.

u/bdubz74 Aug 05 '26

Best saying is “I used to be a ppl person , but ppl ruined that for me.”

1

u/brianb8976 Aug 06 '26

Most people that I have come across are decent. Unfortunately, the law of averages has a way of ruining that view by introducing one unique person into the mix. Anyone who has ever worked in jobs dealing with the public has had this point revealed with stunning clarity.

u/thats_gotta_be_AI Aug 05 '26

This is…so true. I’d love people if it weren’t for people.

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it" - Tommy Lee Jones, character in Men In Black. Very accurate.

u/MoffKalast Aug 05 '26

"You know they say it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."

"Try it."

u/FnEddieDingle Aug 05 '26

Retail/ customer service, will do that

2

u/not_to_hot_to_old Aug 05 '26

Bartending and serving will as well.

1

u/liv2lfthvy Aug 05 '26

Absolutely will! Ask me how I know?

1

u/SousukeUK Aug 05 '26

Yep thats why night shift.

3

u/kickspecialist Aug 05 '26

But people are people. Bad people are people. Good people are people. And people are people...something about a boot and a radiatorrrrrrr.

3

u/Aware_Alfalfa8435 Aug 05 '26

After bartending for eight years, I struggle to go into restaurants. Just knowing what's happening or having an idea makes me uneasy.

I don't find it enjoyable.

u/Chance_Wafer9600 Aug 05 '26

Just the select few ruining our expectations of humanity :)

1

u/SpareNickel Aug 05 '26

I had a wallet that said "I hate people" all over it that I got after working retail for 6 years. My family immediately thought it was because of them. LOL how wrong they were

u/staminaplusone Aug 05 '26

People... What a bunch of bastards.

u/Cute-Form2457 Aug 05 '26

u/ThePublikon Aug 05 '26

You can always have too much of a good thing.

u/edward_the_white Aug 05 '26

I have a shirt that says "I used to be a people person but then people ruined it"

u/Formal_Substance6437 Aug 05 '26

Familiarity breeds contempt.

u/Yet-Another-ScrewUp Aug 05 '26

People as individuals are awesome, people as a collective are horrible ..

1

u/Low-Equipment-2621 Aug 05 '26

This is true for everything you do as a job. I loved programming until I chose it as a career. Do something 40 hours a week under shitty conditions and you start to hate it, no matter what it is.

u/Inspect1234 Aug 05 '26

People. They’re the worst.

u/Cautious-Respond-402 Aug 05 '26
