In an ideal economic world, I would walk away and go to the business next door possibly at a little extra cost. In the real world, there is probably no business next door or alternative administration and I can't exercise my homo-economicus choices.

    So should I just sh*t the fuck up and take it up the arse like a sheep or call the boss and flock him in front of everyone for his poor management skills? It mostly won't change the situation, but at least it let the steam out and I spoke my mind. And the idea is that if everyone did it, then it would change the situation. It is similar to queue jumpers in traffic jams, a specialty in the part of the world I live in. I never let these guys squeeze in the queue in front of me (by sticking to the bumper of the guy in front). If everybody did that, there would be no queue jumpers and the world would be a better place. But instead, people behave like sheep and let those assholes squeeze in, so they have good reason to do it...

    As for repeated bad beats, I am well past the outrage, but it still causes me to take breaks longer than they should be ("scared of playing again" thing and finding excuses not to play). I need to get that under control.
    Stop being such an egotistical bitch and wait in line like everyone else wtf. Did you even read the article? You will never succeed with this sort of attitude. Open mind and all that. I'm not trying to be a HUGE dick here, but I don't think you get the point of this thread. You have to learn to accept shit you have no control over, otherwise you'll tilt your fucking BALLS off when some stupid shit happens, and thats not going to help matters at all. So what happens if you just bitch out the manager in that situation? Do you think you're going to get special treatment? No. You're probably going to get your whiney little dick sucked for about 5 minutes and then the manager is going to go back to doing fuck all and you'll be in the same place in line. Congrats.

    That's right. You should passively accept the world as it is and all the abuse being thrown at you without doing anything about it. You'll feel better.

    With that kind of mentality, we would all still be stuck at stone age, if we even would have got there at all. History shows that the world only changes when people fight for it. So fight.
