Ah, the classic tale of "Manager calls employee's bluff, loses and panics". Always makes for a good story.

We used to look up to our teachers as role models. It is sad what the education system has become.

If only everyone thought like you. I don't mind being treated like I'm invisible, some folks are just busy or tired. But some folks actively spend time and energy trying to be rude.

Thank you, you're too kind.

That is always a good strategy. Eventually some people realise what a fool they're making of themselves. Others get even angrier the nicer you get, sometimes to the point where they can't function properly.

You are a true gem!

"If yor employees are trying to help you, let them." Sounds like common sense, but it seems like MBAs aren't being taught common sense...

Thank you. I don't usually write such long posts so this means a lot.

Thank you. I tried to make it short and interesting. I've got more stories, maybe I should share those too.

I haven't told this story before, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone else had a similar experience. Hospitality has its fair share of nightmares.

Why would a teacher ban students from going to the bathroom? That's a normal bodily function. What do they expect the kid to do?

Oh darling I have stories about male teachers not understanding how periods work that will make you cringe!
