I do that, but I can't stand seeing a child/someone helpless at the end of their power trips.
What do you do when you see such a thing? I just can't help myself from feeling bad for the waiter who has to take shit from rich brats with acne. If I am able to then I usually cheer that person up, somehow, or say something nice to them, but that isn't exactly satisfactory.
- gaius 16y agoI have kinda of made a point of intervening in situations like that where I am likely to get an outcome (and I am fully aware that this is me running exactly the same program myself). The other day someone jumped the queue (I was a few people behind the front) and I just said, are you not going to queue, mate? No, he said, then left his stuff on the counter and ran away! Ridicule/social shame often works, but you can't overdo it. It especially works here in England where people expect other people to just silently fume and let them get away with it. I wouldn't bother with kids just making a noise - they're untouchable and they know it. Maybe now the Tories are in we can address some of the root causes of that.
