R: We’re so broke. We’re struggling to get by. We need more money. It’s so depressing. I can’t find a job.

me: I’m sorry. Have you tried job sites?

R: Well there were some job openings but I will NOT work as a service rep, or at a restaurant, or as a store clerk, or anything but a cushy office job.

me: So you’re in desperate need of money but you’re not going to take these job openings because they’re beneath you?

R: ….. but you don’t understand, blah blah blah.

me: Imagining stabbing R in the eye with a fork, because I have worked crappy job after crappy job to get by, thankless jobs with long hours, grueling work, and little pay, because I took what i could get so i could feed my family. So don’t you DARE complain to me about how broke you are when you refuse to get off your lazy a** and take the jobs that are right in front of you waving huge HELP WANTED flags!
