chaobellWarning: bitchy.
If you are over the age of 18 and refuse to hold down a job, I don't feel the least bit sorry for you. Especially if you live with your parents.
By "refuse to hold down a job," I don't, of course mean "physically disabled to the point that I cannot see/stand/move around," nor do I mean "doing the housewife thing because the other half makes enough dough to support the both of us comfortably and is okay with it."
By "refuse to hold down a job" I mean:
1. Get a job, decide it's too hard or your boss is too mean (especially if your work day is something like 11-4 and your dress code is something like "you must wear clothes") or it's too far or you don't like the location or you don't like your co-workers a week later, and quit. News flash, kids. There is no such thing as an absolutely perfect job. Welcome to the real world. You don't always get your way here. Deal with it. One shittty job? Sure everyone gets one once in a while. But don't start crying if people start raising the bullshit flag after three or four in a row.
2. Get a job, fuck around and not do your job, and then get fired and blame everyone except yourself. It's highly likely that you didn't get fired because you're not male/not white/not Christian/not straight/not interested in boinking someone you worked with. You probably got fired because you refused to do the work you were hired to do. You get an extra asskicking from me if you cry because the boss that fired you for farting around on company time doesn't give you a good reference when you make your half-assed effort to find another job.
3. Spend months "looking for a job" and snapping at anyone who tells you you're not looking very damn hard. Another news flash: filling out one application a month does not qualify as "looking for a job."
4. And the one that pisses me off most of all: living with parents/friends/partners/spouses who ARE working their asses off and need you to help with your half of the bills--and declaring that you just don't want to work, or that you've tried really really hard and just can't keep a job, because working would interfere with truly important things like watching anime, writing fanfic, and playing video games. FUCK YOU. I lived with one of you selfish, pathetic, immature fuckers for four years, and I am a dumbass for not throwing him out of the house after the first two jobs. And if the person you're sponging and leeching off of grows the spine and balls to ask you to get up off your ass and start contributing, don't you DARE bitch about it. You have no right to live off someone else's money and then throw a temper tantrum when the person whose money you're living on asks to be compensated.
If you think I'm talking about you, I probably am.
