    This is the equivalent of “you don’t want to be like that Janitor over there” energy. Needlessly mean to a specific class or profession because they don’t see it as valued.

      Nobody respected the janitorial staff at my high school until they went on strike. Shit went downhill FAST.

          Had to go up it both ways everyday for school.

        Maybe that should be a thing. Once every 2-4 years the janitors go on strike so kids develop an appreciation for blue collar work. It would be random within that timeframe though so it couldn’t really be prepared for.

      Yeah, teach sounds like a dick. A HS physics teacher doesn’t even make that much more than a GM at McDicks and probably less than a McD District Manager. Sounds like the teacher should’ve made better career choices, maybe they’d be a physicist instead of just teaching. You know what they say: Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.

      We don’t think janitors are bad. We think it sucks to be a janitor because cleaning isn’t fun.

        And being paid very little + we all know they get treated like trash because we think lowly of their profession.

            Don’t turn this on me, you weirdo. This is what 99% of people do.

            I know this because i’ve been in their shoes, people are fucking trash.

              You hang out with the wrong people. Don’t give me statistics you literally just made up. Maybe you’re trash and people treated you like you rather than like a janitor.

                  Find you a better crowd that treats people better. They’ll bring you up.

                    Man, this is fucking rich, telling someone to hang with a better crowd, a crowd you couldn’t possibly know about, all the while insinuating they are trash and literally bringing them down.

                    Take a hard look at yourself, bud, and figure out which trash really needs to be taken out here.
