Sorry for my rant in advance, and I know this is itself a complaint so I'm a hypocrite.
At my job as a hotel clerk I occasionaly have to deal with complaining entitled people. I don't get why people can truly get worked up over the most pointless details. Sure, people want their money's worth. But stuff like "the bed is not long enough", "the room is a little on the small side" etc. and then getting a bit of an attitude towards me as a hotel clerk. I understand the problem, and I want to help, but I could care less for the attitude of arrogance and entitledness that often comes along with it. If people remain calm and nice and not let their ego/emotions take the overhand I am way more willing to help and it puts me in a less stressful position, win win.
It's such an ingrained trait of (western) society to be so incredibly entitled, always wanting their way. I myself am pretty easy going I guess, if something goes wrong or isn't the way I wanted, I accept it and make as minimal a fuzz about it. Unfortunately a lot of people have the idea that being a drama queen is rewarded in the world, and sadly they are right.
The sad thing is, I take a lot of things personally on the job, and while I am able to set aside a lot of pointless complaints and incidents, I take some of it with me and keep worrying about it.
