As the song says: "lazy f***ing useless c*nts"

Yes, of course. That's why they were the first on the scene on 7th July 2005
leading customers to safety and tending to the wounded without any breathing
apparatus or insisting the area was checked for more devices first. Amazing
how quickly people forget.

Perhaps the song needs to be rewritten.

Not clear why the reference to religion was necessary. Surely point is

Why are suicide bombers cowards? I may not share their motives, but
giving up your life for something you believe in, however wrongly,
doesn't seem to be cowardly. All kinds of words might be suitable (eg
deluded, psychotic, inconsiderate).

However, it does seem to be a convention that politicians have to
describe suicide attacks, in particular, as cowardly.

If they could afford planes, presumably they would drop the bombs from
them. Would that make them brave?

Try murdering fanatics, not sure about the cowardly bit, although any
*honest* soldier would wear a uniform.

You dull c**t. Transport staff are going to be in the front line
throughout their working day. They don't have a choice - you do.
Now **** off and grow up.

With that kind of childish attitude and lack of respect, you are surely one
of the idiots the OP was referring to.

You want to try working in an environment where your respect for and
treatment of customers has a direct impact on whether or not you have a pay
packet at the end of the week/month. You'd soon change your attitude.

I think it's time for you to find a different job - preferably where you
have no chance of meeting me on my travels.

I think that most people who deal with the public face-to-face are not
exactly enamoured of them, hence the existence of websites like
customerssuck.com.

Judging by what I see of the attitude of *non*-transport staff towards
their customers, I think we can safely say that to rid the world of
people who dislike their customers you'd have to close down the entire
service sector.

Professionals in the service sector may detest (at least some of) the
people they serve; their professionalism shows in the fact that their
customers aren't made aware of that fact.

Would you like to tell me which environment that is, John?

I'm *not* backing "Uncle Fester" up, believe me. but I can honestly
say that I have not seen any public-facing organisation which
consistently shows any reasonable amount of respect for or decent
treatment of their customers.

"Some good points, some bad points, Adequate overall" would be my
report card on most service organisations in this country.

Shouldn't be that way, of course, but I think that's the way the
British are, so it's what we get.

All in all, I reckon that's one of the most accurate sentences I've ever
seen posted on Usenet.......

Self-employment where you survive or fail by your own efforts.
