※ 引述《soapwater ()》之銘言： : i don't understand why some ppl can be so curious about others? : even i only saw her three times, and the only thing i know about her is that : she knows my grandma. : today i met her again at the bus stop. god!! i hate the bus stop. i even : thought that i should get a scooter license. however, she walked to me and : ask where am i working? i have been asked this question for a hundred times! : what are you expecting for? Office of the President? : i should know even if i told you my real job, you won't let me go.... : here comes the second question. my salary. why do i have to tell a stranger : my salary? is she crazy or sth? why does she assume that i will answer her? Yes, THANK YOU! Another pet peeve of mine (I'm a really nice person, well, usually, hehe) is people asking how much I make. The way I see it, unless you are a) my mother, b) the IRS, or c) my banker, you have no business asking how much I make. The question isn't even useful. If you ask me whether I'm single, perhaps it's because you know this nice girl who just broke up with her BF and is looking for a rebound. I'm cool with that :) If you ask me where I live, perhaps it's because you know the area well and can give me some tips on the best places to shop/eat around there. That's always good to know. But if you ask me how much I make, are you going to offer me money? I don't think so. Basically if I make less than you (or your son, your son-in-law, or whoever you're thinking about) you'll feel better about yourself and I get nothing in return. If I make more than you or whoever you're thinking of, then in your eyes I've just turned into a rich snob who probably swindles grannies for a living. So, unless you're going to give me money because I make so little, don't ask me how much I make. -- 'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life Trying to make ends meet, You're a slave to money then you die -Bittersweet Symphony, The Verve -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 72.207.36.9
