People Are Sharing The Jobs That Require A High Tolerance For Being Yelled At, And These Employees Are Truly Our Strongest Soldiers
Work is a necessary evil in order to survive, but not all jobs are created equal. Recently, PreparationFar4709 asked, "What job requires a high tolerance for getting yelled at?" Unsurprisingly, people had A LOT to say. The question received over 6,300 replies! Here are some of the best comments: 1. "Veterinary medicine. People yell at us non-stop for stuff we have zero control over. The abuse from clients is so bad that suicide is a huge problem in the profession. We all know at least one colleague who completed suicide." 2. "I'm a pediatric nurse. Once, a mom threatened to report me to the board after 30 minutes of cursing at me. She thought I was changing her almost brain-dead 16-year-old teenage son wrong (he was covered in excrement literally from head to toe). The next day, the dad threatened to kill me because I was performing a lifesaving procedure. I told management, and they responded that the family was going through a tough time and to give them a moment." 3. "Every call center job should have voice changers for the customer's voice. That way, when people start screaming at you, just tap Goofy or Cartman and proceed to listen to them with a smile." Disney — craebeep31 4. "Pharmacist. The amount of bad news we have to deliver daily is insane. Wait times, cost, backorders, etc." — grimace0611 "I swear, every time I go to the pharmacy, I see the pharmacist getting screamed at by someone. I could never do that job." — Grouchy_Taro3224 5. "The nicer the restaurant, the angrier the chef in my experience. So I say professional cook." 6. "Teachers. They get yelled at by parents AND the children they are helping." — Efficient_Ad6015 "Every adult who wants children should have to be a substitute for a middle school class. That way, they can experience firsthand how difficult the profession is and have some empathy when interacting with educators in the future." — Agent-Two-THREE 7. "I literally dedicated 10 years to becoming a social worker. Within four months of actually working in the field, I started having seizures and paranoid hallucinations. I quit on the spot and went back to fast food. No idea how anyone can do this job. I've come to the conclusion that you have to absolutely hate yourself or be comfortable with destroying yourself." 8. "Gate agents for airlines. I've seen people melt down and berate them so many times. Airports and the frustrations of travel have a tendency to reveal people at their worst." 9. "I work as a host for a big chain restaurant. I get yelled at every single day by every single guest." 10. "Retail. Someone spit on me during the first Christmas I worked when I was 16. They were upset over a 25 cent coupon." — Psyco_diver "I had a clock thrown at me during my first year of working at Target." — Plankton_Brave 11. "Cashiering at a busy liquor store was a miserable experience. You get all the fun of cashiering combined with a huge legal liability that requires you to deny selling drugs to some people. For minimum wage. With state cops occasionally trying to trick you into messing up. Good times!" — NativeMasshole 12. "Casino dealer. You have no idea. It's unreal." 13. "The military is the only answer. No other occupation comes close." 14. "Referee. Especially at the grassroots/amateur level." 15. "Surgical technician. I've spent 30 years getting screamed at by surgeons. Super great for mental health. 🙃" 16. "I'm a 911 dispatcher. Between angry yelling, scared yelling, and freaking out stressed yelling, people are yelling at us all the time." 17. "Architects are constantly getting yelled at by owners and contractors. And we just have to take it because the industry is highly relationship-based for getting future work." 18. "Paralegals and attorneys. Clients complain about bills or things not going their way. Partners complain about under-billing. Opposing counsel and other parties (read: realtors) constantly throw others under the bus." 19. "These days? All of them." — ImHere4theINVINCIBLE "This is really true. And as companies cut jobs and make us all wear more and more hats, it's going to just get worse." — Coffee-n-chardonnay 20. And finally, on a lighthearted note: "Holding the flashlight for your dad."

Why some Londoners are flying the flag in the face of uncertainty
On the first day of a newly launched trade war between Canada and the United States, Canadian pride is on display on the streets of London, Ont. It's not a bombastic, over-the-top display filled with giant national symbols, lights and more, but rather one that's markedly Canadian in its humbleness. On some streets, newly erected flags bearing the iconic maple leaf hang from houses. On others, signs reading "Happy Canada Day" have been pulled out of storage and planted on snowbanks. Some homes have multiple flags and some have other national symbols proudly displayed. "We've all quietly celebrated our Canadian-ness in the past, but there seems to be a threat coming from south of the border, and it's important to let the people down there know, no, we're not interested in being part of your country," said Ellie Cartman, a Wortley Village resident who has a large Canadian flag affixed to the front of her home. On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump launched a long-dreaded trade war with Canada by imposing 25 per cent tariffs against most Canadian goods brought into the U.S. and 10 per cent tariffs on Canadian energy. Alongside several months of threats, Trump has been making increasingly direct comments that he believes Canada should be absorbed into his country. As a result, over the past several weeks owners and employees at stores that sell flags and other national symbols have told CBC News their sales have skyrocketed. Although she's pleased to hear there's been a newfound surge of national pride and many are flocking to the flag at a time many believe Canada's sovereignty is on the line, Cartman said she's been proudly displaying the flag on her property since 2018. "I think it's great. We love our country. It's a wonderful way of life," she said. "It shows a certain amount of solidarity that typically we don't exhibit, but we always know it's there. It especially shows up at hockey games." To Cartman, the flag is a display of Canadian values that she plans to fly as long as she can. "I think the average values of Canadians are that we support things like tolerance, and unlike other countries, we are not a melting pot. We're a cultural mosaic. I find myself enriched by other people's cultures," Cartman said. "Here we are living all together, with all these different views of the universe. It's a wonderful thing." Several houses down, another large flag proudly flies, affixed to the home of Terry Lavergne. The Londoner said he's taken the U.S. president's actions to heart, like many other Canadians. "We're so deeply offended and betrayed. It's boycott American for me. I've already spent a month looking at places where I can shop better," he said, referring to a growing buy Canadian movement that started when tariff threats were first threatened. Lavergne, too, has been flying the flag for years. He said he feels that display of national pride is important, but it's especially important now. "This might be one of the most serious challenges we've ever faced. I'm 68 years old. I've lived a damn good life in Canada," Lavergne said. "I've been through free trade negotiations before. This is different and everybody feels that. As I say, Canada is worth fighting for and we'll be okay." Lavergne said he's noticed a significant increase in the number of neighbours flying the flag, and that makes him proud. "Out of all the countries on this planet, Canada has the brightest future. The future is ours. It's not the Americans. Canada is worth fighting for, and that's damn well what we're going to do," he said.
