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."

People Are Sharing Their 'Calling It Now' Predictions, And I Believe About Half Of These
Recently, Reddit user u/PreparationFar4709 asked, " What is your 'calling it now' prediction?" From political predictions to food trends, here's what some people think will happen in the near future: 1. "O'Hare airport in Chicago will be renamed 'Obama' after he eventually dies. Presidents usually get airports named after them, like Clinton in Little Rock and Bush in Houston. Obama was a senator from Illinois, and the names sound similar." — arock121 "Split the difference; call it the 'O'Bama' airport." — DrNuclearSlav 2. "In the next 10 years, you'll no longer speak to a nurse before seeing your primary care physician. You'll be questioned by an AI with full knowledge of your entire medical history, and it will then craft new questions based on your answers. It will inform your doctor of important risk factors and suggest where to go from there." — None 3. "In 50 years, we'll wonder why we ever pooped in clean drinkable water." — AnonymousCrewMember 4. "Grown-up children of YouTube family vloggers will start dropping Mommy Dearest-style exposés about their horrible childhoods, and laws will be imposed against the whole practice." — storm_walkers Sakchai Vongsasiripat / Getty Images 6. "Streaming services will be combined to become a new cable package. This is happening already, but I've been saying this for years." — pinballwizardsg 7. "Lab-grown meat will completely take over by 2030. I've been following the industry closely, and the technology is improving quickly while prices keep dropping. My local grocery store just started carrying it, and I can barely tell the difference anymore." — EroticGoddess11 "When lab-grown meat becomes affordable, meat companies will run a smear campaign with slogans like, 'Don't you want REAL meat?' and commission studies that say it's less healthy." — breakermw 8. "In the coming years, companies will start ditching call center staff in favour of AI systems. It will be awful." — Appropriate-Divide64 "AI responses to all questions will be sponsored and yield responses that favor the advertiser rather than objective responses based on available evidence." — BlueSpotBingo Luis Alvarez / Getty Images 10. "We're going to see an influx of people avoiding social media/phone culture as a lifestyle choice. People are tired of the algorithms, manipulation and bullshit." — ConditionLife1710 11. "Starbucks will be selling bubble tea by 2027. For clarification, I mean classic bubble tea (sweet and creamy leaf tea with tapioca pearls), not fruity drinks with popping 'boba' juice balls." — BoneDaddyChill 13. "Co-living will be a thing as a way to afford housing. Like two families joining to purchase a house and living together." — clevelandrocks14 14. "The issue of plastic will never be solved unless another more convenient, cheaper, easier to make, and less polluting product is made." — Quick_Marsupial9628 15. "We will see a large resurgence in people becoming tinkerers, fixers, and going into the trades. This will be because of stuff being too expensive to get fixed, paired with the rising cost of education." — SwampThing72 16. "There will be a state of emergency declared via an executive order in 2028 to postpone the next US presidential election (a la Indira Gandhi in the 1970s). I really hope I'm wrong, though." — SaltChunkLarry Witthaya Prasongsin / Getty Images 19. "In the next 20 years, you will be able to get a degree from YouTube." — Deuce_Booty Maria Symchych-Navrotska / Getty Images/iStockphoto
