to find it hard to be nice?

[Nagoo]

I work with the general public.

I have spent the day smiling and engaging in banter with people I don't know about topics I couldn't care less about.

I have to listen politely and explain myself in a variety of ways over and over again as people fail to wait for me to finish speaking before critiquing what i have to say.

Am I a miserable bastard or does everyone find that 9 hours of false pleasantry leeches their very soul?

The older I get the more I feel like this too, when you've heard and seen it all before it can be hard to not cut in and say 'can I just stop you there' and help them without having to hear their whole life story!

Am also pregnant and go from feeling extremely angry about anything and everything and irrationally slagging off brother in law to crying about having no Bran Flakes, so I might not be the nest person to answer!

Best not nest! :)

Perhaps you should consider a different career?

Honestly, if you find it that bad engaging with the general public and having to force niceness/politeness, then it would be good for your soul to try and find something that you do enjoy.

Do you think you might be in the wrong job? Working with the general public isn't for everyone.

I don't find it difficult, I love helping people and cheering them up with a big smile and great service. Perhaps you should reconsider your job.

I work with the general public - I've tried other jobs but would choose working with the public everytime. In general people are nice ime and I enjoy my job, though due to what we deal with it can be stressful.

However some days you just seem to get one cunt after another and then it gets harder and I hear myself getting shorter and snappier.
