Well, I rather think "Commissioner Gordon" put it best that people get use to someone to solve their problems and get into the habit of calling them all the time.
The one today was a boytoy who dropped me when he said we were incompatable but then saw me on the Net today and asked about how about coming over to please him.....but I guess that's just how boytoys can be jerks.
But, then there was a supervisor for night shift they took away from us who then ran into problem manning it during the pandemic and asked for me and my associate back (t'was over a year ago), as if we were just lying around, not doing anything......when we had be reassigned to other duties on the day shift. They didn't get us but GEEE, I hate being thought of as just an Ablebody.
Then there was the guy who retired who called up to see if I still took afternoons off to teach because he needed a ride.
As far as being on the nightshift, for 25 years, long story short, day people just don't understand what it means, don't understand that us night workers have the need for a good night's sleep, just like them. That when we beg for that time, we are told, "Well, you can always take a nap.".
Now, since I did the nightshift for so long, I am more susceptable to noticing it and remembering it, each time it happens.
I am wondering if inconsideration about another's life is a human tendency or does it apply only to a certain group of people? Is the entire population really that self centered.....or just a group of them?
It is rather hilarious that I have to look up that term for its meaning.......for what it means.
As far as that goes, I find that these days men are not looking for epic love fantasies but things more like Juice Newton's "Queen of Hearts". That may be part of the mindset of people in this particular discussion, that for all one side wants of something, the other side sees it as nothing really big to them and hence, doesn't appreciate all that it means to us, all that we want to put into it, all that we have to put into it.
Our world of instant gratification.
As is, I rather see them as Veruca Salts........"don't care how, I want it now!".

Yeah, sometimes people feel obligated to say yes to helping someone when asked. You're not obligated by a simple request. If you say no OP and they can't take that for an answer that's their malfunction. Just keep saying no while refusing them an explanation.
Yup. If a person says "well, since you aren't doing anything, come help me!" I would think they are very shortsighted and I wouldn't really expect them to suddenly be reasonable with any sort of explanation. But sometimes I do give one.
