It’s bizarre how self centered so many customers are, like they are the only people with feelings and if they voice those feelings, everything they want will come true.

Check out what this worker thinks of them.

Cue everyone’s favorite Ashton Kutcher quote

It’s Christmas Eve.

The temperature is -5 degrees after wind chill.

This is too cold to be hell, right? No.

I am working outside selling toys at a Winter Market.

The tourists are frustrated, understandably, by their vacation to a place where it literally hurts to be outside.

What I don’t understand is when one woman angrily asks me in an accusatory tone, “Do you even REALIZE how cold it is out here?!”

The tiniest violin plays…

Okay, first of all, there is literally nothing I can do about it.

Second of all, one of us has the power to go inside and the other cannot as they have to sell toys outside.

Third of all, of course I realize how cold it is; I have to hold my bottle of Spic and Span to the lamp to melt it so’s I can clean up the mud you stomped all over my booth!

Here is what people are saying.

LOL That ’70s Show is so good.
