"womp womp!"...and or also a sour grapes.

I know that is just some peoples personalities...but "the costumer is always right" or at least put effort into having a pleasing personality to costumars.

For the summer, I work at a day care. In a middle class area, but not really blue collar. In this town its more mainly lawyer's, theripist, and doctors. So these people can have high expectaions at this free day care at the YMCA.

And my co worker was giving this mom that barely comes, a Debbie downer sour grapes tone. And this mom was not having it! The mom told her off, and complained to the front desk.

And my co worker asked me what I thought. (AWKWARD!) I told her she didn't say anything wrong, but the tone she had didn't sound friendly.

Now I see why the other women don't like this woman. I get so uncomfortible when my co worker gets that downer sour additude to these moms. She talks to them like they are crappy dumb snobs.

And it's not like I am going to say "Sorry for her negative additude!" in front of my sour co-worker. lol

I just get quiet and think "ahh the tension in this fricking room!" lol

I can't wait to start back at the catholic school, and be done here.

Has anyone else dealt with debbie downer co-workers?

yeah that lady worked there all the time, for me it was just a summer gig.

Since my part time job earns a little more. I had a few crazies at that place ask me to let them know if there is an opening. So glad I didn't cause one lady didn't qualify, and this other girl stalked guys she had crushes on.
