Why do people downgrade other people in this room?

People like this "Mars" person have serious communications issues, and being functionally illiterate does not make it any easier to get along in the world. I would say to the Mars person that you are in no position to say anything unless you know how to say it in some form that other people can understand. It is obvious that Mars is trying to say something, but because the command of the English language is so poor it is almost impossible to ascertain exactly what it is. Mars needs to spend more time learning how to read and write in English.

I to deal with people like this everyday. You have your regulars that are just plain miserable people, and always show you attitude when they come in. Then you have those that are rude because they are dissatisfied with your company for some reason (out of stock on an item, pricing, long wait, etc.),or their just having a bad day. When you finally are able to rectify the situation you usually see a positive change in their attitude. These are normally just your eveyryday people who if they were able to see the way they were acting, would probably be very embarrassed. Finally there are those that actually get kicks out of being rude to people, especially when they know you are unable to fight back and say what you feel. Don't take it personally, just smile an please them as best you can. When they leave your store you can make fun of them and mock them all you want.

You're getting into some pretty deep issues here. \n\nFirst off, people who need to justify and affirm their own value need to lower the value of others by doing what you're talking about.  This gets into some pretty deep biology and psychology.  Since humans are social animals there is always a social heirarchy.  When someone is at the bottom or middle and wants to move up, this is one of the ways they can feel a little movement.  Immature people will also do this in retaliation to an attack on them by another immature person.  It just turns out to be a self licking ice cream cone.  \n\nI used to think that I had to respond to everything in my honor.  Now, by letting things roll off my back and exercising my personal boundaries, I live a life with a lot less stress or anxiety.  Life is great!

Take it up with the management.  As soon as you see that a staff member at the bottom rung is just giving you what they are told to say, ask to speak to their manager.  To do otherwise, wastes everyone's time and energy.  No sense upsetting someone who has no authority to change anything, or upsetting yourself, and looking bad.

That sucks. Some people are just mean and have nothing better to do than report others for silly things. I think it makes them feel superior. Sorry they took out their frustrated lives on you.

Tell them they got the wrong room!

Some can be extremely sensitive and try to inflict their pain on other people.Some might have been mistreated,but that is no excuse  for some of their ways.There is someone I know of who goes around and tell people they are going to hell,calling them names,and demanding how they should behave.I don't feel sorry for these type of people.\n\nI used to stay in a rooming house when I was a 18.There was a mean bitter lady named Elaine.She said the most cruel things to me.I responded by saying"You're just mad because I have a girlfriend while you're sitting in your house deteriorating.No man will ever want you.You have no breast,you're ugly,you have no teeth and you have one leg.What man in their right mind would want you".She was shocked that I said that,but she got just what she deserved.After I said that,I went about my business while she sat there all alone deteriorating.I had no regrets about what I said.If you judge someone,you better be ready to be judged.\n\nSome cope with their pain by believing in heaven.People like Elaine will not go to heaven if they continue to act this way.

Makes some people feel Superior to put others down. It is usually a result of low self esteem.

They don't like the idea of those darned clean people making them look bad.\n\nOR\n\nThose darned, allegedly "clean" people keep condescending down on them and talking to them like they are broken trash that needs to get fixed.... like THEY are.

The smartest person in the room would know not to treat people that way. The person you're describing sounds like they have an "attention seeking" problem, not intelligence.

people are rude & cruel and seem to have the mentality of the Gladiators....it is also a way for ignorant people to take the notice off their own ignorance and direct it to others hwo do know what they  are talking about.\n Ever notice how a person who is clueless seems to always call you a fool,just becasue they don't know about something ??

Nope, it's not just you.\n\nFrom what I've seen, the ppl replying that way are the ones who are "holier than thou" and like to quote scriptures as a way to back up their self-righteous behavior.\n\nOpinions are great, until someone tries to trample all over someone else's!\n\nI imagine I'm like many, in that if someone tries to shove their opinion down my throat it usually makes me stand that much more firm in my own belief.  My opinion is my truth and not that of anyone else's.

Yep. been there done that.  Try talking it out & setting house rules.  If you don't it could likely end up being a much worse situation.\nMake some areas of the house "general" areas.  = Front room - no personal stuff.  that way there is no Junk.\nIf all else fails & you don't mind "stooping to their level" start doing the same exact thing.  After they complain, explain that they have been doing the same thing & you are only trying to get a point across of how much it is bothering you.  Although - the fight resulting may not be worth it.  You will be better off getting a new roommate if the "house rules" do not work

Why? Because some people  are here only for the purpose of starting drama. Some people have been programmed that they are right all the time, 24/7. Some people will stop at nothing to prove that they are somehow better that you, and often do not consider the consequences of their actions. Every day I am forced to watch as people degrade themselves and others trying to give themselves the satisfaction of a false superiority.

I think you should talk to the person and the professor after everyone discusses the ratings. Yeah I been in your shoes, what i think it is that some people are just racist or don't like a person for some underlying reason. But you SHOULD talk to BOTH afterwards

There is no nice way to say bad things. But their behavior is bad so go ahead and tell them, without laughing or anything-"clean up after you just I clean up after me." they'll think you're drank but they will get the message or you will need to get another room as some humans are really animals. People always obey and never grant-don't sya your point as a "wish" but make it sound like a "law." Wait a sec hahahaha. Have them read these answers hahahaha
