Why are some Rich so STINGY and MEAN??
Edited on Wed Dec-13-06 06:02 PM by dogday
My apartment complex used to file the mail in a back room and would allow anyone and everyone to go back to this room unsupervised and retrieve their mail... Because of this policy by my complex, I have had 4 packages stolen from me that were for my 11 year old daughter... The were confirmed delivered by the USPS and the Postman himself...

I blame them and I want them to take responsibility and reimburse me for the packages, and the amount is not that big, but the new owner told me to go away, he would not even discuss their role in this at all. I mean it's a small amount but it is driving me crazy the way he treated me like I was beneath him somehow.

So I went to work.. First off--complaint to the Postmaster Attorney General's office and then to the City police to get a case number and report mail theft. I also reported the mishandling of the mail as well, so I hope he has to install locked boxes for us all...Nobody but USPS employees are supposed to be handling the mail...

Mr. Allen P. Jacobson, you are rich, why won't you stand up and take responsibility for your mistake? That is all that I asked, and you had to treat me so badly....

I am like a dog with a bone and I am going to take a bite out of someone's ass....


edited because I don't want to offend all rich people, just this lousy one in particular...

Wish me luck everyone!!!! :thumbsup:

1. How do you think they got rich?
Good luck with the ass-biting.

5. Stingy is their middle name, and
I probably would not even be so hell-bent on this if the owner had not been so rude and would not even speak to me about this....

3. It's bad enough having to work for them, it's worse when you have to
Edited on Wed Dec-13-06 05:34 PM by The_Casual_Observer
live in an apartment and have to put up with them on your time off. I suggest you do whatever it takes to get your own place or at least a PO box at the UPS store or something, that way you will never lose anymore mail at least. I once tried to suscribe to Playboy while I lived in an apartment & never was able to get a single issue before they were stolen by the boys that lived in the complex.

13. I am hoping the Postmaster General makes this
guy put in locked mail boxes. The manager sorts all our mail and she is not an employee of the USPS...

7. The rich only find happiness in beating out someone, anyone. It
could be a pigeon, just as long as they win. And that schadenfraude doesn't give them much lasting pleasure, so they have to continually be beating someone out. I think many of them have a nasty mental disorder and are unable to find peace.

You could always get a post office box or a private mailbox with, like, Mailboxes, Etc., or someone like that (@ $100/yr).

Good luck.

10. Yeah that's how I got rich.
Beating a pigeon.

And shitting on people.

I wake up every morning looking forward to who I am going to shit on. If it isn't someone working for me I will shit on somebody at random.

And beat a pigeon.

I can't find peace unless I am shitting on someone.

:sarcasm:

9. I don't think all richies are mean.
Don't flame me, but there are a few that have philanthropy in their blood, and live to give! To say that all richies are mean is truly a stereotype. Unhappy people,especially prolonged, be they rich or poor, tend to turn out mean. Some richies become greatly disappointed when they realize that with all that money, they couldn't buy happiness.

11. Hey, greed means never having to say you're sorry
Maybe your slum lord wouldn't be so high and mighty if the people got angry enough thought his feudal claim to the land didn't exist.

16. I know some wonderful, generous, handsome rich people who
are nothing at all like that.

But enough about me.

K-I-D-D-I-N-G!!!! :)

However, in all seriousness dogday, even though I totally realize you didn't mean to, you should be careful about generalizations.

While I know some rich people who are disgustingly arrogant and thoughtless..... I also know some wealthy people who are progressives and would give the clothing off their backs to anyone in need.

They are truly saints. ;)

20. Well this is more about the fact he is rich
and won't pay me what he owes me which is a very small amount of money.. That, and he would not even discuss this with me.... You are right, but I think money makes him more of an asshole...

21. I think his being "rich"
(kinda subjective) just put him in a position to be an asshole to YOU. I would warrant he's pretty much an asshole all the time - even to people who have more wealth than he does.

Actually, I think there is a specific trait of certain property owners that makes them defacto assholes. Even if they aren't worth much at all.

19. I changed it cause I did not want to see
another thread that I was bashing all rich people, which I was not... Just this one in particular.. I am sure the rich are fabulous, I just know this guy does not belong in that category and that is my main point of my OP.....
