FOBs
I'd hate to go all Michael Richards in my blog, but I just need a minute to vent my observations. So sad because I am the biggest Seinfeld fan and K-K-Kramer was my favorite character. I have serious hesitations to buy the remaining seasons of Seinfeld on DVD without a sufficient apology from Richards. Now he went off on Jews too and backed up it by saying he himself was Jewish. Whatever man, just shut your mouth, stay out of the public eye and maybe you can bounce back like Mel Gibson.
Anyways, I am from India so I will use Richards' reasoning here to make these stereotypes. Why are FOBs so annoying? If you have to provide customer service to FOBs in any capacity be prepared to build a tolerance level up. These people can not be satisfied. They will penny pinch you until your exhausted and then they will claim that their expectations were not met. WHAT??!?! Dude, what the hell world do you live in where you get it your way on every single thing. When you buy something there is a risk that you take. That's it.
When I was in line on Thanksgiving Day at CompUSA, I couldn't help but notice the 1000s of FOBs in line. Saving money and finding great deals is a virtue, but being cheap is not. And get some proper deoderant, bro, goddamn!!!
Look, I'm not sitting on a high-horse looking down on these people. I get the same treatment on the other end when I visit my homeland, India. But when I go there, or any other country OR culture I assimilate, like most people do. That's all I want is some understanding. Just because we are both brown doesn't mean I'm going to hook you up. Because if the roles were reversed I wouldn't expect that treatment, because of the same reason. In fact, I avoid doing business with Indians in general because of the cheapness. It's in the genetic makeup.
There was alot more I wanted to let out here but I just lost momentum there is still work that needs to be done today!
