Calm down. If you’ve never been this mad at work, you’ve never been forced to keep a low wage, unsatisfying job. It’s not cool behavior, but it’s not “psychopath” behavior either. These guys aren’t thinking about you, you egomaniac. These bags belong to the airline and probably all look like their immediate supervisor’s head to these guys

I've worked very shitty jobs. I didn't act this way. You're getting paid to do a job. Do it correctly or GTFO.

I guess you are just a better person than all the rest of us. Congratulations on rising above the fray

I think you’re overestimating how many people are shitheads and damage the property of people who did nothing to them. He’s normal. You’re not.

I think you don’t spend enough time with low wage workers, or you’re a snitch and everyone is on their best behavior around you

I think you spend too much time with assholes and now believe everyone does this crap. This isn’t normal. And it’s an insult to suggest that low wage workers behave like complete thugs when given the opportunity.

You’re adding a lot of baggage (pun intended) to my comments. I’ve said several times this isn’t the “right” thing to do, and I don’t think this is how all low wage workers think or act all or even most of the time. But these guys got filmed at their worst, and the comment section is completely oblivious to any awareness of class consciousness or workers rights, or the bigger picture in general. It’s just, “fuck these poors, they just like to act like animals for no apparent reason”. If these guys are pissed, there is probably a reason, and it probably has something to do with how they are treated, how they are compensated, and how much money the airlines make compared to them. Most people are pretty decent most of the time, no matter how the world treats them. Sometimes the struggle gets you down and you slam a bag on a conveyer belt. Rough baggage handling vs massive income inequality. I know where my concern lies.

You are one of those self-righteous people that makes the labor movement look bad. Stop defending this shit in the name of labor rights, they do not and should not be representative of our purpose. People are not mad because they’re poor, they’re mad because that behavior is unacceptable. Fuck you for actively damaging our cause.

Sorry that’s what you took from this comment thread. I didn’t just defend their behavior, I tried to shed some light on the reasons for it. Different opinions are allowed. You can try to keep me out of your tent, but those of us in the bigger more successful tent will make room for you when you gain some understanding or lose the taste for boot (now THAT was self-righteous!)

Careful man, trying to provide insight into human behaviour instead of judging low paid over worked workers from a ten second clip is basically heresy on Reddit

Glad you two can jerk each other off over how great of people you think you are.

It’s a fools errand, but I have the day off

They’re right, you’re wrong
