Calling Cards of Morons


Recommended Posts

Folk who dress their job up to sound far more important than it actually is.

I know a lassie who's a barber.  She calls all her customers 'clients'.   Makes her sound like a prossie.  You cut old men's hair at 9 quid a pop.  You aren't doing the hair at the Paris Fashion Show hen.

I think barbers can call their customers clients if they have to phone up and book an appointment but not if they just turn up and wait.

Her job is the latter.

Social workers who label the people they help "Service Users" rather than "Clients", as the the latter would imply they had rights, and a measure of dignity.
