Yeah, I agree. Some people have no real choice and it's nothing against them. It's only when they act like it makes them better people or they think an 80 hour week should be normal that it's annoying.
I agree. I have noticed that the workaholic types are miserable, stressed, and impatient most of the time. But they also insist on staying that way, why would someone want to stay miserable? If they're working extra hours because they're desperate for money, way behind on bills, etc., that I understand. But the workaholic types I know we're talking about aren't working extreme hours for the money and some of them don't even need the extra money, it is a mental thing where excess working 70-80 hours a week is what they always want to do, but they are also always miserable. I don't get that either. I've known several people that fit this description. It's the word workaholic, it's something in their system, it has nothing to do with money stresses or being behind on bills. Like an alcoholic, it's something in their system, something they feel they have to do whether they have money or not. I guess I'm also talking from the workaholics I've known myself, like my step dad or a couple guys at my old job. One of them bought a Lexus, and he was talking about this new pool table he bought for his basement, so money for bills sure wasn't an issue for him. Then my step dad, I've heard him talk to my mom about a big savings account he's got. But still works 70-80 hours a week and he's always irritable yelling "Goddamitt!!!" over every tiny little imperfection in the world he comes across. I keep thinking "dude, chill out".
Yeah exactly, if you're really that miserable maybe find a way to change your life, lower your spending so you need to earn less. Don't be a scab and resent other people for not being as miserable as yo are.
IIN I don't like "hard working" people?
