Has anyone ever yelled at you?

Post Reply New Topic

One time, I was working at a McDonald's and the manager yelled at me for not cooking the burgers. He didn't like it when I told him I figured nobody would know the difference.

I hate being yelled at. It destroys my concentration because I will think about the incident all day.

LOL . I was wondering how this thread would develop considering the title. It evolved well enough I think.

Yelling at someone is immature behavior. It can also demonstrate incompetence and/or lack of self-control.

This is true regardless of whether the person being yelled at is a child or adult. If someone says, "But you need to yell at kids, you can't just let them get away with things", then my reply to that is No, yelling at kids is NOT necessary or appropriate, as evidenced by "SuperNanny" Jo Frost.

Next time someone yells at you, say, "Stop acting so immature." Sometimes a punishment or penalty is necessary, but not yelling. Yelling is unacceptable behavior IMHO.

I think you probably deserved some punishment or penalty, but the manager should not have yelled at you. A more mature and competent person would not have yelled. If I was the manager, I probably would have just told you in a normal voice that I was taking $50 off your pay for this week. Or maybe I would have said in a normal voice, "If you don't want this job, there are plenty of other people who do."

You could've killed someone doing that. Consider yourself lucky you didn't get fired on the spot.

I guess I must make an easy target for my Father.
