Fed up

  • I agree with almost everything written here from the inability to send a parcel at the post office (mine never got to its destination) and I spent 200 euro! to the beuraucracy and even the rude and envious italian attitude toward anyone demonstrating a higher degree of education, a greater financial situation (god forbid if you are foreign and young!). The thing I find the hardest is the way you have to literally argue with people in order to get respected. Example: You are spoken to in a demeaning way (most probably because the itlian in envious - usually because you have a better job or because ou speak english etc etc etc) and when ou let these cases go you see the situation getting worse and the next ime they're "shouting at you as if you are stupid or treat you like you aren't worthy!" But lets reverse and say you stand up for yourself and answer them back in theire very own rude manner or raise your voice at them (like they so often do to belittle you because they are insecure and want to feel better) - then there is an explosion - a huge fight - and then they respect you. This means: You have to FIGHT day in and day out just to be accepted as a human being! This country is worse than a zoo! Animals are more humble than these people who behave like desperate people!!!
