Get a sense of humour, it is only tongue in cheek, not my problem if you are personalising it.

You don't see Fred having a sook & saying the reference to Taxi drivers was directed at him.

OH & santos your generalization of truckies is very good, glad I have never had a relationship with one.

This might be pointing out the bleeding obvious but I think the word "profession" has been misused in this thread. Maybe the more appropriate word is "career" or "occupation".

All are acceptable.

Lemme explain, a professional is a doctor, lawyer, dentist, accountant, teacher, surgeon, chiropractor and the like.

It is not any old person with a job eg fast food worker, sales assistant, football umpire or a taxi driver.

Unless they make it their career.

That seems like a ****y status grab you're trying there. Do you consider an electrician to be professional?

I'm not sure that I'd like my house wired up by one that wasn't! Ok point taken, I have an appalling sense of humour and I'm fully aware of my need for a lobotomy.

I am also aware that my original post was not terribly pleasant and for that I apologise. I had only ever heard the word "profession/professional" mentioned in the one context and it was wrong for me to be so rude.

Just go easy on the kids that serve up your fast food - they're seriously doing their best and I'm sure they wouldn't object if you decided to jump behind the counter one day to help them out so you got your food faster.

Thought of this thread yesterday when having lunch at Maccas and whitnessed the pimplefaced rabble going on behind the counters. Laughing and screaming as they yell out "more quarters" with their backs to waiting customers most of the time. It took at least 20 mins to get served and by then our lunch break was almost over.

As much as i think they are little ****ers though and degrading themselves by working there it's a damn sight more than i ever did at that age so have to respect them for trying.
