I'm a 68 year old truckdriver from Canada. First time viewing a JJ Cruise entry. I found you both pleasant and knowledgeable in your presentation. Much more than some of the more mainstream vloggers. I've no doubt your numbers will continue to grow. As for the woman in this particular scenario, some people can't be fixed as they don't see themselves as needing to be fixed. Of course you already know that. Best of luck guys.

[@JJCruise]

Thanks David for watching and kind words! Safe travels in your trucking career! 🛻

[@lindam2733]

Suite, high royalty status or not, there is NEVER a reason to treat anyone poorly like that! And I will never understand how people can treat the crew so badly when they are all working so hard to make our cruise the best possible. Just BE KIND!!! 💖

[@JJCruise]

We completely agree! 👏🏽

[@annaspradlin4874]

I totally agree with you. I was raised to adhere to the "golden rule ", treat others as you would have them treat you. I think it's always a good rule of thumb.

[@daveduffy2823]

Because some people think because they spent the money, they deserve the red carpet treatment. It is just a distorted sense of entitlement.

[@davidshiman3906]

I believe that is why the word (not the name) “Karen” is now in the dictionary.

[@larryhall4608]

I agree 100%, but there are people out there that figure if they can afford a cruise they are above the people that work there. As ugly as it is.

[@chuckgrigg9481]

I was actually racially profiled when walking into a Loyalty Lounge. The woman asked me if I knew where I was and if I belonged there. I just kind of ignored her and enjoyed my time there until my wife showed up and we departed for the Theater. The entire time I could see her staring our way. Later we found out that we were actually at a higher loyalty level than she was. Ha!

[@kimrodriguez1698]

Ha! is right :) !

[@candacegillespie5192]

We just got off a cruise every one but us were on the phone.we just proposely unplugged for . .their were people that complained about everything. We don't care .we aways change subject .one time my husband left the table for a minute and I told the coplainer. My husband has a heart condition and can't be stressed. She I Stanly stopped complaining and started to talk about heart issues.my husband asked me later .do you think she guessed about my heart issue because of me not eating salt. I said I guess lol

[@JJCruise]

Sorry to hear this happened to you!We’ve gotten this too, but for age reasons. They couldn’t believe we could have this high of loyalty status with being as young as we were. 😅

[@authenticallykyle]

Never understood why ppl go on vacation just to complain wow......one thing I'll never do is treat a person poorly who is handling my food or any person for that matter! Glad yall handled this with grace and class!

[@JJCruise]

[@nerd1949]

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw this video.

[@triodekt66]

Overheard from a disgruntled cruise customer: This is way too much ice. Who do I talk to about removing all this ice? The maître d’ walks over, looking at the lapel of his coat, reading the word “ titanic” on his lapel 😂

[@dena-mo118]

It's most amazing what the crew has to endure via "entitled" cruisers. Kudos to all of them who handle these situations week after week. I do believe the "ice" demand is like nothing ever witnessed before. Like you, all I could do was to laugh at the end of your video about the lady pulling out her cell phone! Priceless. Great report!

[@JJCruise]

Thanks Dena-Mo! The Crew were Phenomenal the entire night handling her demands. Props to them!! 👏🏽

[@vickiezalesky8222]

Just got off the Odyssey and had an entitled woman at the Schooner Bar going off on a bar tender because another bartender waited on people out of order and she should have been given a refill of ice before other people because she was first and a higher class! He thought she was kidding and he laughed and she screamed at him that it wasn’t a joke!!! It’s so sad how people earn their way to the top and then think they are better than others!

[@jormungaurd]

I used to work in the Loyalty department for a cruise line, and your story is completely believable. Don't get me wrong some of the guests that I talked to were some of the nicest people, but every so often I would get a guest that had completely unbelievable requests that they demanded I fulfill. As an example I had one couple call in because they wanted a different stateroom, which is normally a standard request and easily accommodated. The problem came in the fact that they didn't want just any stateroom they wanted one specific stateroom, that was already occupied. I offered them every stateroom I could, including getting permission to upgrade them from the balcony they wanted up to a suite right next door to the room they wanted, for no price increase, they would not take it. I finally had to hand them off to my supervisor, because in their words I was too much of an idiot to know how important they were. Sad thing was they weren't even in the highest loyalty tier, so I can only imagine how bad they're going to get as they cruise more with that cruise line.

[@lindacarrasquillo3944]

First time cruiser in May 2023 on Celebration. We had many conversations with so many people who were Gold and higher. They were great and they could see that we were lowly Blue status by our cards hanging around our necks. They all had great advice and we just had great conversations with them. Where I have had issues with people of Gold or higher status has been on Facebook groups. I am a member of many many many Carnival groups. It really shocks me how some people talk about anyone at a lower status. No one should act like they are better than the next. We are all there to have a good time. I really am the person who just kicks back and relaxes. You do you and I will do me. My husband and I keeps to ourselves for the most part but will share a table with anyone and conversate. We had a blast and are so grateful that we did not run into any of those people. I love your channel and think you guys are great and hope to run into you on a ship one day just so I can say "Hi".

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

I have never been on a cruise, but I have encountered people like that in life. They rarely ever are wealthy and connected. Usually trying to prove that they are a big deal when they really are nothing special! Thank you for the video!

[@AnonyMous-nl7ig]

A great experience...if you can, book a cruise asap.

[@imacrayzcritter]

I’ve been in the tourism industry nearly 30 years. Loyalty program people can be some of the absolute worst - whether they are theme park “passholes,” hotel “elitists” when 2/3s your hotel is also platinum/vacation club, or cruise ship. You can’t even say people who also come from customer service are the nice ones because I have seen plenty with the air of “Well *I* would never do that!” Suuuure. I just hope when I go solo next month in April for the first time no one comes after me on my phone. I’m an introverted solo traveler and plan to scroll while waiting for a meal or show or read a book on my phone. I do not work that ship and I’ll be damned if anyone talks to me like I am. 😂

[@tchanel8245]

I wish somebody I don't know would have the audacity to interrupt me on my vacation and tell me to get off my phone. You two are definitely better than me handling those people lol

Thankfully I’ve not encountered anyone quite this bad on a cruise. It’s a shame that some people behave like this and treat others so poorly. The good thing is, I’m sure the positive vibes that you two alway seem to exude helped to counteract her negativity! Great video, guys!

[@aeroAdvocate]

A cruise is a microcosm of the real world. Every type of person and situation you encounter on a daily basis you also experience on a cruise, just on a smaller scale. Unfortunately, the likelihood of repeatedly meeting the same a-hole again is much higher on a shit compared to real life.

[@lenvella9541]

Wow!! Just WOW!! Some people have no appreciation for other people. I'm so sorry you had to experience such craziness. First time watching you guys, won't be the last!!

[@loannealford1113]

I was profiled by a flight attendant. I used to fly a lot because of my job and that’s why I always get free first class upgrade. I like to dress comfortable when I fly because I don’t have to go to work when I landed. I guess I didn’t dress nice enough for first class because the flight attendant stop me and asked if I was going the wrong way. I was just shocked and show her my ticket. During the flight, I called her over to show her my lifetime platinum card for this particular Airline. I still have over a million points and at one time I had Almost 2 million points 😂😂. Never judge anyone…period!

[@davideck]

Maybe she’s not judging. I think people who travel in premium should make a little effort to appear smart as well as comfortable. I dont think shorts or sweatpants are appropriate attire in any cabin, but especially at the front.

[@loannealford1113]

I agree with you. We have had over 60 voyages and find that there are those that complain that there is a sunrise first of all and that it is on the wrong side of the ship.

[@crimlarksSteve]

That is the strangest thing I've ever heard of. Of course, my wife and I have never stayed in a suite (and are unlikely to do so unles there is one heck of a sale). But everyone on the ship should treat the staff with courtesy and compassion. They work long hours to make sure we all have a wonderful time on our cruise. There's no excuse for being nasty to the cruise staff.

Clearly, NONE of her tantrum was about you two. While this woman is obnoxious, she is also very troubled. VERY troubled. As humans, it is really difficult NOT to respond to personal attacks. Kudos to you two keeping your cool! It's important to realize that NONE of her tantrum was actually about YOU. 💜💜💜

[@JJCruise]

Susan, we completely agree and feel like the crew did a phenomenal job handling the issue as well! They knew this was an outlandish request but still satisfied her by not harming our experience at all. 👏🏽

[@Are_We_Having_Tea]

A lot of people who are in loyalty programs, or in some sort of tiered perks program always seem to be worried that they aren’t being perceived as special or elite enough, so they have to go out of their way to make sure EVERYONE knows that they are SPECIAL or IMPORTANT or entitled to the world kowtowing to their every whim. Look, if you are really that wealthy you’d either have chartered your own yacht or actually own your own yacht with a staff to cater to your every whim. You know, a 200+ foot yacht that sleeps only 16 guests and has a staff of 30 people? You wouldn’t be acting like a three year old in need of a nap in the communal dining room of a ship with thousands of other guests if you were, in reality, important….

[@justwatching190]

I had just reached my Diamond status before my last cruise on Anthem of the seas. I was thrilled to go into the Diamond lounge and I must say no one turned a hair! I got some goodies,was joined by others,got one of my four free drinks and had a swell time! No “status” attitudes at all. Most people are there it’s to have a good time! This woman had more problems than the two of you having dinner 😢

Hello! “Haters gonna hate.” It’s really not you. It’s always about them. We will be Diamonds in three weeks after our Freedom of the Seas cruise to Nassau and Coco Cay. We’re getting excited! BTW, we’ve mostly cruised interiors and a few balconies. A Suite will be coming one day. Keep me inspired with your videos.

[@jdoe836]

WOW!! Did you go up and ask her to put her phone away? Some people! I'm in the highest tier of my hotel chain and I'm not that picky. But have witnessed those in the same tier flip out over stupid stuff. Treating people with DIGNITY and RESPECT as well as using PLEASE and THANK YOU does wonders. Oh, don't for get to SMILE at people too.

[@micheledcosta4786]

Thank you for sharing your story. That is absolutlely disgusting behaviour on that woman's part. First off, on all our cruises, the staff and crew have never been anything but gracious and accomdodating. No one ever should be treated like that regardless of their status. Its just darn rude!!! Some people just are never happy. My heart goes out to the crew who had to deal with her. Thanks for sharing!!! Have a wonderful day.

[@JJCruise]

The Crew were Phenomenal!! Super accommodating and Professional with every response. Never once did we have her antics affect us. We also told the Maitre D at the end of dinner that we are so sorry they have to deal with those demands. The Maitre D said thank you but it’s really no worry for us at all as long as you enjoyed your meal and our service was good. ☺️

[@virginialemm864]

Hysterical. Just hysterical! I told my husband that you described here, and he laughed and said “there’s one on every ship!” Luckily, we haven’t come across any, thus far, but MAN, WHAT A PIECE OF WORK! No wonder she was dining alone…no one could stomach her! 🤣

[@marcyligon9965]

Just found you guys. You’re very entertaining !!! ❤ I actually had a VERY similar experience on my first cruise back in 2012. Eating breakfast in a main dining area where we shared large tables with other guests. This one particular woman was telling everyone how her daughter just lost a couple grand in the casino. Like, “Oh I said she could 500 but not a penny more !” And it was very braggy. THEN she tells the waiter she wants cranberry juice. He says, Maam we don’t have cranberry in this restaurant but we do on the other end of the ship! He looked at her like Please don’t make me go get it. Lol. Well you know where this is going !! She was like I WANT CRANBERRY ! Well, he fetched her juice for her and guess what ???? She never even took one sip of it. She got up and left the table about five minutes after he brought it. Everyone was watching in disbelief. We all talked about her after she left.

[@rtw68]

The gall of people thinking that they are better than everyone else because of their loyalty status never ceases to amaze me. I was on an RCCL cruise and one older gentleman had a name badge with his name and "Diamond status" on it. Really? I could care less what your status is, treat people with respect and be a fun part of our vacations (that we all pay a lot for by the way).

[@taustin6524]

Her outrageous behavior speaks volumes about her insecurities and miserable disposition. I’m sorry this happened both for you and the staff. We do occasionally get to travel in suite class. While I feel the service inside the suite areas is a cut above, I don’t see any difference when we’re out and about on the rest of the ship.

[@keithwolk]

[@herminacarmona8426]

As a minority female, I have been asked multiple times if I work in a certain department. So I could run whatever errands they need! Never mind I have no uniform on. I am in the top tier of most lines I cruise because as a solo traveler, I often get double points so reach higher level faster. Don’t mind the idiots, we will never get rid of them. Challenge them so they hopefully become more aware of reality, but never let them cool your enthusiasm for cruising. The sense of entitlement that some people seem to have is enough to sour life for others. Keep outing them whenever possible. Good work!

[@shellyvick6300]

OMG--every cruise! I don't know if it has to do with status--there's just a lot of rude people. We had just left San Juan on a Viking West Indies cruise when at our first meal, a man complained that this was the worst service he had ever had. It was ironic because the service was excellent. Then a couple of weeks ago we were on NCL through Panama Canal, and a lady complained to the security that a woman was drunk near the pool and should be removed--that part was true. Anyway, she then went off on NCL staff that they better do something really "big" for her because it was so traumatic. My husband and I decided they were grifters.

[@travelingtrishthiel]

Guys, your titles are getting better and better..LOL. You mentioned the "class system" and I do think staff are taught to treat some people with "more respect" due to being in a suite. We actually personally experienced this ourselves when we were on the MSC Divina. We won a ridiculously low bid on a yacht club cabin. As such we were afforded all the same perks as those who paid full price for their YC cabins. Our personal butler often referred to those who were not in the YC area cabins as the "GENERAL POPULATION!" She explained how we could use our key card to bypass all those GP people waiting for or already on elevators. In addition, she told us that she would make all specialty reservations and escort us to them so we could bypass all those GP people. We walked ourselves. LOL. We went for gelato one night and when the server behind the counter saw we were YC, his whole demeanor changed. He said "OHHH, you're YC. I can do whatever you need." He tried to wait on us before the people who were already standing there! Insane. I think the lines think that because those in suites and perhaps with high loyalty status deserve this type of treatment because they have spent so much money. Right or wrong? It depends on your viewpoint. What is wrong, is the way that woman handled herself while at dinner. I hope she watched this and realized just how wrong she was!

[@JJCruise]

Thanks Trish for bringing this up! We have heard MSC is very different being it’s an Italian Cruise Line vs. some of the mainstream American lines. So wild to hear a crew member say “GP”! 😅 Suite guests definitely deserve what they pay for, totally agree. It’s definitely the disrespect for others and irrational demands of crew that rub us wrong whenever we see it.

[@bethanylounsbury5728]

You two are lovely and I hope to meet you again....well we (my husband and I) got to briefly meet Jordan on the Vloggers Extravaganza (Jared was visiting with others and we didn't want to interrupt), but my husband and I enjoyed talking with you Jordan, you're so genuine!! ....it comes across in your vlogs too😊 until we meet again!

[@brianburton7716]

My partner and I have seen similar to this (outrageous demands for service, complain about everything) in the main dining room and the suite restaurant on various cruises. FYI: sometimes it's sort of a scam to make enough noise that the restaurant manager gives them a certificate to the steakhouse or whatever to appease them so they still leave a good end of cruise survey or so they don't call the cruise line main office to complain. I.e. They have learned that their bad behavior gets them a reward.

[@jackiegriffiths7958]

That's disgusting. I can totally see people doing that. Another reward for bad behavior.

[@sallyjune4109]

[@anitalhoward4]

I’ve witnessed this ridiculous behavior before and will NEVER forget it. While at Guest Service a Platinum/Diamond cruiser was in the line for Platinum/Diamond guest. An emergency with a bleeding child was brought to the attention of the crew member and they immediately went into action helping the injured/bleeding child. The lady waiting in the line for Diamond/Platinum then became irate and yelled she was next! That she was Diamond/platinum!!! I as well as everyone waiting in line we’re shocked to think, that whatever she needed superseded that of the injured child!!!! You are correct when saying people like that has a major problem within themselves!! Those people don’t deserve to cruise. Everyone is on vacation and it doesn’t matter your status, race etc.

[@JJCruise]

Yikes! A bleeding child should always come first 😅

[@jimneufeld1073]

The only reason you attain the top level is that you have had the privilege of taking many cruises. The better you treat and respect the staff, the more they will try their best to serve you. The only experience I have had with entitled passengers came with someone at my table snapping their fingers at the staff to get their attention. I strongly suggested that they have some patience and wait for their server to return. He was so insulted that he got up and left. The rest of the table had a very peasant meal, no complaints and the only comment from my other table mates was "some people think they are so special."

[@JJCruise]

Thanks Jim for sharing your similar experience! Definitely a true takeaway!

This reminds me of a situation I had. It wasn't on a ship but similar. I was at the Dorothy Chandler pavilion in LA to see an opera. During the intermission my son went and bought me a sandwich because my sugar was low. While eating part of the sandwich the usher came up to me and said a lady wanted me removed because even though the show wasn't on at the time she said it was disrespectful that I eat in the theater. The usher said he wasn't going to remove me but to finish the sandwich. In the meantime the lady was 3 rows in front of me. I really didn't notice right away that she was standing at her seat staring at me giving me the death stare. When she realized I wasn't being removed she yelled from her seat how disrespectful I was to eat at an opera. She didn't believe the reason I was eating. Anyways that's my story

It was true that there was something wrong with the receipt or something wrong, but he didn’t have to take it out badly on the cashier, since it was not her fault it was the computer or some other reason and I spoke up against my father course I got chewed out by him, but at least I spoke up

@@AlexHernandez-yb9rx yes good that you stand up some times but when people are too aggressive I guess also wise when we have to back off when the other aggressive person becomes too dangerous and let police or security sometimes handle the problem. Good for you. ! And glad you didn’t get hurt or anything

[@jholly5747]

You guys are too nice, if that was me in that sweet restaurant, I would’ve asked to be moved closer to that woman after she moved. Then continue to be on my phone and made sure she saw that. It may not be in your nature to do this, but I think you should’ve said something to that woman because you know the weight step cannot say anything against this lady.

[@williamf4544]

Well no one will ever accuse you of being too nice - Or even just nice

[@katiekendrick8866]

I love hearing about your misadventures! You always have such a good attitude about these things and keep a level head! Way to guys!

[@JJCruise]

Thanks Katie! We definitely cruise enough to see a lot 😅

[@D.BethBeal]

Just came across you two as I am researching because we're cruising next year. You are storytellers extraordinaire! Sorry you had to experience entitled at their very worst- but then again, it made for quite the drama to pass on to us. Too bad people, cruising or not, cannot be kind.

[@amyhadley6021]

I am sad for her. There is a reason she was alone. Her getting on her phone would have probably made me want to complain about her and see what she does. Maybe it wasn't the phone but something else....I mean, she complained about ice!!! I think it was the fact that you are together as a couple and she didn't want to see it. People are so ridiculous!

[@pamelabrauer9450]

Sometimes it may be better not to present facts not in evidence. (Oh dear God, I believe I’ve been watching too many Law and Order episodes.) 🤦‍♀️ But seriously, we don’t know what was going on in that woman’s head. But personally I would prefer to think it was not that. I do agree, some people are ridiculous.

[@JJCruise]

We were definitely feeling mixed feelings. She seems entitled but could also just be lonely. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@pamelabrauer9450]

@@JJCruise that would make me really sad if you were, for one minute, made to feel that she was behaving in this way because she didn’t approve of you as a couple. (My comment above was in response to the above poster.) In my universe, that attitude is something I find intolerable.

No wonder she was on her own...nothing will change there-horrible sad woman. We have encountered people being really rude to employees on ships, especially in the restaurants...what makes them think they're better than everyone else? We love to get to know the crew-they're wonderful people and super hard workers. Your smiles brighten my day guys, keep it up!

[@larry4111]

I agree 100% with your earlier statement that it's not necessarily about loyalty status. I was on a Royal cruise with 2000 Diamond+ members out of 3600 passengers. Almost everyone I met was Diamond. I expected them to be snooty, stuck up, etc. Boy, was I surprised! They turned out to be some of the nicest cruisers I've met. Very down to Earth. I was almost at Diamond myself so I asked for recommendations about ships, itineraries, etc. during convos and they were friendly and helpful and never acted like they were "too good" to talk to strangers.

[@JJCruise]

Yes! Completely agree Larry! We think High Loyalty and Suite Guests get bad reps from a few loud bad apples 🍎 Overall, they can be some of the nicest and wisest cruisers! 👏🏽

[@paulready8897]

Should have contacted the manager and requested to have the woman removed from the restaurant. Would have filed a complaint against her. She is a public nuisance and should have been restricted to her stateroom.

[@michaelsword9213]

Status anywhere shouldn’t matter because in the end it really doesn’t. Enjoying your time, and being a good person…that’s what matters.

[@JJCruise]

Agreed!! 👏🏽🙌🏽

[@3820jack]

That's one thing for the top weird things that you will never forget! We listened to the complaints about dirty beaches on a private island.

[@susanwestfall2051]

We were on a cruise where, at dinner on the first night, one man at our table was incensed that our assistant waiter was in training. He felt he deserved a REAL assistant waiter and DEMANDED a different on be assigned to our table. He was a real blowhard for the rest of the meal, pretty much letting everyone else know how important he was. Luckily, the next night he and his wife were at a different table, and their place was taken by a lovely couple. The man was Belgian and his girlfriend was Ukrainian. They ended up getting engaged on the cruise. We have kept contact with them since then, and they are happily married and living in Belgium.

[@JJCruise]

Awww we love the happy ending (but that one man… WOW!! 😳)

[@dos14dos14]

I might have asked to be moved, too!

[@CeremmoniesbyJudith]

The status thing, exclusive areas, etc is something that irritates us to no end. We are a higher loyalty level with RC & prefer the perks that can just be put on our cards & used without the flashy other stuff. The class system cruise lines are moving to is taking us back to the days of Titanic!

[@JJCruise]

We love the Diamond Drinks 🍹, but we could care less on some of the other “status” perks. 👍🏽

[@justwatching190]

I so agree!❤️

I think if I see something this bad I'm going to give the worker a 20 dollar bonus tip and say, without using my inside voice, "Hey, here take this. You deserve it for what you put up with."

My husband and I are fortunate enough to stay in suites on occasion. I would never dream of behaving like the woman that you encountered and I feel terrible for the crew members who would have to deal with someone like that. Most of the other people we meet in the suite areas, including people who have loyalty status, are very nice and also pleasant to the crew. Some people are just awful.

[@LisaSoulLevelHealing]

Have you done a video on why you prefer cruising to regular travel? Im curious what makes it such a great deal. Is it like a floating vegas for 10 days? Lol.

[@helenmontgomery5357]

The cruises on the show the love boat was always so sweet and loving.

[@thomasrpokorny]

Sometimes my wife and I want to break out our laptop and catch up on some emails during downtime on a cruise. It doesn’t mean we aren’t enjoying ourselves or are working the entire cruise. It just means it relaxes us both to do so with the ocean as a backdrop. Still it amazes me how many folks come up to us and chastise us for doing so. It’s like “you’re entitled to your opinion, just maybe keep it to yourself?”

[@theowensthree]

That's crazy, these old farts you know they are on their phone on Facebook 😜

[@Karebear59]

That is crazy. I Cruise several times a year and stay in suites on them all. I have never run into a situation like that. In fact I have met life long friends in the suite lounges. I guess there are unhappy miserable people everywhere but I’m happy to say I have not run into them. Most people are just having a wonderful time just being on a cruise ship.

[@TravelingStageManager]

With more & more cruise lines eliminating the daily paper schedules and everything being done through apps on your phone from muster drill to dinner reservations everyone will be on their phones on cruises soon. People like her are going to continue to flip out. Nothing you can do but keep the great attitudes and smile at them.

I was on a world cruise on a dining table next to a table of eight , a man on the table (travelling alone) had suffered a stroke a couple of years previous and when he was eating sometimes little dribbles of food came out of his mouth he always wore a napkin tucked in his shirt but some of the people on the table took offense and had the gentleman moved to another table. How mean of them, no compassion.

[@tracyherbert6900]

Everyone is equal. Doesn’t matter if you’re in a suite or top loyalty in the cruise programme, we are all equal, we are all there to enjoy cruising. My husband and I have been on two cruises, both times in suites. I’ve travelled in inside cabins and one with a porthole (I’m going way back to 1979 and into the late 80s on much much smaller ships). Our last cruise was 6 years ago - we treat everyone equally. Looking forward to cruising again at the end of this year.

[@MaddieOlson1993]

Treat EVERYONE with respect. The poor waiter.

[@fhpa3288]

We cruise a lot but never had anything like this, I did have someone from the ship to tell me that we was making to much noise in the room we was with about 6 other retired cop from Florida we was all my room, and when he left my door he dodn't make me come back

You guys do good job and we really appreciate you soon as I saw your channel, I was happy to subscribe. I got to tell you that in my career serving people in different professions I found out that there's a certain group of people who need to feel special by trying to harm others and it's really dissatisfied to see their lives typically you'll find out they tend to sit the same profile as their lady who you encountered. They are alone there alone because of the way they treat everyone and their miserable. They reap what they sow.
