This reminds me of the simpsons when Lisa learns what kind of life her teachers live so she decides to be much nicer to these people who spend so much of their days with children sacrificing to a life of service and little thanks.
But you’re the opposite.
Face it: kids can be a lot. Sometimes you got to own that you were the little shit in someone’s life sometimes.
Fuck bankers
To normal people: be nice to kids because they need the support and encouragement to grow into stable adults with a healthy sense of self worth.
To the selfish people: be nice to kids because you never know when you might need their mercy in the future.
Have you seen what kind of people a spoilt child turns into? It’s tyranny. That’s not a selling point.
It says a lot about you that your takeaway from my comment was that being kind and encouraging to kids is spoiling them.
For people: be nice to kids because you later need them to pay your "elderly money"
I'm all for pettyness in most cases.. but uhh. This is a bit much don't ya think?
No quarter to people who treat children like shit.
I’d like to know more context. Without it, it makes the poster seem like a traitor.
You don't get to choose. The numbers go into a spreadsheet. An answer comes out.
Yeah, my reading of this is that this poster took particular personal satisfaction from denying an application, but it didn't cross my mind that there was any element of actual control or decisionmaking.
It's like when someone cuts you off and then crashes their car. You didn't cause the crash, and a crashed car is a much more severe punishment than simple rudeness would deserve, but you can still derive satisfaction from the sequence of events.
agreed and affirmed but since we're here, fuck banks
If I had it I'd share it!
Someone was mean to me so i killed them - completely sane reaction.
Aah yes. Because declining someone's mortgage application = literal murder.

have you heard of stylistic devices? this one is called ~~exaggeration~~ hyperbole.
No, it's called hyperbole.
From Merriam-Webster...
(Woops...hit meant to add)...saying exaggeration instead of hyperbole isn't wrong.

I've never heard the phrase swings and roundabouts used this way.
Usually it means two things are similar so you don't really have strong feelings either way.
what goes around comes around. things swing one way and then another.
Ok, but I've never heard the phrase used that way.
Sometimes you are on the recieving end of the shit winds, sometimes you are the bellow.
