All jobs are important. If they weren’t, those jobs wouldn’t exist.

However, some people view their profession as so important that they begin to develop a superiority complex.

This can be true for all professions, but Redditors maintain it’s more common in certain professions.


It all started when Redditor nameisMark asked:

“What profession attracts douchebags the most?”

Retail Snobs

“Clerks in high-end fashion boutiques. So snotty and pretentious, I mean...you work for them, you are NOT them. And most likely your clients are wealthier than you. Chill the f**k down.”

– Leocut78

“Some are fine but others act like youre the one who doesnt belong there. Like lol bruh you just work there. It's not like you can even afford anything inside. Which is no big deal but don't act like you're gatekeeping that store”

– watthekauloisthis

“Love the folks in high-end watch stores who have a huge ego about working at the mall and can’t afford a single product there.”

– Skydog57

"Salesmen."

"I remember when I bought my first house. COULD have bought one much sooner, but was just doing the young person thing of moving around for job promotions, etc. (Keep in mind, I was still only 29 when the below story happened.)"

"I was not/am not definitely not part of the generation that considered (outside of work) dressing down as wearing some khakis and a button up. Nope. I'll wear my sweats and a hoodie. Thanks."

"Anyway, I went to the furniture store closest (less than five minutes away) not because it seemed like the nicest place, but because it was close. A salesman asks "Can you afford anything in here?" The very stereotypical salesman - either in his 50s or aged terribly, probably weighed 2x-3x more than me, can tell he has 14 cents in his savings account - too. Not like some world-class salesman working on Wall Street."

"I wanted to tell him I had more money in my pocket than he has in his entire life, but I just turned around and walked away."

The Clique Game

"Doctor here. Nearly half or more of my colleagues are a**holes"

– echophobos

"Medicine and the hospital environment is high school all over again, and the lounge is the cafeteria."

– ZombieDO

"The academic system they pass through to get to medical school does not reward good personality or balance."

– boredtxan

Please Don't Convince Me

"Any sales job. The competitive nature of the job means that the more confident and pushy you are, the more successful you are. It draws a certain personality type."

– Kazman2007

"Assumptive language is one of the most off-putting aspects of the dating world, imo. If I get the feeling you’re trying to sell me on going out/going home with you I definitely don’t want to."

– mypancreashatesme

Power Over The People

"Anybody in the criminal justice system. The amount of power they have over the general public or incarcerated individuals is horrifying and exploited far too often. These people also tend to adopt a gang mentality worse than the people they arrest"

"Speaking as someone who’s got incarcerated immediate family, 80% prison guards my family has dealt with are violent thugs and should be in prison themselves for the heinous things theyve done."

– SeraphimSpit

"I'm A Professional"

"Fitness trainers… particularly male ones. My f*cking god. I don’t know if it’s the steroids or testosterone but jesus christ."

– FizzyBeverage

"Honestly I’m a female persona trainer, but the first interview I had with a male fitness trainer was awful. He kept talking about how he basically knew everything there was to know in the fitness industry, which is ridiculous because it’s an ever evolving science. Anyway, if I’m generalizing I completely agree. Although I have met some extremely kind male fitness trainers as well."

– Lil_gumph

Necessary Technology

"Internet and Phone companies. (Rogers/Bell in Canada)"

– Full_Echo_3123

"THIS"

– redkat23

The Builders

"I don't know about most but I am starting to really not like civil engineers. My current pick."

– who_said_I_am_an_emu

Abuse Of Power

"bouncers. And I've never been in trouble with the law in my life or been in a fight etc but I've seen enough of them in action just being abusive power trippers and escalating situations needlessly. It's often akin to school yard bullying."

– billythepub

Money, Money, Money

"anything to do with money: bank, insurance ...etc"

– jenoworld

"How has no one said finance, my goodness."

– little_old_me_

Yikes!

"MLM's."

"Kimberly may be busy posting pictures of her "girl boss" mug while boasting about her ability to run her own company on her own time while being a super mom but I dont want her ugly leggings, crappy skincare or oil of oregano I can use to cure asthma, crowsfeet and the flu. Kimber is insufferable and I need to go to my real job that actually pays the bills."

– Solid-Question-3952

"I'm Your Biggest Fan"

"Paparazzi"

– SuvenPan

"This should be way higher. Paparazzi are scum."

– DisneyFoodie20

"Hey that’s not fair what did pizza ever do to you"

– Road_Warrior0711

What Happened To Beside Manner?

“Worked healthcare IT.

I've never met a surgeon that who wasn't putting literally every bit of effort they had into "The World's Biggest D-bag" contest.”

– KhaosElement

“I met one briefly who wore a big medallion, presumably by choice”

– PsychologicalTowel79

Yeah, I saw that coming!

Trump promised a "Trump dividend" of $5000 to every adult if Republicans win both chambers of Congress, asked his supporters to do him “the biggest favor” and “pretend” they are voting for him in November.
