Because just ike in this story, it’s the oldest trick in the book. Weaponized incompetence at its finest. They’ll shrug, sigh dramatically, and insist they just don’t get it, even though they’ve been at the company since dial‑up internet. Then they’ll hit you with a compliment thinly disguised as manipulation, you’re just so good at this, or you’re the billing expert here, and suddenly their job becomes your job.
The best part is the double standard. The same people who claim something is too confusing for them magically become experts whenever you say you’re struggling. One moment they’re helpless, the next they’re condescending. It’s not about skill. It’s about who they can get to clean up after them.So when she finally snapped and tossed the comment right back, pointing out that billing is hard for them just like quoting is hard for her, it wasn’t impolite. It was fair. The professional equivalent of finally returning a serve after six months of being the office dumping ground. And of course, her coworker didn’t like it. Entitled people never do when someone stops cooperating with their performance.
