Today, I was volunteering at a gift-wrapping booth to raise money for autism, and helping others takes my mind off the fact that my mom died at Christmas. While carefully wrapping a present, offering bows, ribbons, and a gift tag, a snobby bitch said to me, "You're not doing a very good job." FML

Ah, don't mind the stupid little shit. You obviously do a much better job than she ever would.

Shove all the stuff in her arms and tell her to do it herself.

If she cannot appreciate that VOLUNTEERS have sacrificed their time to make her day a bit easier, she needs to go wrap her own things. I cannot understand why people choose to be rude.

If you were not doing it the way she wanted, why the hell didn't she just do it herself in the first place. Fyl op.

Should have wrapped her up in wrapping paper like the Grinch did to Cindy Lu.

Wrap her head in an air-tight plastic bag with some sequins and a little pink bow on top. It will be the perfect present she'll never forget.

As a mother to a child with autism, thank you for choosing that particular activity to help you get through the holidays while you grieve. There are assholes everywhere. Her rude comment is a bigger reflection on her than you.

Despite the fact that you were a volunteer and the wrapping was for charity, if your organization was charging for the service, then their is an expectation of quality when somebody pays for something.

Or, she was being a bitch, just to be a bitch.

Only one person complained, so I have a feeling it's more it wasn't up to HER standards. I don't think they'd let op wrap without teaching her to do it if she was terrible.

but she said it in a completely non bitchy way."you're not doing a very good job" classified as constructive criticism any day. Don't be bitchy just because you're hypersensitive.

@86 That's not constructive, it's just criticism.

Also, you have no way of knowing it wasn't said in a bitchy way. The phrase might not be rude itself, but op indicated it wasn't said kindly.

I would've pushed everything back towards her and tell her to do it herself then.

I had this exact same thing happen to me once! There's something about gift-wrapping that brings out the perfectionism in some people. Like they expect that if they pay for someone to do it that it's going to come out shining with a holy light or something. They have this weird image in their head of a "perfectly" wrapped gift, but it's really a matter of taste usually- when I was volunteering to wrap I had to ask so many questions about what was "wrong" to find out that the person just didn't like the color of paper but was too stupid to realize that they didn't like it.
