Don't take this personally.

This is a rant. Just thought I would warn you.

What is it with people? I had three people tell me today not to take it personally. How can I not take it personally, I am a person, right? I mean- maybe not to them, to them I am just the customer service auto-bot on the other side of their phone, but when they start yelling at me and then say that I shouldn't take it personally, well?? What do they expect? For example:

"Don't take this personally, but that is so stupid. How %!@&% stupid are you, $%#@@??!!" It what way can I not take that personally.

"I don't care what it says, I KNOW you didn't mail it then. You are TRYING to make me late. You have to mail it sooner." When I tell them that I can't mail it sooner than we print it and that I can't control the USPS, "That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Don't take take this personally but what the hell is wrong with you?"

Next time someone tells me not to take it personally, I will tell ask them how they would like me to take it, minerally? Vegetablly?

don't take this personally, but maybe they were saying they weren't actually a person. Seems likely actually.
