Cowards with Power
Cowards with Power – Obstacles are always in front of the person strong enough to Hustle.
Cowards with Power are people who challenge you because they have a title and that’s about it. That’s their claim to fame and if you don’t acknowledge their existence they are likely to push your papers back. You know these cowards whether they are the police, the bouncer at the club, the bank manager, or the hotel staff. That’s just to name a few but they outnumber us at least 100 to 1 in this game. They will show up in the most inappropriate places
You always have to keep the focus on your money, so what is it to acknowledge the coward. The problem with Cowards with Power is they are willing to take it to the Nth degree to prove a point. Their motivation comes out their jealousy and if they can say they held up someone at the airport or charged you double they will do it. What makes them funny is they are willing to mess up their money to slow you down. If you ever catch one outside they are like a dog outside it’s yard, most of these cowards tuck their tail and avoid all confrontations. Just think of them as Speed Bumps as they are harmless but you might have to slow down to get past them.
Bottom Line: Most Cowards with Power can only slow you down not really stop you!

I know what you mean, and the majority of this is tied into customer service and communications which have gone down the toilet in this country.
hey freeman… glad to see you’re back!
clnmike is right….there are alot of ppl in those industries who just dont give a damn because they know we need them
i also think a lot of managers are cowards with power. i dont pay them any mind but i dont let them punk me either
Unfortunately, all too often we must deal with those of whom you speak. But often the assertion of power in one sphere usually speaks of the absence of power in another. They might feel powerless outside the environs of their office; but, everyone else they may feel impotent. So they attempt to bolster their self-esteem by taking it out on you.
But the way I have learned to deal with this type is simply to flatter their ego. I just keep smiling and suggesting things to them as if it were their idea and usually I win in the end. Instead of getting angry, which only feeds the problem, you have to simply outsmart them.
I think everybody has missed the point here. These low-level losers in those customer service positions or whatever menial job they happen to be in; are there because they are incapable of doing better. Why even acknowledge their idiocy anymore than you need to?
Personally, instead of getting visibly angry at those people I just focus on the fact that I’M depositing money into MY account or I’M buying something that I want; while THEY are just observing me conduct MY BUSINESS. And they are in the position of serving me because of their lousy loser attitude. I’ve actually laughed out loud a lot of times in this situation, by the way.
Also, for the life of me, I can’t understand why it is that everytime I’m at the airport there is always some disgruntled traveler who chooses to get into an argument with a one of the security guards. It’s like the traveler doesn’t get the fact that arguing with that loser will cause you to miss your flight. But the security guard has no where to go, but back to their pathetic life outside the airport.
@Clnmike – LMBAO yeah they are heavy into you customer service spots and they see you coming a mile away. That’s why I dress down when I have to take care of business like that because I don’t want the obstacles.
@Keish – My Jersey buddy is back! Like Max said in the next response there is a lack of power outside their job so they choose to exercise the little they have when they see you.
@Max – Welcome! I tried to flatter their ego but sometimes I want things to get done so bad I’m in a bad mood from waiting. So I try to be quiet and responsive to what they need me to do so they don’t have anything to build on. Either way they are a obstacle but not a brick wall.
@Carl – You are harsh bruh! Man I don’t want to catch you on a bad day with a couple of drinks! Now I don’t agree that the people are incapable of doing more but maybe they have yet to realize the necessary drive to move on to bigger and better things. If you’re laughing out loud man I’m sure someone spit in your taco homie!
Usually most people who feel a sense of entitlement get pissed off the most. I used to laugh when a certain group likes to say I’m a Taxpayer, I’m a American or This is what’s wrong with so and so. They don’t get that no one cares and all this huss and fuss just makes the CwP delay your stuff even more because he thinks you are insane. Then they go get their supervisor and that adds more minutes onto a simple transaction.
Ironically, dressing down has gotten me hated on here! Man I went into the bank in typical shorts and t-shirt to deposit a check for $30K, not cash just deposit. Don’t you know that teller gave me the runaround for like 15mins? Until I called her manager over. Even though I had an account for years, that clown couldn’t get past it was the middle of the day and this everyday looking dude was depositing a check for as much as she makes in a year.
“…someone spit in your taco…” Hell nah, trust me; I’m the nicest person you ever want to meet if you’re handling my food. Those folks have actual power. But once I’ve gotten dessert and you messed up during my meal, you might catch hell though.
Well when I mean dress down I just mean I’m not in a suit. I might be casual like polo and dockers to give the impression that I am not that important. Man I got so many stories like your experience it ain’t funny so I usually know the Bank Manager and only go to one teller so they don’t give me the hold up he’s putting in bad checks alarm.
How do you know they didn’t pre-moisten you Filet O Fish homie! Either way I don’t say anything to anyone handling my food. If you ever seen the movie Road Trip then you’ll know why! No special orders or special service from me homie when it comes to food!
