I absolutely agree.
And the ironic part is that a lot of us don't work "hard"! It always, always amazes me to hear people talk about "working their asses off". 99% of people saying that are such lazy employees that it's a wonder they even have a job.
Don't get me wrong, I realize that some people do, in fact, work very hard: physically (like coal miners, construction workers, etc.) or mentally (like air traffic controllers, doctors, social workers, etc.)
But to go into Home Depot and hear the guy behind the paint counter talking to another employee about how he's tired of "working his butt off all day", is really laughable -- it must be exhausting to mix up those paint colors and then cash the person out.
