Top Signs Someone Has Zero Work Experience
We all know at least one person who's never worked a day in their life.
Even if they've never admitted this outright, it's pretty obvious once you get to know them – and it looks like I'm not the only one who thinks this. In one Reddit thread, people shared the telltale signs of someone who's never had a job, and it's wayyy too accurate.
I've rounded up the 18 best responses from the thread, below:
"They think you can drop work at any time to go on an adventure with them. Like, no dude, I need a heads up at LEAST two weeks in advance if you want me to do something with you during my work hours. And that's with me having a fairly lenient schedule. Some people need longer."
"They think that they can start in a leadership position at any time."
"They think a banana costs $10, which to them is cheap."

"They're quick to say that someone should be fired. They don't understand that there may be extenuating circumstances or an actual reason something is being done a certain way."
"I fell to my knees crying at age 5 because my parents were divorcing. I fell to my knees crying when I was deployed and had to console an Afghan mother after her son was killed by a taliban rocket."
"They think 'just quit' is realistic advice for every job problem. Real workers know rent doesn't care about your feelings."
"They have never gone grocery shopping, paid bills themselves, driven themselves, etc.... Maybe Daddy's money would let them become president."

"They think lower classes are just lazy."
"They don't take accountability for their actions or situation. Everything is everyone else's fault."
"They are chronically really late to everything. Not just regularly 10-15 minutes late, but you can count on them to be regularly an hour or two late."
"They don't have an alarm clock."

"They act shocked when you're tired after an 8-hour shift, treat weekends like a myth, and think 'just ask for a raise' is realistic advice."
"They have unrealistic expectations: they think they're above certain jobs or that success should come quickly and easily."
"They have a sense of entitlement and superiority. They refer to anyone who is in any type of service job or healthcare workers as 'the help.' They don't have much exposure to adversity, and think naively about the world."
"Based on the customer I've been doing landscaping for, they're indecisive. Nothing screams 'daddy's money' like having a $200,000 landscaping job done before deciding it didn't look right and having it redone. Honest wealth measures twice and cuts once."

"Everything is taken for granted. The car is acting weird? Just buy a new one. The appliance bill is high? Just get your house remodeled with more insulation and such."
"They consistently can't get along with other people."
"They don't understand the difference between having good choices and making good choices. Like, they're born on 3rd base and think they hit a home run based solely on their own efforts."
Do you have any observations that belong on this list? Let me know in the comments!
