Too many people blame problems on ADD when they don't have it.

We had this sales rep who had "ADD" and took Adderal. He was selling a customer some service, and then says "can you excuse me? I've got to go get your phone in the back." supposidely, he got the phone and "forgot" what he was doing.

this 26 year old fucking retard gets on the break room computer and gets on AIM. The woman is outraged, and is wondering where the guy is.. so someone goes and sees him in the back on the computer doing un-Cingular-related work.

The woman left before we could come back, so we fired him on the spot.. his excuse:

"DUDE MA BAD... I just needed to check my e-mail and stuff." for 15 minutes? please...
 
wow what a fuckin idiot. but yeah, i'm gonna say that I believe that people have ADD and ADHD, it exists and I respect that. But what I absolutely refuse to respect is what magnolia(props to you, u described my point) was talking about how people hide behind this mask of ADD. If an employee of mine fucked up like that and blamed it on ADD id tell him "You're fired unless you can produce some sort of medical recognition that you actually have Attention Deficit Disorder/Hyperactive."

I think blaming your lazy ass on ADD or ADHD is like using others' trust in you to your advantage and getting what you want. I'm sure one of these fakers would be pissed if they had the same stunt pulled on them.

On the other hand, Descent I accept the fact(or at least so it appears) that you have ADHD, I'm not hear to tell ur your full of it. Same with anyone else who might have added that they have it(magnolia, bklycannonball i think, etc.). I just think that people who say they have it should have some sort of proof and not play upon people's basic trust.
