Why whiny people bug me

I figured it out at work the other day. I very strongly want to help patients and customers, and that compassion is what whiny and manipulative people are exploiting. I don't want to be jaded, and I don't want to shy away from letting compassion guide my interaction with people. I don't like it when they take something good about me and use it for their own benefit. Let me save my greatest efforts for people truly in need!

So demanding and entitled people get on your nerves too?

Boy can I sympathize! My compassion melts away with every non-emergent whiny patient who comes to the ER on a busy night. I thought I had it at one time, but it now only shows up for the truly sick/injured who don't act obnoxious. Sadly, the health profession will teach us how pitiful the human race is :-(
