i can't stand people who go around doing police call on other people. like for example, i understand if you see someone doing something that is about to for sure get them in trouble. warning someone is not a bad thing. but, if you take the attitude on that you are going to make it your business to police other people and tell them what to do, like you are the ones to make the rules...that rubes me the wrong way. i also hate snitches. if you see me doing something wrong and you are warning me out of my ignorance, then cool, i appreciate that. if your are just being bossy, it's different but don't snitch. whatever you do. i can't stand that. how do you feel about snitches and people policing others. this society has become nothing but wanna be police and snitches.

I don't like either of both. People like to go around doing police call or snitch on other people actually get a kick out of their doing, they get plenty of joy seeing that person get into trouble with the Law and getting arrested by cop; or even question by them. You will never stop seeing these snitches and who like policing other disappear from our society, they are way too many living around us. True, they are a real pain in my a*s. These dog don't have much of a life themselves and probably have plenty of free time in their hand.

Snitches are terrible. Unless what you're doing is really really bad. I have someone at my company who is a "snitch" and we just have to be careful with what we do and say around this person. If I saw someone stealing or doing something REALLY bad like that, I would definitely "snitch" because it's just not right to do that. But if I saw someone on Facebook when they might have should've been doing their work, I wouldn't tell anyone... There's a difference in doing what's right and being a snitch, in my world anyway.

okay. see, that's what i wouldn't do. if i saw someone steeling, that's none of my business. i know they are doing something wrong, but i am not getting involved. it's between them, THE UNIVERSE, and the law. no one needs my help to do that job. that's what i call snitching. thanks for your post anyway. i respect your point of view.

I work in a store and so I can't ignore it when I see someone stealing. If it is obvious enough that I should see it then I would be risking my job were I to just ignore it. we have cameras and I have a monitor right by the register that I'm supposed to glance at and pay attention to. I will say that I have caught people stealing and I usually handle it on my own without having to call anyone. The situations where I've had to bring it to my bosses attention are very very few and never without plenty of chances and warnings and I will say that they have all been adults. My boss has the same mindset as I do and he also does not immediatly call the cops but does give them the opportunity to pay for what they stole and just lets them know he is watching and next time he sees it the police will be called. It usually doesn't get that far. I can count on one hand the number of times in 20 years that that has happened. When it is little kids, it all depends on the situation and the kids. I usually just handle it and it ends once they get caught by me and I talk to them. A few times I've called the parents and let them deal with it.

I also do not like people who acts like they know everything. Giving advices and warnings is one thing, but forcing them to do something that you think is right is another. Everybody has the right to do what he or she wants, we just have to respect each other.

exactly, you can't just of forcing your morals on other people. that's another thing i can't stand is self righteousness. that same person will be lecturing you, then going off to do something they know they shouldn't be doing either.
