Not a job.
I have broken down or begged for things at times.
As a kid I can remember one time really wanting something and getting upset, and my parents gave in and gave me the money to buy what wanted. I went to try it on and in the end didn’t buy it because I felt so bad.
I have begged someone to stop treating me badly.
I have been at my wit’s end more than once wanting someone to just let me have my way without giving me a hard time or making me feel like shit.
One thing that comes to mind that wasn’t groveling, but rather feeling desperate and standing my ground, was pushing back at doctors’ offices (yes more than once) to get the paperwork I needed or something similar.
I once told a receptionist at a doctor’s office I wasn’t moving till I got what I wanted and she would have to call security to haul me away or get me the referral I need. I was upset but firm. They hadn’t sent the referral to the doctor that they were supposed to, and the specialist went ahead and saw me at the appointment that morning. I just wasn’t going to let him not get paid after he was so nice to me. Actually, the receptionist of the specialist wasn’t going to let me be seen because she didn’t receive a referral. I was upset and telling her I would pay whatever it is, and she was still giving me a hard time. The doctor came out of his office and told his receptionist to stop. He didn’t charge me when I was there.
I have been traumatized by the health care system and workers more than anything else in my life.
