17-year-old Andrew, a spoiled rich kid accustomed to having his way, often mistreats others. After seeing him mock a flight attendant, his father decides it\u2019s time Andrew learns a lesson in respect.\u201cCan you move it faster?\u201d Andrew grumbled impatiently as he maneuvered past an older man being assisted by a young flight attendant. The man had trouble walking, but Andrew didn\u2019t think twice before mocking him and rushed to his seat.As the plane took off, Andrew, a frequent flyer since childhood, lifted the window shade, feeling bored and eager to return home after his first semester at boarding school. He eventually rose to retrieve his tablet but left his bag protruding from the overhead bin\u2026The flight attendant who\u2019d been assisting the older man earlier approached him. \u201cYour bag is popping out. You didn\u2019t close the overhead bin properly, sir.\u201d\n
\u201cThen do it instead of just standing there. It\u2019s not my job,\u201d Andrew retorted rudely.Despite the lad\u2019s rude words, the stewardess, maintaining her composure, closed the bin and walked away. Andrew, still in a foul mood, began eating some peanuts but spat them out in disgust. He rudely summoned the attendant.\u201cThese peanuts taste awful! Get me something better than these disgusting nuts!\u201d he demanded, throwing the bag at her.The attendant, visibly upset yet polite, responded, \u201cSir, please calm down and don\u2019t throw things at me.\u201d\u201dI\u2019ll do what I like!\u201d Andrew snapped. \u201cYou\u2019re here to serve me. Just go and get me something nice to eat, not some crappy junk like these peanuts. Now, go!\u201dThe passengers nearby looked on in disbelief at Andrew\u2019s behavior towards the patient stewardess.Andrew\u2019s immediate co-passenger, the older man whom he\u2019d mocked earlier, interrupted his rude behavior towards the flight attendant.\u201dYoung man, don\u2019t talk to her like that,\u201d the older man chided. \u201cJust because it\u2019s her job to serve us doesn\u2019t mean you can disrespect her.\n
She\u2019s here to do her work, and she\u2019s doing it well so far. It would be nice if you were kind to her and stopped shouting at her.\u201d\u201dWhy should I be kind to someone who can\u2019t do her job?\u201d Andrew retorted, snapping his fingers at the stewardess. \u201cHurry up with my snack! Don\u2019t just stand here and stare at me like a statue!\u201dThe attendant, teary-eyed but composed, walked away.\u201dYour parents must be so disappointed in you,\u201d the older man remarked, returning to his magazine.\u201dMind your own business, old man!\u201d Andrew replied dismissively. \u201cI paid for this flight; I deserve good service.\u201dWhen the attendant returned with pretzels, Andrew, unimpressed, slapped the tray away. \u201cI want something better!\u201d\u201dThat\u2019s all we have, sir,\u201d the attendant responded, tears in her eyes.Andrew\u2019s loud insults attracted the attention of another passenger, a woman who confronted him. \u201cHow dare you speak to her like that? Show some respect!\u201d\u201dIf she did her job well, I wouldn\u2019t be complaining!\u201d Andrew argued. \u201cShe\u2019s just a terrible servant!\u201dUnable to bear the insults any longer, the attendant burst into tears. Andrew\u2019s harsh words echoed through the cabin, shocking the passengers with his lack of empathy and respect.\u201dSomebody ought to give you a hiding, young man,\u201d the elderly passenger in the seat beside Andrew scowled at him. \u201cI\u2019ve been watching you all along, and this is not how you talk to people.\u201d\u201dI agree,\u201d another passenger, a man in an expensive suit, chimed in from behind Andrew. \u201cYou\u2019ve been so annoying and rude to her. She\u2019s doing her job well, but I guess you don\u2019t know how to be polite and respectful, boy.\u201dAndrew was pretty startled because that voice sounded so familiar. His forehead wrinkled in shock, and his mouth fell open when he turned around.\u201dDAD?? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE??\u201d he gasped.\u201dANDREW??\u201d the lad\u2019s dad, Steven, was equally startled, and a tingle rushed across his skin, sharp and cold, when he realized the young bully who was insulting the flight attendant was none other than his own son.\u201dI had to take this economy flight back to New York due to a last-minute delay in the booking.\n
I thought I heard your voice, but I was busy checking the company\u2019s annual report. I can\u2019t believe it would be you making a scene here!\u201d Steven fumed at Andrew, who stood frozen, his mouth clamped shut and eyes fixed on his father.\u201dBut\u2026dad\u2026\u201d Andrew stuttered.\u201dShut up and APOLOGIZE TO HER right now!\u201d added Steven. \u201cI\u2019ll teach you good manners first thing when we get home. Now say sorry to her!\u201dAndrew hunched his shoulders and mumbled an apology. \u201cSorry!\u201d was all he told the stewardess. He didn\u2019t see what the big deal was, and he didn\u2019t like it at all when his father told him off in front of everyone.After their flight, Andrew nervously followed his father, Steven, into their luxurious home, worried about the impending consequences of his behavior. Steven led him to his study and confronted him.\u201dYou made me so proud today,\u201d Steven began sarcastically. \u201cIs this why I sent you to boarding school? To become irresponsible and disrespectful?\u201dI\u2019m disappointed, Andrew. Your behavior must change,\u201d Steven said sternly, slamming the study door and turning to face his son.\u201dI don\u2019t see the big deal, Dad,\u201d Andrew argued.\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not like she\u2019s important or anything! She\u2019s paid to serve us, and she wasn\u2019t doing her job well!\u201d\u201dHow she does her job is not your problem, Andrew. Being wealthy doesn\u2019t give you the right to mistreat others,\u201d Steven retorted, crossing his arms. \u201cAnd son, you\u2019re nothing without my wealth and support! You need a reality check.\u201d\u201dWhat does that mean now?!\u201d\u201dYou\u2019re not returning to the boarding school. You\u2019ll attend public school and work for a living during the break.\u201d\u201dWork? Are you kidding?\u201d Andrew was shocked.\u201dNo, I\u2019m not kidding. You\u2019ll work as a janitor in my cleaning services company!\u201d\u201dA JANITOR? No way, Dad. I can\u2019t do that!\u201d Andrew protested.\u201dYou don\u2019t have a choice. I\u2019m cutting off all your privileges \u2013 bank cards, laptop, car, phone, and even your branded clothes. You\u2019ll wear simple clothes and earn your living,\u201d Steven declared firmly.\u201dI should\u2019ve spent time teaching you some manners instead of only making money after your mother died,\u201d Steven continued. \u201cIt\u2019s high time you learned how hard it is to survive in the world. It\u2019s now or never\u2026You must stop looking down upon others and learn to respect people.\u201d\u201dBut Dad, why a janitor? My friends will laugh at me,\u201d Andrew protested, distressed.\u201dThis is the consequence of your actions, Andrew. You need to learn respect,\u201d Steven replied firmly.\n
\u201cAnd if you quit the job, you\u2019ll lose all privileges!\u201dDefeated, Andrew began his job at the airport the next day, embarrassed about becoming a janitor for his dad\u2019s cleaning company. He struggled with basic tasks and wasn\u2019t familiar with even holding a mop.\u201dHow silly! That\u2019s not how you hold a mopstick,\u201d laughed his supervisor, an older woman.\u201dStop laughing! I\u2019m not used to this,\u201d Andrew snapped. \u201cAnd do your job, or I\u2019ll get you fired!\u201d\u201dYou won\u2019t,\u201d the woman retorted. \u201cI know your dad well. He wants me to straighten you out. Now, work! These floors won\u2019t mop themselves!\u201dAndrew sighed and began mopping clumsily and slowly.\u201dEven sloths are faster. Pick up the pace; there\u2019s lots to do!\u201d the woman instructed.Andrew grumbled and cursed while sweeping and mopping the lounge. His hip ached, and he was exhausted from lifting heavy buckets of water. Constantly monitored by the older woman, he couldn\u2019t even rest.As he disposed of litter in the food court, a passer-by hit him with an empty plastic bottle.\u201dHey, watch it, dude! How dare you throw that at me??\u201d Andrew yelled.\n
The guy, wearing headphones, ignored him and walked away.Andrew ran after him, demanding an explanation, but the man pushed him onto the floor, calling him a \u201cfilthy janitor.\u201dEmbarrassed and surrounded by laughing onlookers, Andrew was then scolded by another man for not putting up a caution sign on the wet floor. Apologizing, Andrew promised to rectify his mistake.Just as he thought he could finally rest, a woman with a young boy approached him. \u201cHey you, janitor, come here,\u201d she snapped, demanding Andrew clean up her grandson\u2019s vomit.\u201dWHAT??! Are you kidding me, lady? I cannot touch that\u2026Eeewww! No way!\u201d Andrew recoiled in disgust.\u201dIt\u2019s your job, and you must do it,\u201d she insisted.\u201dDon\u2019t tell me what my job is. I am not touching that thing! I feel like throwing up\u2026it stinks\u2026.\u201d Andrew protested.\u201dIf you don\u2019t clean it now, I\u2019ll report you and get you fired!\u201d she threatened.How Andrew wished he\u2019d never seen a day like this. He looked around for his assistant, but she was nowhere in sight.Andrew wiped his tears and donned gloves to clean the vomit. He mopped the floor, feeling disgusted and helpless.The rest of the day was no better. Whenever Andrew tried to rest, his assistant assigned him more tasks. \u201cGive me a break, lady\u2026I\u2019m tired,\u201d he begged. \u201cI\u2019m a human, not a robot. I need to breathe.\u201d\u201dWe are here to work, not rest,\u201d the assistant insisted.\n
\u201cClear the bins now\u2026Up! Up!\u201dExhausted, Andrew dragged the bins outside and hurriedly cleaned the lounge. Climbing stairs for escalator duty made him dizzy. Desperate for a break, he found a quiet spot and sat down, his head in his hands.Suddenly, a woman kicked him in the back. \u201cGet out of the way, you lazy fool,\u201d she sneered. \u201cI\u2019m going to report you for sleeping on the job.\u201d\u201dI was not sleeping,\u201d Andrew retorted.\u201dI\u2019ll make sure you get fired. How dare you back answer me?\u201d she stormed off.Tears gushed into Andrew\u2019s eyes when he understood this was what his father had tried to teach him. He now understood how much it hurt to be mistreated by people who thought they were better than him.Andrew cried into his palms and looked up at the crowd when a woman\u2019s silhouette drew his attention. He rose and immediately ran after her when he recognized her.\u201dHey there, wait a minute,\u201d he shouted, tapping the woman\u2019s arm.She turned around and was stunned as he panted and puffed, holding his knees, looking up at the flight attendant he\u2019d mocked on the plane the previous day.\u201dHey!\u201d he said.\u201dYou? Oh god, not you again! What are you doing here in a cleaner\u2019s uniform? You work here?\u201d Her hand went up to her mouth in shock.\u201dI AM SORRY FOR MOCKING YOU YESTERDAY!\u201d said Andrew.\n
\u201cI treated you so badly. I insulted you. But you still served me with a smile. I\u2019m so ashamed of myself, and I promise I\u2019ll not be rude to anybody again. Please forgive me, alright?\u201dThe stewardess was stunned by the boy\u2019s words and his sudden change of heart.\u201dI\u2019m glad you\u2019ve realized your mistake,\u201d she said, smiling. \u201cBut I still don\u2019t understand what you\u2019re doing here.\u201dAndrew refused to reveal anything and smiled, disappearing from the flight attendant\u2019s sight to finish the day\u2019s pending work.Tell us what you think about this story, and share it with your friends.
