Pampered Boy Ridicules Flight Attendant Unaware That His Wealthy Father Is Observing

Seventeen-year-old Andrew is used to getting what he wants and treating people badly when he doesn’t get it, but his father decides it’s time Andrew learned a lesson about respect when he mistreats a flight attendant.

“Do you think he’ll be okay?”

Steven had been watching his seventeen-year-old son walk toward the airport boarding gate, but now he looked down at his wife.

“Of course Andrew will be okay,” he replied.

“I hope this new school can help him learn some humility.”

“But what if they treat him badly in the dorms?” Steven’s wife looked up at him. “He’s never been to boarding school before.”

“That’s the point.” Steven clenched his jaw. “Andrew has become spoiled and he needs to learn some tough lessons about life.”

Months later, Andrew was flying home for the holidays after his first semester of boarding school. He’d hated every minute of his time there and was eager to return to his high-powered computer and the luxury car he got for his sixteenth birthday.

“Hey, you.” Andrew waved to the flight attendant, a redhead woman with freckles.

“How can I help you, sir?” The flight attendant smiled at him.

“You can get me something better to snack on than these peanuts.” Andrew threw the bag of peanuts at her.

The flight attendant’s smile turned into a frown. “Sir, please don’t throw things at me.”

“I’ll do what I like,” Andrew replied. “You’re here to serve me, so stop complaining and do your job.”

“Don’t talk to her like that.” The older man in the seat beside Andrew turned to look at him.

“Just because it’s her job to serve us doesn’t mean you can disrespect her.”

Andrew rolled his eyes and snapped his fingers at the flight attendant. “I’m still waiting for my snack.”

The flight attendant walked away with her eyes downcast. The older man in the next seat shook his head.

“Your parents must be so disappointed in you,” the elderly man muttered.

“Nobody asked you, old man.” Andrew began scrolling through the movie options.

After a few minutes, the flight attendant returned with a pretzel.

“Here you go, sir,” she said and held out the pretzel to him. “If there’s anything else —”

Andrew sneered and slapped the pretzel out of her hand. “I don’t want a pretzel!”

The flight attendant recoiled, tears forming in her eyes. “Peanuts and pretzels are the only snacks we serve on this flight.”

“That’s pathetic, just like you.” Andrew leaned forward in his seat. “Go and fetch me a proper snack, now!”

“How dare you talk to her like that?” A woman rose from her seat across the aisle and put a hand on the flight attendant’s arm.

“If she did her job then I wouldn’t have to.” Andrew pointed at the flight attendant.

“She’s a servant, and a bad one too.”

The flight attendant burst into tears. The woman passenger tried to comfort her.

“Somebody ought to give you a hiding, young man.” The elderly passenger in the seat next to Andrew scowled at him.

“I agree.” Somebody placed a hand on his shoulder.

At that moment, Andrew understood what his father had been trying to teach him.
Andrew recognized that voice. He turned and stared in surprise when he saw his dad behind him. His face was red with anger.

“Dad, what are you doing here?” Andrew asked.

“Flying home from a business trip,” Steven replied. “I hoped we might meet on the plane, but I never imagined it would be like this. Apologize to this young lady and the other passengers immediately.”

Andrew hunched his shoulders and mumbled an apology. He didn’t see what the big deal was, but he knew better than to disobey his father when he was so angry.

When Andrew and his father got home, Steven marched him straight to his office on the second floor of the luxurious house.

“This comes to an end right now.”

Steven shut the door and turned to point at Andrew. “Your behavior is disgusting. I hoped that you might learn manners in boarding school, but it seems I was wrong.”

“Why are you making such a big deal out of this?” Andrew threw out his arms. “She’s just a flight attendant. It’s not like she’s important.”

“And that’s your problem, Andrew. You think you’re better than others because you were born into a wealthy family, and that you can treat others badly because of that.” Steven crossed his arms. “That’s going to change.”

“What does that mean?”

“You won’t be going back to that school. You’ll finish your education at a public school, and you’re going to spend your holiday working.”

“Working?” Andrew straightened up. “Are you giving me a job at your company?”

Steven smiled. “You could say that. I’m going to give you a job in my cleaning company, as a janitor.”

Andrew was horrified.

“I won’t do it!”

“You will because I’m also cutting off all your privileges. I’m taking your bank cards, your computer, your car, and your cell phone. I’m even taking your branded clothes.” Steven put his hands on his hips. “You’re going to find out what it means to respect people.”

Andrew had no choice. His father took his possessions from him, and he started his job as an airport janitor the next day.

Andrew knew nothing about cleaning. The older woman he was assigned to work with laughed at him for not knowing how to sweep or mop. He shouted at her for laughing at him and threatened to get her fired.

“No, you won’t,” she replied, shaking her finger at him. “Your father warned me about you, now get to work. These floors don’t clean themselves.”

Andrew sighed and started sweeping. He was clumsy, and his supervisor teased him about it. Andrew got angry, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He was cleaning the trash cans when something hit him. He turned and saw that somebody had thrown an empty takeaway carton at him.

“Hey!” Andrew shouted at the man who’d thrown the carton. “How dare you throw that at me.”

The man ignored Andrew, so he ran after him and grabbed his arm.

“I’m talking to you,” Andrew said.

The man shook Andrew off so hard that he fell to the ground. “Get your filthy hands off me, you dirty janitor.”

Andrew watched the man walk away in shock. Was this how it felt to be treated like you didn’t matter? Andrew didn’t like it. He looked around just as somebody kicked him.

“Get out of the way, you lazy bum.” The woman who’d kicked him sneered at him.

“I’m going to report you for sleeping on the job.”

At that moment, Andrew understood what his father had been trying to teach him. He knew now how much it hurt to be mistreated by people who thought they were better than you.

A flash of red caught his eye, and Andrew looked up. He recognized the flight attendant he’d been rude to and hurried across to her.

“I’m so sorry,” he said when he reached her. “I treated you so badly.”

The woman was surprised to see him, but she smiled when he apologized.

“I’m glad you’ve learned the error of your ways,” she said.

What can we learn from this story?

Sometimes children need to learn a lesson the hard way. It can be difficult for children to understand the true depth of important life lessons when they’ve never experienced that situation.

Their Hearts Were Broken When They Heard The Loud Cries Coming From The Trash

Their Hearts Were Broken When They Heard The Loud Cries Coming From The Trash

The scale of human cruelty cannot surprise us anymore. Every day, we witness sad stories caused by the heartless actions of some people.

Most of them are written according to a real-life scenario in which these helpless creatures are ready to give all their love, but those same people reciprocate in the worst possible way.

The beginning of today’s story is the best testimony to that. Several Good Samaritans, although used to various heartbreaking situations, could not even imagine what they would experience when they were passing by a container.

At one point, these good people heard loud cries coming from the trash, and when they realized what it was, their hearts were completely broken.

Life From The Bottom

When these people opened the bag from which loud cries were coming, they saw a tiny, one-week-old puppy inside. He was so young that he had not even opened his eyes yet and was trembling out of cold and fear.

Despite the initial shock from this heartbreaking sight, they managed to pull themselves together quickly. They put the puppy in a warm blanket and immediately brought him home.

When they finally came to their house, these people prepared a temporary resting place for the puppy and bought him high-quality milk. Because he was very hungry due to the lack of real mother’s milk, the puppy drank an entire bottle within 10 minutes.

As soon as he satisfied his hunger, they let him rest, and he fell asleep almost immediately. They enjoyed watching him resting as he looked like an angel in that warm, cozy bed.

After a week of sleeping and feeding on milk, the puppy finally opened his eyes and began to explore the world around him. His look was full of hope, and this motivated them to do everything to help him have the happiest puppyhood.

These good people provided him with the best milk they could find so that he could have all the needed nutrition in this crucial period of his life. They also gave him a lot of space in the house so that he was able to explore the surroundings and satisfy his curiosity.

While exploring, he met family cats and quickly fell in love with them. They were a bit suspicious at first, but they soon accepted his company, and from then on, a beautiful friendship was born.

Every day, this puppy looked better and was happier, and when he finally started walking after a month, nothing could stand in his way anymore.

Although they knew he still had a long way to go, his rescuers were now sure he had a bright future ahead of him.

Growing Up Quickly

Day by day, the sweet little furball was growing bigger and more beautiful. After a month, he was ready to transition from the milk to soft food. He wasn’t a picky eater, so they had no problem choosing the right ingredients.

Aside from preparing him the best-quality food full of nutrition, they also recognized his playful personality, so they started buying him toys to play with. He was over the moon when they brought him his very first toy, and that filled their soul.

After 51 days of the happiest puppyhood, he grew up and completely changed. His body weight increased quite a bit, and his fur was finally long and smooth. He became a real little beauty.

Although the puppy was now very comfortable and happy, they continued to take the best care of him and provide him with everything he needed.

As he was more grown up now, he also required larger clothes. They didn’t spare money and bought him the most comfortable clothes they could find. Out of all the family members, the puppy was the best dressed, and even the cats didn’t have better clothing than him.

From the best toys to the most comfortable T-shirts, the puppy enjoyed all possible benefits in a warm home. However, his biggest blessing was the fact that he was the most loved member of the family.

Yes, you heard that right – this puppy became a full-fledged member of the family as his saviors could no longer imagine life without him. At that moment, he was the most blessed dog in the world.

From The Cries To The Smiles

Soon after his new parents decided to adopt him, they brought him to the vet so that he could get the necessary vaccines, and they told the doctor to make a detailed examination. To their delight, the doctor confirmed that the puppy’s health condition was perfect.

After this happy news, his new life could finally begin. His appearance completely changed, as he wasn’t a puppy anymore but a big, handsome dog who never stopped radiating positive energy.

Most of all, he liked to go for long walks with his parents and enjoy the sun, but he also favored big parks where he met and played with other canines. He carried a broad smile on his face that never stopped delighting all those people who would see him.

This puppy became a walking smiley face that everyone loved to see and greet. However, they didn’t know that just a few months earlier, he cried in a place where no one wanted to look at him.

That’s what makes this story even more special and tells us that there is always a new opportunity to laugh, even when it seems like our whole world has collapsed.

This puppy is a living testimony to that.
