Jen,
at the risk of turning this into another BelissimAA flame war - Idsant is just saying what a lot of people have been thinking when reading your posts from the past couple of weeks.

We all understand that you are in a tough spot right now. However, we also remember your earlier posts talking about the joys of unemployment. It's tough not to see your attitude as slightly 'pity me, pity me,' when one recalls that you've made several trips to Mexico (yes, I know with miles/points) and remodeled your house since you've been laid off. All while collecting unemployment. What's more, your indignation over the fact that recruiters and welfare workers aren't willing to accommodate your inability to get a phone does indeed translate as a sense of entitlement. How dare these people not go above and beyond their job description for you!

Now, I would never presume to tell you how to live your life, but I personally don't feel quite as bad about your situation, as I would have had you not been sitting at home watching cable TV and buying mattresses earlier this year.

And while you think that we can't understand you because we have jobs, if you read the posts carefully, you will note that most people here have been unemployed before. I, for one, have had retail, food-service and telemarketing jobs to avoid resorting to welfare.

The kind folks who posted on your thread were all trying to give advice in the true spirit of FT community. You can't really control what kind of feedback you get when you post here. You post a problem and people try to help you solve it. It's only natural, IMHO.
None of the posters were criticizing you until you started rejecting the advice that was being given.
