I don't think many younger people will argue this, because it seems to be this way more lately. Basically everyone in our generation that went to the service all failed out of college and/or could not hold a job. Obviously everyone isn't like this, but definitely more than ever before.
Either way, my one cousin is a worthless piece of shit. She's 40 or so, probably hasn't held a job in about 10 years now, and any time she does have one she quits within months because they won't pay her to be on disability from day one (she claims her back, this, that, the other thing, etc.) She may have issues but it's nothing that would prevent a normal person from working.
Had a kid with a guy, of course. He moved to Illinois, so the kid is now her excuse to do nothing, have to stay home with him. Kid is in school now, so she has all day to work, but nooooo. Even worse, she will go to the school and volunteer in the lunchroom to pass out popcorn on some days (in the car and with the gas that my aunt bought), but refuses to register as a substitute cafeteria worker... we all figure because income would take away from her welfare.
She lives with my aunt, has no intentions of leaving, talks about money like it's "theirs", and my aunt of course buys her cigarettes. My uncle/her dad died 3 years ago, so the second income in the house (so long as she lives there) is sort of necessary.
I avoid her like the plague. I get pissed off just looking at her.
