Several years ago I was working at a spa and a new client was put on my roster. I did the pre interview and worked on the areas she requested I focus on. But when she went to the front desk, she told them I didn’t do anything right. The receptionist rescheduled her with another therapist. Afterward she said she didn’t care for that person’s massage. They rescheduled her for a third appointment but that therapist was not to her liking either. By that time my boss was exhausted by this woman and told her we couldn’t work with her anymore. There was no pleasing her.

Some people, there is no pleasing. They could be:

Parents

Children

Step children

A supervisor or boss

Coworkers

Neighbors

Your significant other

A client/customer

Relatives

An Ex

Friends

People who are related to or associated with someone in your life or circle.

And the list goes on.

Regardless of who it is, how they are linked to you, and no matter how hard you try or what you do, there are some people you won’t make happy and they will find fault with whatever you do. Rather than go into why, realize It is not worth stressing yourself out or bending over backwards to please someone who has decided to be unhappy.
