I am 19 years old in the process of learning and I have for a month been working at a car wash. Of course the pay was low but it was my first job. For the longest time I have I been getting into verbal confrontations with my coworkers and manager because of I honestly couldn't stop messing up at work. I really tried to get things done and out of hair, but if Improved one day I'll vastly take a giant leap backwards the next day.

The problems start going away over time but this and last week it started happening again. And I got frustrated at everything and everyone because I couldn't get things through were right in front of me to get. I couldn't stand my coworkers or manager not respecting me. If I did something wrong and they'll tell me in a cool way...no biggie I'll get it right now. But when they start making jokes about it or status jockeying everything I do...(like telling me they'll dry the car themselves or wash the wheels themselves) it started irking me. One of most frustrating things for me is knowing the steps to improve and still falling flat.

I finally decided to leave today. I know I couldn have improved and got better but I still wouldn't have the respect of my coworkers. Which I try so hard to get now since I don't have respect anywhere else. I want a life for once where I'm not screwing everything up

Shake&Bake,

Some place are just toxic. and you can do your best but sometimes things just really suck, and this is something you can do nothing about. And car wash is a tedious job. So as a "man", they expect you to get things done. You might need longer time but time is an issue at car wash. There is so many cars and there is so little car washers. Similar to so little rich people, so many poor people.

there is always resentment. and you can't always mitigate enough. :)
