One of the lists
December 21, 2006 - 4:54 p.m.
It's that time of the year when I tend to recycle old words, so if you've read some of the next couple of entries before, sorry about that.
No, wait... no, I'm not.
This one came out of a conversation with Penny some years ago (January 14, 2004, exactly).
The Rudeness List
Times when you can pretty much count on me to be rude:
- When people waste my time, effort or money, or show strong indications that they are about to.
- When people don't do their jobs.
- When people do their jobs indifferently and badly.
- When people are bureaucratic and myopic.
- When people force their way into my consciousness or my business.
- When people interrupt me with an unrelated topic and blow my collection of thought.
- When people force me to interact with them unnecessarily in order to obtain what I need or want.
- When I'm being nagged.
- When people make assumptions into which I am expected to buy.
- When people do something dangerous.
- When people don't think or use common sense when I know or have reason to expect that they can.
- When people damage something into which I've invested time and effort.
- When I know someone can do better and I feel like there's no other motivation that will work.
When I absolutely am never rude:
- When I know someone is in pain
- When I know I'm asking for something beyond my own entitlement (i.e., special considerations, breaks, etc.)
