Five Irritating Things
Oct. 13th, 2011 08:55 pmIrritating day. Five things that bugged me or gave me a tension head-ache in the kill me now department or can we just kill everyone else and move to a deserted island in the middle of the Pacific?
1. Do not talk to or treat people as if you think they are in the third grade and/or kindergarten - it comes across as patronizing.
2. While being detail-oriented is wonderful, being nit-picky is just plain irritating.
3. Why is it that people whine and rant more than complement or flatter? How hard is it to tell someone they did a great job or look great today? Kindness goes a long way, as does flattery.
4.You can't please everyone, it is a fact of life. Someone will always complain about something you did or did not do the way they would or the way they want you to do it. OR about something that irritated them. Best to ignore and tolerantly nod your head, catering to them is a losing battle. Except of course in those rare instances in which they have a legitimate complaint (which isn't always that easy to determine.) or where you have no choice unless you want to be unemployed and homeless.
( this is the most ironic cut tag I've ever done. )
5. Generalizing is stupid. Making assumptions based on generalizations is asinine. Yet we all do it. Ugh. I'm half convinced that will be humanity's epitaph or mine.
