    This....  

    Last week we had a party of 4 come on board.  One of the guys had his earbuds on.  The kicker.. He just got engaged like an hour before the trip.  Really?   






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    actually, I do this all the time. it's so people will leave me alone--especially salespeople at the mall. I'm usually not listening to music, I just want to be able to run my errands in peace without every other person coming up to me, "do you need help with anything?" do I look like I need help with something?

    [QUOTE]I judge cashiers who don't understand how to make change.

    This happened at our local McDonald's.  My bill was $8.07, I gave her $10.07 and she could not figure out to give me back $2.00.  What irks me about this is the fact that if she would have waited to hit the button on the register THEN entered $10.07, the damn thing would have told her $2.00!!!  Idiot.

    I was taking the bus home from work yesterday and was full of judgement:

    1. I judge the guy on the motorcycle whose helmet was attached to the back of the bike, as opposed to on his head where it should have been.

    2. I judge the guy with the bicycle who took the bus for all of two stops just to avoid riding up a hill.

    [QUOTE]I don't want to judge this but... I am judging my new FIL for not contributing a single penny to the wedding AND not getting us a gift or even a card.  Nothing at all.  And his wife is scowling in every. single. wedding picture.  Not quite sure why they even bothered to show up.
    Posted by kikibaby[/QUOTE]

    This is going to be me.  My FFIL is complaining about the expense just to come to the wedding and has already told FH he is not getting us a gift.  That is fine.  FFIL's wife got all bent out of joint that we payed for part of my FSIL's family's airfare to fly to the wedding, because they need help with the traveling expense too.  FFIL's wife got so bent out of joint that she started saying she wasn't coming to the wedding and was going to stay home with her kids, who are FH's half sister and brother. 

    All this while, FFIL is a retired army officer and works full time.  They go to Hawaii at least twice a year and she sends money to her family every month.  FFIL's wife has no respect for his three adult children, who aren't her's.  

    At least they live on the other side of the country and I never have to see her.

    True story-there was this girl I worked with who would go to the overly taxed bartender to make her change for her because she didn't "understand that coin stuff."  Um, did you go to third grade?

    On the barely 21 sighers-when in college I worked at a where all the college football players frequented.  The under 21ers always tried the sigh and would hand over an ID saying they were 20.  THEN get all pissy and "do you know who I am" when I wouldn't serve them.  Um, I don't care who you are and neither will the cops when they fine me and take away my liquor license leaving me jobless.

    This, oh god, this. I live in a town with a huuuuuuge college football following and the freshmen and sophomore players just could not understand that as much as I love football and adore the team, I don't love it more than having a job that allows me to work three days a week and support myself. I knew who they were and it didn't matter to me.

    But then again, I don't think giving back change is anything but counting by 1s, 5s, 10s, and 25s. We all learn how to do this in elementary school. It is not diffEq at all.
    My mother always taught me that you don't have to know how to subtract. Just take the total bill and keep adding to it until you get the amount they gave you. So if someone Gives you $5.50 for a 3.45 tab, you give them a nickel to make 3.50, and then 2 dollars to make 5.50.

    Oh, and I used to work at Sonic. I had to teach that to several coworkers, so it doesn't surprise me..

    Being a cashier means you have to count money and make change.  That is your job, so I thinks it's fair to judge someone who can't make change when that is their job.'

    If you are not a cashier then I'm less likely to judge you (although I reserve the right if you ask me what 20% of the check is so you can figure out my tip would be - yes I actually have people ask me that question)






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    Posted by cac847[/QUOTE]

    I get this. But, why take a job as a cashier then? I judge people who are bad at their job and then expect others to wait for them.

    I also judge my state for having a "teens stop texting while driving week" (I forget the exact wording). That is ridiculously ageist. Plenty of people of all ages text while driving and it all needs to end.

    Oh, and on the same token, I judge people who feed their toddlers in the back seat while driving. Yes I can see you turning around every thirty seconds and I can see you swerving and breaking late too.
  • I didn't assume you were a rude person.  I took what you said "I walk around with earbuds in so nobody will bug me" and inferred that this is a rude behavior.  Which is what I said.  "This is rude" not "you are rude".
