A list of some more people that can make your day unpleasant.
- The guy who insists you address him as Dr. You know how it goes. You say, “Hi Mr. Smith.” Then he interrupts you and says something like. “I’m sorry, but it’s actually Dr. Smith. I worked very hard for that title.” Look, that’s fantastic, and I’m happy that you’re proud of yourself. I worked hard to be able to buy my house, but I don’t make you address me as “Marc, owner of the gray house on Maple St.”
- People who park in the middle of nowhere in the parking lot, just so their car won’t get dinged. They often are found in the company of the type of people who put traffic cones in their driveway entrance to ward off u-turners. Give them the wide berth they are looking for – it’s better for everyone.
- People who don’t like the original Star Wars.
- Any scholar that says something like, “Well, you wouldn’t understand” or uses a term like “the masses.” These are code words. What they really mean is “My intellect is far superior to yours, you poor, poor simpleton.” The best response to this is, “Oh, I understand perfectly.” Then wink and walk away.
- People who like clowns. Seriously. They could be dangerous.
- People who don’t tip well. Going out to dinner with bad tippers can be embarrassing or just plain expensive. You either end up looking like a cheapskate, or you end up tossing in extra cash to make up the difference. If for some reason, I end up going out with someone who I already know is a cheapskate, I have a plan. As soon as the waiter comes with our food, I am going to lean over and spit right in his/hers. Then I will turn to the waiter and say, “He’s a really bad tipper. You were probably going to do that to our dessert later and I didn’t want you to get in trouble. Also, I changed my mind, I think I will have the peach ice tea.”
- People who have no sense of humor about themselves. Unless you enjoy teasing them and looking at the icy stare you get in return. That can be fun for a while. But seriously, if you do something embarrassing it is your civic duty to laugh first so that others can follow.
Everyone have a great Holiday weekend.
