You are so right, a person could be having a really bad day and just doesn't have it in them to be all pleasant. No reason to be nasty back. Smile and be nice (it is hard sometimes) - it may just be what is needed.<br />I hear people at stores get nasty with the workers. It is not their fault that prices are up, or supplies are low. They just work there. People just don't think.<br />I think people like all of us see "realistic" as just the opposite.<br />I don't want to be thought of as a nasty person either.Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-82976680047291172062022-12-29T20:52:17.343-05:002022-12-29T20:52:17.343-05:00I once read that when you die, no one will remembe...I once read that when you die, no one will remember what car you drove or where you live, but they will remember how you treated them.

One of them once said to me "someone was rude to me at the grocery store today and I was rude right back"!! Wow just wow. I didn't say a thing because I knew from past conversations when I'd gently suggest maybe the other person was having a hard day & could use some understanding I'd be criticizing for not understanding how people are-- they need to be corrected and put in their place!<br /><br />I remember years ago waiting in line at McDonald's and the woman in front of me was giving the poor 16 year old cashier a hard time about her coffee. All I could think of was that's someone's son loved by his family --he doesn't deserve that. I made sure I was the nicest, sweetest customer he had! Lol<br /><br />There are people who think being "realistic" about life means there's no room for kindness. I guess I don't want to be that kind of person. <br />~margaret<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-6557580461789806762022-12-29T18:11:54.430-05:002022-12-29T18:11:54.430-05:00Not sure why that showed as anonymous - that was m...Not sure why that showed as anonymous - that was me CherylCheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-70202674487989647592022-12-29T18:10:19.265-05:002022-12-29T18:10:19.265-05:00It sure could.

The plumber was supposed to come back on Monday with his heavy duty pipe cleaner-outer thingie. Didn't show. She called the office and the landlord came out today and he knew right where to flush it out and Bob's your uncle, problem solved.
