Kill Them with Kindness

Today's topic is from a friend.  It's about inconsiderate people.  I'm a generally nice person.  A "Silver lining" person if you will, but inconsiderate people just burn my biscuits! 

You know the kind of people I'm talking about.. the ones that see you only have like 3 things in your grocery cart and a fussy kid, but instead of letting you go first as you arrive at the same time to check out, they speed up those last few steps to jump in front of you...  Here's a way to get back at them: Take away the toy your kid is playing with.  That will teach them when they see what they have to listen to while checking out their heaping cart of groceries!

Here's another example.  The inconsiderate co-worker... These are the people who you help out when they need it but when you need something from them they're "too busy".  Here's an example: They work in a customer based position and you have a desk position that takes care of the paperwork end.  So when they're busy out on the floor, you get up and go help them catch up on all their work.  Then when you go back to work they don't even have the decency to bring you the item they are supposed to get to you as a part of their job!  Like seriously, you can't walk the 8 feet over to me to bring me the paper you are supposed to?  It's  a little harder to get back at these types... some sort of prank is usually in order here.

Then there's the inconsiderate neighbor...  These are the neighbors that are constantly doing something that gets on your nerves.  This could be something as silly as parking right at the edge of your driveway everyday, to having a dog that barks all day, to arguing so often and so loud that you can hear them with your windows closed.  It's hard to get back at these people a lot of the time because you don't want to disrupt the chemistry of the neighborhood, but I do have something for dealing with the neighbors that fight... For example, lets just say they are always fighting about forgetting to do the garbage.  When you see the neighbor in passing and you exchange your "Hi's" and waves, as you're about to walk in the house just finish up your small talk with "Alrighty, I'll talk to you later.  Oh, and don't forget it's garbage night."  Just enough of a comment to catch them off guard.  

There's so many other types of inconsiderate people to get into on here, but my best advise is to kill them with kindness... It really ticks them off!  ;)

Hope you all have a great night!!
