As I continue to learn from the antics of people around me I am realizing that there are a couple of words I need to remove from my vocabulary: Always and never. If I can’t remove them I need to be careful how I use them.
This insight was gained by a recent “discussion” in which I was accused of always doing one disgusting thing and never doing another. It reminds me of one of my favorite bits of bathroom humor. How many men does it take to put down a toilet seat? We don’t know because it has never been done. I think it is funny but I also know that it didn’t take two many experiences of sitting down on the cold reality of the toilet rim to get me into the proper habit.
I won’t bother sharing all of the things I “never” do or the many that I “always” complete. I am sure that your list would overlap quite a bit with mine.

LOL - Gee, and I thought only women sat without looking! (Okay, I've done it a time or two myself.)
ReplyDeleteYou would think that even they would learn.

Tried to never use never. Never succeeded, always failed.
ReplyDeleteI see what you are doing.
