Braxton1 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 The younger generations have gotten so rude with each other (ever watch 'Jersey Shore', 'Punked', 'Jackass, et. al.?) that we've become acclimated to being abused, so I've changed the Golden Rule a bit: Instead of "Treat others like you'd want to be treated", it's now "Treat others like you'd want your mama to be treated". I think that raises our standard a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifeislarge Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 ..... Give away the things you don't need. Funny how we'll give away hundreds of dollars of clothes that no longer fit, but we try to sell an old holster for twenty bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RammerJammer Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet. And from my Grandmother: Always assume that someone is doing the best they can, this cuts down on pointless anger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springloaded440 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Realize there's a 99.999% chance the service person you're talking to on the phone DOESN'T own the Company, so be respectful. They may have just got off the phone with: The younger generations have gotten so rude with each other... After all, you are calling THEM for help!

benos Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Make it a general rule to leave the bathroom light on in your hotel room, if you plan on getting piss-drunk by drinking a shit-ton of beer, for when you wake up mid-morning and have 15 seconds to find a place to pee.
