The old saying " Give a man a fish, he'll eat for the day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. " has to do with teaching someone to do something. But what if they don't want to learn? It can be frustrating for anyone, how you can make something so easy for someone else to do and yet they still manage to screw it up. I know a few people in life like this. You can give them specific, written directions to follow, step 1, step 2, step 3 and so on... everything but hold their hand or do it for them. They still manage to blow it. There are people who leave you scratching your head in wonder, if they really just don't get it? They try, they honestly do and yet they fall short over and over, time and again. They either rush thru things, ignore things, skip things or try to just finish it now and come back later to clear up rather than do it right from the beginning. Um, no.

ReplyDeleteGotta think on this one, I hate dishonesty . to me it is the ultimate insult , by lying to me , the person is making the assumption that I am too stupid to recognise the truth and the lack of it . Not only disrespecting me ,but also my intelligence. Deliberate disobedience, as I see it is not much different.Challenging ,behavior for the purpose of baiting another into action or anger is dishonest as well.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to have a t-shirt that reads, "Deliberate Disobedience."
ReplyDeleteQueen Sized- No kidding, right? I know what you mean. If they lie about it long enough, somehow it becomes the truth.
ReplyDeleteFernValley- I hear you on this one. Challenging behavior is usually right alongside these two.
Mandy_Fish- I think black lettering on a pink shirt would be best suited for this, No? Just remember to put a picture of the Pixie on there...
We could make millions!
ReplyDeleteMandy_Fish- And would you be opposed to that?
ReplyDeleteI didn't think you would.
