You made a great suggestion. That would allow the person the benefit of the doubt. I will make sure to keep that in mind next time. I think that is a great outlook to have. Yes I have heard about him. I was signed up to attend the Oprah webcasts but I wasn't able to attend. I will have to give the book a once over. Thanks for sharing. I am glad you enjoyed it!

My brother's friend has a subtle way of implying to someone that their behavior is not ok. He'll say, "Having a bad day?" This manages to give the person the benefit of the doubt that they're usually a nice person while at the same time letting them know that they're acting crappy. It doesn't always work, but it definitely has more times than not. It might not have worked with a guy like this though, because he seems more crappy deep down. I laughed out loud at that bumper sticker. Clever. And I was wondering if you've watched any of the webcasts with Eckart Tolle at Oprah.com Oprah chose his book, A New Earth, to the book club selection. I watched the first day and it was pretty cool. I've read a lot of spiritual books and some of the stuff that Tolle said definitely made me look at things differently. We’ve definitely all met people like that.

It is so much easier just to smile and be kind. Why allow it you be part of your life anymore than it needs to be. Thanks for your sharing. I appreciate it! I agree with you.

Unfortunately, they do not realize the impact that have on those around them. Like you said, in a matter of a few minutes, this guy affected each of you negatively and left a lasting negative impression on you all. I can't make judgements on this person, because I don't know him and I don't know his background. In these situations, I just smile and remain kind. Negative attention only makes their egos greater. I live by the philosophy that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. You never know when someone you come in contact with will be someone that will greatly impact your life in the future. Unfortunately, there was a point in my life that I made those first impressions bad impressions. It's not my proudest moment, but it happened.

I always hope the real them is a better person or at least wants to be. Thanks for your comment!

It is sad that he feels like he has to be that way. He probably lives in a crack house and drives a 1976 pinto with cigarette burns in the seats. The only way he can feel good about himself is making people think he is worth something, LOL. It is fun to imagine. Maybe they should put a sign on the door that they reserve the right to refuse anyone service. Anyway, another great life lesson on how we present ourselves. Have a great day!
