People skills.
« on: October 10, 2012, 01:21:00 PM »
Sadly and grossly lacking in todays society.
Nearly everyone is in such a hurry, grossly intolerant and generally don't give a toss about anything but their sweet selves.
It's depressing, and I see it every day, at werk, on the road, in the shops, on the street, evreybloodywhere. Banghead
Hate it.

So, it came as a really pleasant suprise when I found a whopper of a Toblerone bar in the fridge last night.
Upon enquiring as to whose it is, it seems that young Growler jnr, who doesn't receive much praise in the shadow of his bright lickle sister, was given it by one of his grateful regular passengers.

Why? 'Cus the old guy in question is so suprised at his caring pleasant attitude after years of having to put up with rude brusk bus drivers.

In their defence however perhaps, and hearing what I hear about the Bearletts boss, he's an absolute and full on nasty rude twat to the drivers. Can't string a sentence together without hollering and screaming vile abuse and f'in and blindin' cobnstantly.

Silly me. I thought the the word MANAGER was supposed to mean MANAGING people? Shrugs:

It is as easy to be civil and polite as it is to be nasty ..... You've brought him up well and it will pay off in later life.
Even when sacking people I was always as pleasant as possible except on one occasion when a guard so pissed me off I said "If you don't like it then fvck off".
He wrote to the MD repeating what I had said and the MD laughed his socks off "If he drove you to saying that we're better off without the twat!"
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

And if you have brought him up really really well he will give you a piece of his well earned Toblerone when the time comes. :thumbsup:
