Basic Courtesy...

I think people nowadays are seriously lacking in basic courtesy. I'm not saying that I'm not one of those but at least some care should be taken in the obvious areas. Especially if you will be caught red-handed for not showing.

If we are genuinely sleeping on the public transport and did not notice the needies for the seat, fine. But in the working world and within friends, please don't try to act like you are transparent or that your colleague / friend is stupid. We might be blur or slow but we are not clueless idiots.

If you wanna snatch my sales, or if you already have the guts to lie and snatch my sales, then please have the balls to tell me. Don't just take the call, tell pax that I'm not around, make the necessary changes for them, then casually 'forgot' to inform me about it. I know you are desperate to fill up the lack of sales while you were enjoying your live in UK for 2 bloody months then come back and hit on my pax. It's just not right. If you have the courtesy to tell me my pax called while I'm away and they had changed their plans and you wanna take over, I would let you. No hard feelings or what-so-ever. I am not that kinda person who guard my sales / pax like a guard dog. But by doing what u did, made me loath u more. And when I confront you, please don't tell me you're trying to think why you did not mention to me. That's crap in my opinion. And you don't blame me for not being friendly with you at the end of the day.

I just don't like you. Period.

As a friend, respect is very important. We are all working adults and thus are busy and time is very precious. To everyone of us. Including you. We always treasure every minute we can spend together. And if anyone of us make an effort to arrange and meet up, please make your effort too. Don't disappoint us again and again. It came to the point where we sometimes don't even bother to include you in while planning. And when I arrange to meet up, I will always try to make it on time. If I will be late, I will inform. That I believe is basic courtesy between friends. And when you advise people to be on time, you should be on time too. We are normally ok with a time grace of maybe 5 minutes? Not half an hour or even up to an hour or more. And though every one of us will tend to be late due to some reason or another, we don't make it a habit. We are not obliged to be waiting for you every single time. This is just not fair. Being buddies means we have to accept and understand every single time you are late on every single of our meeting. This is already taking us for granted. This is not friendship.

I always think friendship is a 2 way traffic. It is more tolerant than a boy-girl relationship but it does have it's limits as well. I would blame myself for not keeping in contact with my friends and buddies and will only blame myself if I lose a friend due to lack of contact. I will not blame the others for not including me into their gathering, outings and meet-ups. Cos in friendship, it still takes 2 hands to clap.

No hard feelings but dear friend, hope u really learn and grow up...
