idiot's guide to dealing with people.
i proudly present my idiot's guide to dealing with people. seriously, i realise that there are too many idiots running amok around, and hence i feel that there is a need to know how to deal with such people. of course there are many areas in which we find idiots in, but my main topic around this idiot's guide is about meeting ups, getting stood up and the likes.
i myself have been in situations where i get stood up. like today for example. thats why i want to blog about it. but it happened quite quickly and im not really sure why it happened so i shall not get angry over it...yet. that is until i find out more lah.
anyways here's the idiot's guide to dealing with people who stood you up
#1. don't get angry first.
#2. have a simple chat with the person ( or idiot) who stood you up. ask nicely why you got stood up. you never know, the person ( or idiot) may have a very good reason (or excuse) as to why he/she/it stood you up.
#3. put yourself in the other party's shoes. what would you do in his/her/it's situation? would you do the same thing? or would you do something more?
#4. after you talk the talk, the next step depends on what was the reason (or excuse) that you got.
#5. its always important to understand the other person (or idiot) because there are real cases where there is an emergency. as a prevention to misunderstandings, always take the first assumption, when you get stood up, as that the other person (or idiot) has an emergency on hand.
#6. if the reason was a real crap excuse, by all means, do what you want, get angry, show your temper. or one of my favourite methods, the silent treatment. just plainly ignore the person and his/her/it's further lame ass excuses and any other stupid shit explanations.
#7. however if it was a real emergency, be supportive of the person, and lend your help wherever possible, you never know how much a person's help to another can be. sometimes its godsend. furthermore, you never know when you need help from others.
a short guide that i've thought of just now. i just think that whilst its very important to think for others, its also equally important that others think for you as well. its not amusing to get stood up, for the wrong things. and apparently there are many, many, many idiots out there now, who fail to understand this point. that's damn sad in my opinion.
i don't think that anyone deserves another person to wait for him/her/it for so long. not even the president lah. do you know how bad and idiotic it feels to stand or sit in a place and keep waiting? its not fun or funny at all. i personally do not wait for people for more than an hour. if the person is late, that's too bad. i'll just leave without informing the other person. even if he/she/it comes 1 hour and 1 minute after the arranged meeting time, i'll still leave.
before any of you idiots come and flame me, think about whether you yourself would wait for 1 hour. i believe that 1 hour is generous enough a period of time spent waiting. i can do better things with this 1 hour rather than wait for the likes of idiots. but i chose to do so, today. hell, some of you asses out there wont even wait 30 minutes for your friends. so yeah, shut the hell up. unless you got some emergency or you are in a coma, tell the person who is waiting for you, not to wait for you anymore as you are unable to meet him/her/it at the last minute. do so as soon as possible. don't tell the person to wait a while for you, let the person wait 40 minutes then you this idiot come and say sorry that you can't meet up le.
