Where's the consideration?

Inconsiderate:
1.Without regards to others - lacking thought or consideration for other people and their feelings

Today’s blog starts out with a definition. I think at times we all need to be reminded of what the word “inconsiderate” means. We are all quick to forget, that despite the fact of putting yourself first is usually good, that sometimes in certain situations there is room to consider what you say to others, primarily your friends.

Examples:
- When you are hanging out with a friend in a bar/club/concert venue… if you are bored and decide to leave, let your friend know. Just ditching them might seem funny (depending on who your friend is), repercussions of your choices might not be so nice.

- When you are at a concert and you are in the front row, I know (as well as everyone else there) the guitarist playing in front of you is within arms reach. Reaching out and trying to touch the guitarist, granted they “may” be into that (who knows), but reaching out and attempting to strum the stings on the guitar is a bad idea! Do not alienate the guitarist like this.

- When your friend calls to tell you about a serious situation, please refrain from asking them where they purchased their shoes. Despite it being a compliment to your friends taste and/or style, there are more appropriate times to ask that.

- While at the doctors office, it is not necessary for Nurses to talk to everyone like they are deaf. Also not necessary to talk to patients like we are under the age of 5. That fake perky tone does noting for me... trust me!

Today's lesson... Think before you talk! What is that saying? "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all?" Or screw it and just nod your head, seem interested and walk away while thinking "dumb-ass!".
