What is worse the bad attitude or the sickly sweet attitude. I get the urge to throttle the sickly sweet people I meet.
I must then have an attitude problem.
Only stress when you can change the outcome!
my understanding is manners are taught to you when growing up...something missing in a lot of households...starts at the kitchen table...not a place where many families spend their time eating...shovel grub in front of tv seems to be the norm (generalising)
attitude is more like a chip on your shoulder feel like you been hard done by and the world owes you...like your parents bringing you into this world.
respect is something earned over a period of time...sometimes bullies mistakenly think they have respect instead they have fear and like the saying goes live by the gun die by the gun...a person who is a bully would be left standing when the kak hits the fan...a person who has earned respect would have people die for him...
gladiator a good example...that fool who stabbed him while going up in the lift had an attitude problem and was a bully.
i have been told i have an atitude problem...thats why i was ragging dave...i have also been told i am a pesimist and a lot of other things...i am working on it...i do believe people can change if steered in the right direction.

Dave I've noticed that people who have a bad attitude, usually play it off on, "I don't have a bad attitude, I just don't take crap from anyone".
It's like asking, "Do insane people know they're insane?" I firmly believe, a bad attitude is a bad attitude. There are things that everyone knows, which is common sense and general good manners.
Like greeting someone, even if you mad at them. I believe no matter how mad you are, it's common decency to greet someone.
Always say thank you, & mean it. Certain people think things are owed to them. ( I refer to my post on that friend wanting work issue ).
Respect the elderly. This one goes without saying.
Now some people think they're above this, hence the bad attitude.
So in a nutshell, people with bad attitudes generally think they're "standing up for themselves".
I am fully aware of my attitude towards others. But that said it boils down to circumstance. If a person reflects a bad attitude towards me I will do the same, a person reflects a good attitude towards me I will do the same.

I am actually a very easygoing person so if I am to met myself it would be without incident.
Normally yes "because you get treatment" lots of pills and people starring at you while you pay them R650 an hour... And then they will ask questions and stuff. According to them "I am a few cards short of a full deck."Do insane people know they're insane
My question is: What is "normal" anyway?

My boss could be considered to have an 'attitude'. He tends to ramble on about topics and changes the topic before anyone has offered a response, if he is interupted then the "interuptee" is told they are rude. However, had this person not interupted, the debate would have included only the bosses opinion. Is this typical of many persons holding positions of leadership, generally considering that they have the correct answers and that subordinates are not as informed or knowlegable and therefore not capable of offering an alternative point of view?
I always insist on treating the CEO with the same attitude as I would the Gardener, simply because both have a valid point of view. Is it disrespectful to consider people as complete equals whether they are a CEO or a Mechanic?
