Nice vs. Not So Nice - Where do you fall?

[deadstroke32]

So the guy lays his $20 bill on the corner pocket, just as Max is going to pocket the winning 8-ball. Max makes the 8, picks up the twenty and tells the guy to not do that again or else.

So the next game, just as Max is going to pocket the 8-ball, the guy places his twenty on the chosen pocket. Max looks at him with a little distain, makes the 8, grabs the money, and tells the guy again to not do that.

The next game, just as Max is going to pocket the 8-ball, the guy puts his $20 on the pocket again. Max looks up, smacks the 8-ball to the side with his stick, grabs the money and stuffs it in his pocket. The guy says, "You can't do that!" A guy watching the whole thing from a bar stool jumps into his face a yells, "Hey you stupid, fucking' asshole, he warned you two times!"

Suddenly, I'm not sure why I posted this story...I guess I wanted to hear it again.

This question makes me wonder if the term "situation appropriate" applies.

I can be nice or a real problem dependent upon how I perceive the situation at hand. I have found that the average person who can reasonably expect to have to deal with someone again tends to tether the beast that hides within us all (thus the common "evil twin" joke). This, of course, doesn't take into consideration, the socio/psychopath...who recognizes neither the now (current situation) or the future and his facial expression/body language does not project his underlying emotion. How many times have you heard "watch out for the quiet ones!" and "a fellow that really means you harm won't telegraph it"?

Most of us make initial presumptions about how we'll begin with the people who come into our field of interaction. To me this says much more about the person than how a conflict resolves. There are many subtle clues that most of us take into account (whether we know it or not) when our blood pressure begins to rise.

To me, the other significant "choking point" is how a person deals with the backside of a confrontation. It is important to learn how to let something go...smoldering hard feelings held next to your heart do a great deal more damage to the holder than the object of the feelings. To remain angry at someone is to be their slave...those who brood and wait for another opportunity to attack suffer a constant wound most often unnoticed by the other side of the equation...healthy people learn to forgive.

This does not mean forget...healthy people adjust their presumptions based on experience. That being said...the second time I havetrouble with someone is likely to be greatly different from the first. but, at some point I will choose to either resolve it (develop a plan) or let it go. Resolution for me can take many forms but I typically don't act blindly (without calculated impact).

Consequently, most folks either love me or hate me...not much in between. i have learned the important question is how I perceive myself.

Just my opinion, you be the judge.

I try to be nice in a nasty way. "Hey dipshit, are you going to mark up your win?"

I guess this would be considered aggressive/dislike, but i just have to point this out.

If someone feels the need to have a 7.42 daily post average, they are definitely trying to draw attention to themselves. ESPECIALLY if of those posts, maybe 0.5% are actually ABOUT pool.

I think it might be an AZ record.

I can see if it were legitimate responses to the questions that are posed, or the topics at hand, but it never ceases to amaze me how the topic can go right down the toilet, and all the chatter starts, as soon as Sweet NOTTRYINGTODRAWATTENTIONTOMYSELF-ISSA says something.

To say it's not for the attention, is just wrong.

Innuendos, Jokes, Jest, and the proverbial online batting of the eyelashes are PRECISELY forms of communication that are designed to get a response. aka. ATTENTION

just an observation.

LOL How true this post is. I wonder if the new user name you selected would work on this forum. Anyone know the character limit....

LOL How true this post is.

I think Superstar's post should get July "post of the month" in all categories. It was on the mark...had best graphics and special effects...and was the best researched.
