She replied that she has a medical condition and that she wasn't hurting anyone.

No one wanted to say anything to her even though there were many side eyes. And I was wishing the ambassador would have cautioned about not putting feet on seats today.

I&...Yes! Barking is good because it's honest. <br /><br />I'm trying to guess the tone of the verbal exchange because I wasn't there but based on the text it sounds terse and patronizing. <br /><br />You don't get folks to bend to your will - however right it is - by being terse and patronizing. I too applaud L,A for speaking up - braver than me - but I'm not surprised by the outcome. Better to speak your mind and tell it like it is than send people spiralling back to Kindergarten (yes I've got issues ;) ).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09190948833692517311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-88109307797958299872016-05-31T13:02:16.354-04:002016-05-31T13:02:16.354-04:00It sure beats my approach where I just bark at peo...It sure beats my approach where I just bark at people.<br />I don't have it in me to be nice anymore.C.J.

"Get your stanky-ass feet off the f'n seat!?"
