BS: Let's be nice to people today!

From: Liz the Squeak

I've had a headache all week... I think it started when I read the now closed 'more session rudeness' thread.

How about we take today to be nice to someone eh? Perform a random act of kindness, hold a door open for the person behind you, wait patiently in the queue at the store, smile at a stranger or offer someone your seat on the train, that sort of thing.

Someone must have paid you a compliment or done you a favour in the last 4 weeks, use today to pay it forward.

If 'the day' is 1969, then I was only 5, I couldn't reach gun barrels and my mum told me off for picking her flowers.

I NEVER tell people to have a nice day... if they want a shitty miserable day, they are perfectly entitled to have one... I just thought it would be nice for a change, if people on Mudcat didn't slag each other off, pick on anyone or shove their opinions down others' throats.

If you want to be miserable, then fine, go ahead and be miserable, but if someone holds a door open for you, lets you go first in the queue or just smiles at you, then let them.

Thanks for starting this thread, Liz. I've been nice for over twenty-four hours now. In fact, I've been so nice I think I'm turning into a Care Bear. I can tell because I have pink hair growing from my ears and nostrils. It'll probably start affecting my pubic hair by nightfall. Oh, joys! Just what I've always wanted! An insipid personality and pink hair on my ass. Thanks again.

Purple hair means you're turning into Barney the Dinosaur (yes I know dinosaurs don't have hair but neither is there evidence that they wore green waistcoats either) and then I'm afraid you'll have to be shot on sight.

Be nice to people, but not purple dinosaurs.

Yes, lady p., it's nice that they're polite. They've even apologized for the minor itching and irritation they've caused while gestating. They're much nicer than those other aliens from out Deneb way. Churlish boors with an inordinate fondness for anal probing, that lot.

Actually I opened the door, for a male of the species, and he looked at me like I was some sort of alien life form :-D

Uh oh, Def Shepard. Whatever you opened the door for wasn't of the same species. They don't have males and females. They reproduce vegetatively, but only in the presence of excretions like ear wax or nasal mucous. I'd tell you more about it, but it's snot very nice, and this is the "be nice" thread.

Can we define 'today' cos I'm getting a headache from withdrawal symptoms I'm addicted to being slightly cruel!!! It's a balanced diet thing!!!

Can I just be kind (and I don't mean any of that random acts of kindness rubbish - jeez that's enough to send people mad!!!)

Because I'm nice and because it's Friday, the Holy Day of Pastafarianism, I've canceled all flogging and keelhauling of the staff. I hope that it doesn't make them too uppity.

Being a dessertarian myself, I celebrate Fridays in the only appropriate manner.

Wanna try and get it off me? I may not be very nice then....

but it has been a long time since I had a BFG.

And I'm not talking about the Roald Dahl creation.

And you REALLY wouldn't like Liz when she's not being very nice. She can easily burst eardrums at twenty five yards, or knock the windscreen out of a Volvo at fifteen........Honest!

Well, now as I wend my weary way into the arms of Morpheus I can say that I have indeed been nice to people today. I have had no one flogged, drawn and quartered, keelhauled, hanged, electrocuted, shot, decapitated, burnt at the stake, boiled alive, staked out on an anthill, or otherwise forced to violently shuffle off this mortal coil. I haven't hit anyone with my feet, knees, forehead, elbows, hands, fingers or anything else. In fact, I bought candy for my staff and it wasn't even poisoned.

I did not play either banjo or bodhran or even attempt the accordion.

All in all, I was pretty nice today (except for that guy who turned left from the right hand lane -- HIM I wasn't nice to but he probably didn't hear what I called him).

Today is over, it's now tomorrow. I mean tomorrow was today yesterday, wait on, yesterday... was tomorrow, today... no, tomorrow was today yesterday... oh, what the hell...


So can I stop being nice now?

No, it's still today here.

Today is yesterdays' tomorrow.

I wasn't nice to a driver either, but as he was blithely reversing his car directly into my path, I think I was justified. Either I've turned into a vampire with no reflection or he was backing out without the benefit of a glance into the reflective items on the side of his BMW.

I was nice to the cat though.

The aliens from the general direction of the Orion Nebula are fully fledged now, have left their nests in my ears and nose, and are dancing on top of my computer. They're doing something that looks vaguely like a '60s dance called The Frug. Since I don't know what they're called, I'll call them Little Fruggers.

A flyswatter will solve the problem of those Little Fruggers, but only if you do it nicely.

By the way (and this is a serious question even though it doesn't sound like it): What does a gentleman wear to a tea? I don't have a nice little tea frock and would probably look...well, not good...in one.

Be nice, huh? I dunno... I've been feeling even more irritable and irascible than usual lately. I'm finding everyone and everything really annoying, and am reacting in kind. I wonder if it's physiological. Maybe a change in diet would help... Chamomile tea, anyone?

Nothing wrong with being irritable and irascible, just be sure to do it in a nice way.

Rap, the Little Fruggers read your post and ate the flyswatter. Any more ideas?

Rapaire, a gentlemen wears a pale coloured suit, with a white shirt and pale coloured tie. If desired, a panama hat or boater. But mostly he wears a smile... *G*

White linen trousers and a jacket striped like a Corporation deckchair is also acceptable tea or picnic wear for gentlemen.

or you could be the modern day gentleman and wear leather trousers, boots with enough buckles to tie a superyacht down, piercing white shirt, leather sports jacket, tie your hair in a ponytail(if you have enough that is!) and a leather hat(not cap... a hat!!!). You could add jewellery if you wish but nothing too flamboyant ;)

PS... not recommended if you're under 5'10" unless you are of a small build! :D

Bee-Dubya, them Little Fruggers are just hungry. Why don't you feed them?

Thanks for the satorial advice. It's a kick-off tea which will involve about 25 of the nicest, most polite, and toughest ladies in town -- the kind that simply get things that have to be done, done. The project is to raise about US $3.5 million for the Library and as Library Director I'll have to be there.

Pale blue pants, white shirt, and a pastel tie it is then! I'll even wear shoes for a change -- shined shoes.
