let me explaiiiin -
remember the time, when you used to sit in class behind the desk, always piled with assignments, homework, test preparations. And, what used to be if go with incomplete homework. A good shouting from in front of the desk. The teacher, who would give a good scolding. To which you always would say, does she know how it is to be loaded with dozen of homework.How difficult it is to prepare ! She just know how to shout. Other end, teacher would gasp - what else you have to do except studying !
Sweet memories but isn't it true. Also, when the teacher would do something wrong, should we also say her to go out of the class or shout on them. Nah !
We all require taste of our medicine. Too rude to be true. But true enough to the ruder you !
CAN YOU *feel* THE DESK !
I am a cleanliness freak. A polite freak. I like to keep things at its place. No mess. I have my own daily rituals to keep everything rightly. One of my previous roommate was not that into such stuff. She would leave her sachets, used near to the sink which would make others a little uncomfortable in using it. Other roommates including me used to get little irritated seeing this ! We would sometime discuss, why it doesn't hit to people. Why can't they keep it clean. While discussing, one of my friend said, have you seen that soap lying near the sink. It looks so bad. Whose it is ! And why can't the person keep it in a soap tray.
And, guess what - it was mine ! LOL! And, it pinched. I confessed it was mine. To which she replied - oh ! It wasn't expected from you. I felt "ouch" but yes, I realized it too. I immediately kept the soap neatly within my soap case.And, there was end of discussion. You know why ? Because I got the taste of my own medicine.
We all tend to be dealing with people. Sometimes, as a customer or sometimes as the dealers and our response changes as we switch places around the desk. You know what, it becomes like an endless cycle. Sometimes you will listen to others fuss and other time you will make a fuss about.
What if we just remove the desk. What if we talk as if one human is talking to other. Not a manager or some rank to a needy person. Simply, as a human we discuss problems, options, solutions and limitation. Such, mutual behavior ,
So what do you say guys ..... how was your experience on the other side of the "desk" !!!!!
