QUOTE FOR THE DAY

"A man can become so accustomed to the thought of his own faults that he will begin to cherish them as charming little "personal characteristics".     Helen Rowland

This quote really irks me.  This is the rationale behind people who say "Oh, that is just the way he/she is" in order to justify crappy behavior.

Well guess what?  It's NOT okay.  Whether or not you want to justify it by saying "that's just the way he/she is", it's still crappy behavior.

Instead of letting them think that these faults are "little quirks" - call them out on them.  Tell them that it's not OK.
