Cookie thread
WhisperJ: "Become a regular of your ATF and it won't be an issue. You can pay whenever you want--before or after."
If a gentleman doesn't place payment as a first priority, I personally believe he is more apt to "forget" and/or "blur the lines" (IE See Cookies.) This would apply to regulars, established hobbyists, & newbies.
(For me,) blurred lines or forgetting brings about
avoidable confrontations and feelings of hurt & disrespect.
I become very angry with
myself if faced with these types of feelings. I dislike feelings of upset and hurt (which lead to anger...) SO, instead of being angry with a person, I become angry with myself.
So, basically, if the cookie or forget ruse arises, I blame myself.
For me, the effect is more than the "chump" feeling
It is one of deep seeded anger at myself for allowing myself to be chumped and allowing myself to be in a situation that I know I would feel angry over.
Holy cow! Why on earth would someone wish to encounter me in that state? It really does effect not only you, but me, and
anybody who interacts with me.
The logical solution is for me is to quit working to avoid such tumultuous feelings. However, life is not always as black and white as that. SO, I maintain gratefulness that I am able to work, dedicate myself, and try hard to make people happy and to play nicely.
I wish for world peace, but then again, I am a believer that there would be fewer wars if every man woke to fellatio......
