If You Know...

you need to swipe your ID to get into the building every time you enter, why do you wait until you're standing in front of the machine to pull out your ID from your purse?

there are 300 people trying to get off the subway, why won't you step aside instead of blocking the doors at Grand Central Station?

you know you have to pay for that coffee, why do you wait until they ring it up to even get out your wallet? The price hasn't changed from yesterday and I'm willing to bet that if it's 8:30am and you're buying coffee dressed in a suit, you aren't a tourist. I'm willing to bet you are a fair-trade junkie just like myself. Have your money out and ready.

you're next in line to order, why are you not prepared to rattle off the ingredients you want in your salad when asked?

you need to choose whole wheat or white or Italian herbs, why do act as if the decision is impossible? This is a Subway® sandwich, not a buy or sell on the market floor.

the deadline was Friday and it's now...Tuesday afternoon, why am I the bad guy for not making an exception to a deadline you clearly couldn't follow when you had over two weeks to complete it?

your client is a "super important one" why do you wait until 5 days before you need a special-custom printed item to ask me for it? Newsflash: you're not my only project and I can't make exceptions for you because you didn't do your homework and allow lead time.

I work 9-5, why do you e-mail me at 7:00 and ask me to send you a file? Newsflash, I don't bring my computer home and have files available after I leave this office. If you can't seem to find the time between 9 and 5 to e-mail and ask me, clearly you need to learn better time management skills and then maybe you wouldn't be in the office at 7:00 needing files that you can't have!

...Okay I'm done now.
