Icebreaker: Attributes and Actions of Annoying People.
Examples: I don’t trust people who say “no worries.” That’s what you say when there are several worries.
Don’t stop in a doorway to keep talking; if you do, imagine there’s another episode “to be continued and keep walking.
If you have advice I haven't asked for, you know you’re going to give it to me anyway; you don’t have to treat it like a Christmas present and wrap it up for me.
Exercise: Core Competence Clueless people sometimes expect a lot of recognition for very small acts or gestures. Follow this formula for a joke…
[Major act]? [Hero label]. [Minor act]? [Bare-minimum competence]. [Optional Deflation tag].
Bench pressing 150 pounds? Beast mode. Returning the dumbbell to the rack? Housebroken. No treat.
Rescuing a dog from a burning building? Selflessness. Picking up your own dog’s crap? Civilized, not Sainthood.
Landing a plane in an emergency? Nerves of steel. Using your blinker? Mild awareness of others. Try not to faint from your own excellence.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:53zitqnhywvumaxvqmw4xwsu/bafkreifsbdhkqbbt75dwqst4ojrxrhq7reecs5t7dhq2y2lbtmtgnt3ahq)
