20 things it took me 30 years to learn (from a set of jokes that a friend sent me)
-
1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night. 2. If you have to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved its full potential, that word would be "meetings." 3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness" 4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them. 5. And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity, He WILL NOT use, as His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle. 6. You should not confuse your career with your life. 7. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. 8. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy. 9. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. If anybody cares how you dance, feel sorry for them. They need to get a life and learn how to have fun. And notice that people, who dance and cut loose once in a while, usually live longer. 10. Never lick a steak knife. 11. Take out the fortune before you eat the cookie. 12. The most powerful force in the universe is gossip. 13. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time. 14. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment. 15. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven. 16. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers. 17. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them. 18. A person that is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.) 19. Don't think that because a person is having fun, they are drinking to excess. Some people have fun naturally given the moment and you need to find out how they do it. 20. Thought for the day: Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.
#18 is very very true ands also applies to people who are rude to other workers e.g. cleaners, maintenance etc in an office.

I second that. I have seen many such people. They don't spare anyone below their level.
