I don’t exactly command respect, but that’s fine with me. I don’t even want respect, because respect is not what I’m about. I mean, we’re all just human beings, living on the planet, right? But there’s something I do believe in, and that’s being polite. When I offer someone younger and less experienced than myself some well-intentioned advice, I don’t think that person should look at me like I’m some idiot and snap, “What are you even talking about?”
To this person, I might say it isn’t the lack of respect, but the lack of politeness that I find offensive. I might also add that they may want to re-think being such a huge bitch.
