i'd like to hear your opinions on how this would make you feel. am i too rude? i am somewhat of a loudmouth & speak my mind.
sometimes i will get in a conversation with a customer about his SO (wife/gf). often they will roll their eyes or tell me 'she's a bitch' or something negative about her. here's an example:
customer a: she drives me nuts! what a nag!
me: i hope not to offend you with this & you don't have to answer, but just a quick thought: if you are so unhappy, why don't you leave her? maybe you should try & look at what she does that makes you so unhappy & try and work it out, if that doesnt work, why stay?
is this rude? i mean, if someone complains to me about their relationship, that is my general question i ask, both in & out of work. i, personally, can hold my own, so if someone makes me unhappy to the point i cant work it out, i leave. most customers i ask this to are not really offended, just surprised. it's like the thought of leaving their wife/gf had never come to their minds. i always make sure though that they know if the dont want to talk about the subject, it can end at any time.
would it offend you if a dancer asked you this, should the topic come up? i just find it silly to sit and twirl my hair and giggle. i dont say that what theyre doing is wrong by cheating or staying with the person. i just pose the question to them that their are other options out there.
