Government servicing

This morning I was introduced to a couple of people that I hadn’t met before.

One, a public servant, proffered an opinion; that he didn’t like me.

Confused, as I had never met him before, I asked why.

The answer had something to do with something I had written – what specifically I am not sure.

I suggested that he might actually try talking to me first before finalising his opinions about me because it might be a case that he would like me even if we disagreed on the subject of whatever it was I wrote.

Nuh. No way. Nicht.

I always think one should play the ball not the man. But I know this view is not universally shared.

Poor man, he will go through life hating strangers simply because he disagrees with their opinions.

I wonder what he does when one of his loved ones comes up with a contrary opinion?

Life must be hell for the intellectually rigid.
