Hypocrites......

Robert, you more or less summed up this guy. I know I am just as guilty as the next guy for not having a filter between my brain and my mouth at times and perhaps that is just what it is. I have had several conversations with this fellow over the few years that I have known him where his mouth was a half second ahead of his brain. This particular conversation we had just sort of pushed me over the edge.

I have a question I usually ask people when they go off like that:

"Did you hear what you just said?"

It usually catches people off guard and you have to tell them what they just said.

When you have to repeat back to them what they just said, it tells you that they are, indeed, suffering from mouth in OD, brain in neutral. It usually makes them stop and think about how what they just said doesn't jive.

If they know what they just said and stand by it, then you know they've thought things through and it's time to walk away and not hypocrasize yourself by listening anymore.

Because, personally, I'm worried more about my own hypocrisy than I am the other guys.
