Ok, let me try to decipher this…
Because women aren’t as in tune with your boorishness as men, a larger percentage of the random touching you engage in with people of the general public are women; and this is because you feel that this touching will allow these women to become more in tune with your boorishness? So the women that you touch will be able to realize what a pig you are?
And how did you come by this statistic? Anal research?
Touching complete strangers is a terrible idea. They may react very negatively. I would react very negatively.
I did this the other day. I was walking through the car park carrying one bag. A young woman finished loading her van and closed the back door just as I walked past. I grabbed her cart saying, “I’m parked down where this goes.” She was demonstrably thankful.
It’s all in the mindset. Without trying hard you can spot opportunities to do a free good deed every day. But you don’t have to try hard to find reasons to bitch and moan and make the lives of others more miserable. But you do have to be looking for them.
When I wash my hands in a public bathroom that has paper towels, I dry my hands and then use the paper towel to quickly wipe the counter and sink before I toss the paper towel.
It’s really a very little, low effort thing. But it makes the place look so much nicer, and it makes me feel like I’ve fought entropy just a little bit.
Random, anonymous acts of kindness can really make you feel like a queen. (or king).
Long conversations with old folk. I never walk away without having learned something.
In your *wet *nightmares?
The touching thing; you can really only get away with that if you’re a woman. Even if you mean well. Sorry, but that is how it is.
Mine: take one of those thing plastic grocery bags with you when you go out for a walk. If you see litter, plastic, cans, put them in and take them to the nearest trash can. Not only do you make the place look neat, you also prevent others to throw garbage out (garbage attracts garbage) and, you prevent plastic shards and shreds from ending up in the water, where they end up choking animals.
I have learned how to increase my tolerance for long pointless conversations.
Crack jokes if you want, but you will thank me when you start noticing your name turning up in people’s will.
All good, except why "cook your own food? ". Something wrong with restaurants or having a chef?
What’s the difference between a crackhead and an alcoholic?
An alcoholic will steal your keys… A crackhead will steal your keys and help you look for them.
Pick up trash in your neighborhood.
Look people in the eye and say “please” and “thank you”, and mean it.
Don’t be an ass while behind the wheel - let people merge in front of you, don’t cut people off, use your turn signal.
If you see something wrong being done by another, don’t be a bystander, step-in and help correct the issue.
Touching people without definite evidence it is desired is definitely NOT improving the world. Please keep your hands to yourself!
Laugh at people’s jokes. Even if they aren’t that funny.
…And then ask for money for helping look.
Nah, what I meant is that it is generally more acceptable for me to behave in a boorish way around men, there are few (non-antipodean) women indeed who appreciate it (or at least when they are sober).
Interesting you use the pig word, I actually hadn’t realised that boorish was derived from pig but suddenly now you mention it it makes perfect sense!
He thinks touching women while behaving boorishly somehow negates the boorishness!
Yeah, it’s a bit weird.
The more ‘touchy-feely’ a person you are (that is, the more likely you are to be touching people), the less sensitive/perceptive you’re likely to be to those cases who really don’t want you touching them.
I like the whole ‘be nice’ thing, and personally, I can tolerate a moderate level of touchy-ness and personal space invasion, but it’s a bit weird, and often has the opposite effect to what you intend.
It makes sense, but it’s wrong - it’s actually from the Latin for cow 
I agree with everything except the part I bolded.
Unless you are a very close, long term friend of mine or my family - don’t touch me please. It won’t endear you to me, it won’t comfort me, it makes me cringe.
Gee, I was thinking of a law that makes any elected official taking money or perks automatically loses their salary and pension.
No elected official gets over $100,000 for a pension?
Make it only legal for native Indians to sell marijuana. We do kinda owe them, and this way they get a little prosperity.
But acts of kindness are always good too!
