That a lot of people don't want to understand how stuff works, even stuff they use frequently at home or at work.
omg yes!! this is one i have to practice.
- Whomever is in charge is probably the biggest jerk here.
I find that when I get to new social settings and am trying to figure out each individual and group dynamics, a good shortcut is to find out who is in charge. That person is usually deceptive, controlling, and a bit manipulative. Otherwise, they wouldn't have reached their position. Of course, this is a trend, not am absolute fact. There are social situations and organizations that I have been in where the person in charge isn't a jerk. However, those places tend to be unique and smaller in size.
When picking an item off the shelf in a store, I grab the one behind and bring it forward. I think I'm just trying to make as little impact as possible so I don't get yelled at :/
