Keep your opinion to yourself...

Why do people constantly feel the need to share their ignorant opinions?

If I am at work and somebody comes in chances are I do not want to talk to them, especially about anything that might be relevant, because chances are they are not well enough informed about what is going on to make any kind of real contribution should a real conversation break out. There are many topics in which I do not care to converse with you about.

Sports: I do not wish to discuss the Lions draft this year. I could tell you more about football in 5 minutes than you could ever hope to learn in a lifetime, so don't try and discuss it with me. I am sick of these armchair GMs acting like they know what the Lions should do.

Politics: You are uneducated and have no understanding of politics. I do not want to hear about how you hate the president, "are still waiting to be blown away" by the governor, are waiting for "change." I just do not want to hear you.

Lottery: I hate the lottery. I do not want to talk about what numbers you play or how you almost won.

Questioning me and what I say: If I ask you or tell you something, do not protest it. Give me your ID when I ask for it, fill out a slip when you are told to fill out a bet slip, and leave when you are told to get out because you are such a winner that you somehow managed to get yourself banned from a convenience store.

The bottom line is I just don't want to talk to you. Come in, buy your stuff, and get out. My advice: Do me a favor and don't even come in.
