This weeks Saturday Question is a bit different. Laughing Wolf has inspired me again!!
This morning he has up a great post about a driver he observed that well...kinda made an ass of themselves. It's a great post so go read it.....I'll wait.
Ok - now - his signoff is a question.

who asks how do you react when you screw up?
So - how do you react? Hmmmm?
Me - I say I'm sorry all the time anyway - but that is the first thing I do. Even if I screw up driving I get that sappy embarrassed look and mouth my apology. In real life....I will point it out to you as soon as I realize what I did. I think it's a defense of sorts. If I tell YOU I'm still ok. Plus I can usually make you laugh when I tell you what I did. (USUALLY) To me that's part of the making it right. Laughter is always a good balm.
Anyway - I just hate people who think they are never in the wrong. It's one of my pet peeves. It's just down right arrogant and rude. Two things that just hit me like nails on a chalk board.
So tell me - how do you react when you screw up.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Posted by: Harvey at July 30, 2005 10:45 AMWhen on those occasions when I have screwed up and, in the worst cases, hurt someone's feelings (which I like to think are rare), I have found that fessing up and apologizing to be the best course.
Yeah, I'm a regular farookin' gottdamned prince that way.
