Re: QOTD: Monday, June 17th
A sloppily filled in application form for one thing. If they can't be bothered to answer neatly and succinctly, why should I put in the effort to read it? And then, if they neglect to submit it in triplicate, that's a no-no. Payment of subscription helps a great deal, although it's no guarantee.

No, actually, it's not as if I have a formal procedure for the acquisition of new friends. In fact, my wife says I'm far too gullible and trusting and it's true that most people disappoint me sooner or later. Not that my standards are high, but I do tend to regard everyone as better than me so it's a bit of a downer when I discover that they're not. But how do you tell, that's what I want to know. To ascertain lying for instance, do you ask them what the capital of Mongolia is and then pounce when they don't know or say anything but Ulan Bator? It's not easy, is it? So it's no wonder that I get caught out so often.

Which explains why I've left it up to chance as to who becomes a friend and who doesn't. Takes so much stress out of the deal when it's all unconscious and accidental.
