If there is a ‘fashion police’, GTA this month, has a ‘behavior police’.  Ever had the feeling that you wanted to tell some people off because their actions are not in conformity with good manners, social graces, proper breeding and even good hygiene? If you’re someone who is typically a ‘nice person’ and just bites your tongue, just grins and bears it, this is for you.  This is not exactly for the bourgeois and I don’t demand for finesse. We just want you to BE CONSIDERATE OF OTHER PEOPLE, especially when in public. Although ‘sticks and stones will hurt your bones and words won’t hurt you’, I still think people should be told when they’re wrong!

Here I go again after being ‘on patrol’ for days in and around GTA. My ‘crime report’ will tell you about ‘behavior violators’ in one very public place – THE OFFICE.  If you work in an office where you spend majority of your waking hours, you’d expect to enjoy staying there. As it turns out for some of you, you simply want to put in your eight hours and say, ‘I’m outta here!”  Why? That’s because you don’t want to spend one more minute longer with your colleagues who just don’t care about their habits and behavior. Don’t you just wish that one day you could look at that ‘someone’ straight in the eye and say something about it, in his or her face?

To that supervisor who leans over your desk to give you a task and you try not to breathe because the foul odor coming from his/her mouth is puffing all over you,

“Can you please brush your teeth, gurgle in a strong mouthwash and pop a breath mint in your mouth before you talk to anyone– in your face!”

To that colleague who comes rummaging through your office fridge looking into people’s lunch boxes and just taking whatever they fancy,

“Hey, that’s not nice. Why don’t you bring your own lunch? You just don’t take what’s not yours – in your face!”

Now that it’s summer and people sweat a lot, here comes Susie all sweaty, with body odor all strong and smelly,

“Geez, girlfriend, take a shower daily, use some anti-perspirant and spare us the BO – in your face!

To the kitchen I go again, now what have we here? Dirty cups and crumbs all over the countertop!  To that colleague who just left them there,

“Please clean up after yourself, your mother is not here – in your face!”

In the staff washroom, you’d expect it to be clean as it’s just office workers using it there, but then you walk in and someone did not flush, all to your disgust –

“Hey fella, you don’t want me to yell at ya’, please flush, don’t be in a rush, there’s someone coming right after ya’ – in your face!”
