Just Keep Quiet and Nobody Will Notice

There is one thing that ought to be taught in all the colleges, including Singapore Managment University, Which is that people ought to be taught not to go around always making apologies without any freaking reason.

I don't mean the kind of apologies people make when they run over you or take your laptop home or step on your feet. I object to one kind of apology alone, which is when people spend their time and yours apologizing for everything they own.

For example,

You go to their house for a meal, and they apologize because the meal isn't caviar or some rare duck.They apologize privately for the crudeness of the other guests and they apologize publicly for their wife's housekeeping or their husband's jests. If they take you to the theater, they apologize for the acting and the dialogue and the plot.When you are from another country, they apologize for everything local that is not followed globally. FUCK.... They contain more milk of human kindness than the most capacious diary can.


But the worse of them all is when they say something of theirs is awful, and it is your duty to convince them politely that it is magnificent and glorious.

HATE those boring conversations.
