Keep it to yourself!!!!!!!

While I started writing my notes on the window I had no idea how much I would learn about people from them. On approximately the third note I made the mistake of spelling a word wrong. While I spelled it correctly on my rough draft, I somehow didn't on the final draft that went up in the window. I never intended for the notes to be for anything other than entertainment for both the customers or myself. When the first customer brought my mistake to my attention, delivering it with such a level of cockiness, I found myself instantly upset. While he was obviously undereducated, he temporarily found himself pretty damn smart. I let him bask in his glory as I knew this was one topic I would not be able to refrain from making a condescending comment to him. After he left I realized both how fortunate I am for being both tactful in my criticisms and how often people do really care what others think of them. Unfortunately my level of respect for him dropped immensely. Before I saw him as a hardworking, undereducated middle-classed man trying to support his family, while now I see him as someone trying to hang on to whatever dignity he has left. In the future I ask people to refrain from correcting grammar mistakes and stick to how the letter makes you feel. I already went to school and am through trying to write perfect papers. From this point on it's about what's on the inside, not how it appears from someone looking for a mechanism to make themselves feel smarter. (on another note I forgot to mention that the Rams won on Friday night YEAAAA)
