You know how some people say they don't care, but they really do care, well I don't care.

My wife always gets way too upset about stuff. I explain how a certain thing will go and when it happens almost exactly the way I say it will, she freaks out. She is very loving and generous and is always way too nice to people. I believe in always being nice but realizing that most people are not worth a shit. But when the situation repeats itself, she wants to force the issue and tell people what is going to happen. I say that you have to let it play out. You have to give people a chance. Even though you know they are not worth a shit.

For example a vendor calls up and says we have to get in an order or they will cancel it. I say I want to hold it for a week. He emails me back that their policy is that they have to ship it when it's ready. I say my window is until November 15th and if I take it on the 14th I am within my rights. But if they feel they have to cancel it, why knock yourself out because I don't care. I can always replace the stuff because if I want to buy someone will sell to me. Sure enough he said, hey no problem. I didn't think so. But the wife took it personally. I said don't do that. The guy is just a salesman and he has to answer to his boss. In fact I told him not to worry, if his boss gives him shit, have the boss call me and I would be happy to give him shit right back. So it all worked out.

But if you say you don't give a shit, you have to mean it.
