The Definition of Bad Taste

| No Comments

One of the worst feelings is when you do someone a favor -- like getting them a paying gig -- and they then betray you by complaining on their blog about the very work you got them.

That sort of behavior is: The Definition of Bad Taste.

If you don't like the job or appreciate the favor, that's fine, but keep it to yourself. 

No one wants to read about ungrateful complaining on a public blog. 

Whine to your friends and bad-mouth -- if you must -- those who do you favors... out of earshot and eyeshot!

A former beloved professor of mine in graduate school was found of saying this about that sort of betrayer:  "I will do nothing to hurt you; but I will also do nothing to help you."
