Etiquette Lesson #3

K...I have a secret to share.

I shouldn't say anything, I told them I wouldn't tell anyone, but I'm going to tell you guys anyway, but you have to PROMISE not to tell anybody else.

P.R.O.M.I.S.E.???

SSSSSHHHHHHH...

I HATE when people say that to me. no really...I DO!

Don't TELL me if you don't want me to tell anybody else...and DON'T be hypocritical by telling ME and then telling ME not to tell someone else!

Because then I have some random weight put on my puny shoulders and JUST because you told me NOT to tell someone...I'm itching to TELL someone!

So here is etiquette lesson #3.

At least I think we are on number 3.

Only say, "I'm not suppose to tell anyone" ONLY if you actually want that person to TELL someone.

You got it?

It's kinda upside down and sideways...but once you grasp on to this form of etiquette your life will be forever less dramafide.

It took me a while to latch on to this concept...

So it's only natural that when YOU are approached with these words, "I'm not suppose to tell, so don't tell anyone else"...that translates into, "Please go to the nearest TV station and announce my secret to the world for everyone to hear."

Your. Welcome.

It's only natural that I share my wisdom.

Thanks Anonymous who wrote: "When someone tells you a secret that THEY weren't suppose to share anyway, and then asks you not to tell anyone...should you listen, should you ask them not to tell you...what is the Social Etiquette when it comes to that?"

So what do YOU guys think? I mean...I think I pretty much ACED that test, but I'm curious to know how YOU would handle the situation?

P.S. This post is DRIPPING with sarcasm...but I shouldn't have to say that if I was any good at writing would I? lol!

I'm also dishing about a disagreement with MountainSport Man and I at The Real World Venus vs. Mars and it involves a toilet seat...are you surprised? Didn't think so! :)

Love,
