Because they are not sitting across the table from me every night (and because they left for college before I was done imparting my knowledge), here are the nightly bits of wisdom you received at the dinner table.

Karma Courtesy

Another True Story.

I am walking up to a public bathroom and there is an older hispanic lady who is pushing the cleaning cart and heading there.  I am trying to beat her there, because I need to go and don't want to walk across the place to get to another bathroom.  I get there just ahead this other guy and I ask the lady if it is OK if I use the bathroom.  The cleaning lady is in her 60's and looks tired.  She smiles and says "Go, OK".

Me and the other guy go in.  I relieve myself at the urinal and this other frigging guy heads to the stall and proceeds to drop a monster deuce.  I wanted to kick his ass.  Making a tough job unpleasant for the sake of anyone's convenience is on my list of appalling things to do.  That she extended the courtesy to let us both in, makes it even worse. 

Old school rules apply her.  Extend basic, good courtesies to the people who have the crappy jobs that make your life more comfortable and bearable.  Aside from just being the right thing to do, it is also a Karma thing.

Cause and effect, never ever be the guy who drops a deuce that the cleaning lady will have to endure.  If you do, you will not be able to escape your turn cleaning things up in a place/room that smells like shit.
