Social Skills Tip of the Day

When you are talking to someone and suddenly notice that they have a large hairy mole on their neck or some other oddity in the facial area, do NOT stare at it, or comment on it, or crack jokes about it, no matter how badly you want to do this. The other person will not be happy about your attention to their flaws, even if you are a plastic surgeon.

  1. Ok agreed. But what if the distracting item is a hickey on the neck of the only recently divorced husband of your friend and you are sitting next to her a your kid's sports event???

  2. Hmmm. That would be pretty distracting! I would probably have to at least surreptiously take a picture of it and text all my friends about it...

I welcome comments, but reserve the right to correct your spelling because I am OCD about it!
