Straight Up

I've known a lot of people in my life that would tell you to kiss their ass in a heartbeat.. What got me ta thinkin bout this, is that recently several friends have had situations they werent sure of how to handle.. They asked for advice and got several different types of solutions.. Come to find out, the old straight forward approach worked for them.. I'll be damned !! Whod a thunk it.. They told the offender that what they were doin was pissin them off and that it needed to be stopped or that it needed to be fixed.. I think these folks gained some self respect for doing this, this way.. I know I respect em more for it.. Of course, they are pretty stand-up people anyway..
