Situation Monday

We’ve all been there before.  Your best friend calls, you pick it up, and the sweet melody of pocket lint rubbing the phone receiver responds.  You say hello again.  More pocket lint.  You hear random noises in the background (horns blowing, toilets flushing, babies crying, etc).  It dawns on you that you’ve been called by mistake.  No biggie, it happens to everybody.

Imagine yourself in this situation again with a small twist.  This time there is a seemingly harmless conversation is going on.  Your first instinct is to hang up.  As you reach for the red button you hear your name.  With ears wide open you begin to listen to the conversation.  15 seconds in you realize that 3 of your best friends are dragging you through the mud.

In 3 minutes you learn that:

• Your mom is ugly
• You’re annoying
• You’re not going to ever see that $100 that Jerry owes you
• You suck at everything else.

10 minutes prior to this you counted these scud suckers as your best friends.  What would you do?
