The other evening a bunch of us were sitting around chatting about the “rule breakers” on the roads… you all know about the people who go through red lights, ignore stop streets and treat solid white lines as extended dotted lines…. And what seemed to be the absolute favourite, the people who just don’t let you into the traffic getting onto a motorway – yeah, go figure.
And then the conversation turned to the alarming number of people who don’t have number plates on their cars…. Either front or back or none at all!!!! The main reason for this little trend is to avoid being caught in the speed cameras… I am not sure why they don’t just paint a middle finger pointing skywards in space where the number should be.
I know a couple of people who don’t have number plates and when I raised this with them they just laugh and change the subject. I kinda feel a bit iffy and miffy about this – they are breaking the law and proud of it.
So this is where our conversation led to….how do you like doing business with a person like this? He/she blatantly disregards the “rules” including the speed limit? So how much other dishonest stuff does this guy/gal do?
And then the chat went further and these things were raised:
How much do you trust your business partner/colleague who cheats on his tax? (and don’t say everyone does *grin*)
How much do you trust your business partner/colleague who cheats on his/her life partner? You might have even heard them rattling off a whopping great lie to the person waiting at home.
How much do you trust your business partner/colleague who claims all sorts of stuff on his householders insurance that he didn’t have?
How much do you trust your business partner/colleague who can get you really cheap electronic equipment through a contact who knows about stuff falling off a truck?
This list could be endless. But it makes one think doesn’t it.
