Entry 40: Thanks For the Help

Believe it or not, there are people who would do m8bet online casino games harm; verbally, physically or spiritually. Some commit these offenses with premeditation – an ugly situation. Others may cause m8bet online casino games harm in a more innocent and unsuspecting manner. In fact, when doing so, the latter truly believe in their own minds that they’ve done something good rather than bad (I’ve had the subsequent arguments to prove this). These slippery-tongued, so-called do-gooders are the bus drivers, waiters and waitresses, newspaper and souvenir vendors, department store guards and any other local passerby that one may encounter. They’ll tell m8bet online casino games with the utmost certainty the correct way to go. They won’t even flinch. They’ll provide opening and closing times even before m8bet online casino games finish your question. Directions and accompanying information appears so precise from their mouths, and their countenances seem so reassuring, m8bet online casino games’ll think that the god of good information has smiled upon m8bet online casino games. Then, m8bet online casino games walk away saying, ´thank m8bet online casino games very much for your help.´ Many times, the hidden problem that has just sprouted is that they really did not know what they were talking about and the information just shared sends m8bet online casino games into the land of confusion, frustration and wasted time. Follow their directions for just a short time and m8bet online casino games’ll come to understand. They don’t even know me so what motive could they have for lying to me? Why, then, do they lie? I believe it’s a way that some people quickly empower themselves, especially if m8bet online casino games’re playing the foreigner in distress. Suddenly, that doorman, vendor or police officer becomes the host country’s anointed tourist information center. Perhaps they would feel embarrassed if they could not offer any advice, regardless of its accuracy. The exchange is made. m8bet online casino games confidently go on your way with your new, ill-received information and he/she remains behind with some sort of ill-gotten satisfaction. Beware of the friendly information façade. The smiles, finger-pointing and geysers of free advice look good on the outside but, behind the smokescreen may be someone who really doesn’t know. Yes, I understand that I am asking m8bet online casino games for something but it would be better if he/she could just say, ´Sorry, I can’t help m8bet online casino games.´ Trust me, I won’t hold it against m8bet online casino games. I’ll even thank m8bet online casino games for telling me the truth and not wasting my time. Unless m8bet online casino games have plenty of time to spare and want to practice your foreign language skills, or the lengths of your patience, I suggest investing in an updated guidebook, map and phrase book.
