You know they exist. You know at least one of them. I am unfortunate enough to know at least TWO. Which is WAY too much if you ask me. No matter what you say or how positive you try to make a situation...BAM they find one phrase, one word or one blasted negative thought to make you feel like the biggest meanest lightning storm shut out the most beautiful, sunshiny day. UHG! I hate them. Not them...just their attitude. But REALLY?!
So, this is my plea to you. The next time you decide to open your mouth because you want to be matter-of-factly or you want to complain about someone you just helped over the phone (clearly forgetting that you work in the CUSTOMER SERVICE business) just stop. Count to ten and think about the Negative Nancy people may peg you as and how you might lose friends. Think about how much of a Johnny Raincloud you're going to morph into.
Nobody likes a Debbie Downer.
Especially me.
