Vin, your comment literally made me laugh out loud… I love it!
Us Flintstones take no bullshit either! I may be a country hick now, but it’s something I had to learn; I wasn’t born that way. I too have the Mediterranean temperament and I just cannot let shit go!
You can take the girl outta Flint, but ya can’t take Flint outta the girl 😉
Similar experience when I arrived in NM. I had to learn to modulate my approach to bullshitters because folks took immediate offense to my direct manner, which they described to management as aggressive. Poor pampered babies, I thought, while learning to get along for the sake of better cooperative working conditions. "Sorry, it's just my NYC style," I'd apologize. But I was always a bit resentful that they couldn't distinguish directness from aggression. Ultimately, a good lesson for me in the age-old truth that resentment is the poison we drink expecting the other person to die.
