Exercise #47

Exercise #47: Self Knowledge
Posted 3/19/04
 

Find an irritation this week. Somebody schedules a meeting during your lunch hour at work, or cuts you off in traffic, or leaves their shopping cart in line but goes back for milk. Anything which gives you minor or major irritation.

Got it?

Optional: write a very brief summary of the event from your POV which shows us the irritation. This is not included in the word count for your SUB, but do please keep it short.

Now write a SUB detailing the event which explains the other person's actions as understandable. Suddenly you're omniscient and understand, or you're them and it all comes clear. However you decide to do it, show us why they did what they did.

Word limit: 1200
Please use the subject line:
             SUB: Exercise #47/yourname
