I Feel Dirty

[dolek]

If the friend is seriously getting under your skin maybe just fade away from the whole thing . Most true friends finally come to realize they are irritating if you give them a chance to think about what they are doing . I have faded away many times through my life , a couple times I did not and things got ugly....I regret the ugly ones .

Reminds me of my old job as a freelance web guy. Clients would want to not hire a graphic designer, not spring for quality photographs, use the cheapest hosting, not bother writing good copy, etc. The first thing I tell a new client is how important all that stuff is. Some listen. Some don’t. The difference in the final quality is night and day.

As a result, I have built some websites that I would never put my name on. It feels dirty to me but it’s what they wanted and asked for. Glad to be done with that business. I hated making low quality stuff even if it was what the customer wanted.

I felt the same way when I bought a Glock.

Another lifetime ago I worked in a gun shop and very regularly people would drop several hundreds on a new high end Remington or Browning (FN) rifle. So we’d ask them if they wished to buy a scope and our gunsmith would mount it and boresight it free. So we’d offer and show them Redfields and Leupolds usually a 3-9. Then they would purchase a Bushnell Banner 2-7 scope. Eventually we quit showing them the good stuff and just asked them what they wanted.

Hahaahaha, oh my. That was a creative solution! That base isn't coming loose without you noticing that is for sure!
