Should People Come with Warning Labels?
Can you imagine if people announced their hidden agendas or quirks before you grew to know them better?
Think about the time each of us would save in our lives. We would know from the start whether we wanted to date someone, spend time with a coworker, or vote for the politician with all the fancy promises.
When we walk by any electrical grid we see sign after sign reading "achtung" and "danger." It would be helpful to have labels for people to warn us of the potential pitfalls and conundrums that may await.
This sounds silly, and it is. But, I have a wish list that could be implemented in a few short weeks for our convenience.
Warning label wish list
1- Nascar jumpsuits for politicians.
For anyone that has ever watched a Nascar interview, you know how hilarious it is to hear the drivers rush through all their sponsors. Wouldn't it be magical if politicians had the same thought process or even wore jumpsuits with all their sponsors?
Think of the time we could devote to our families, instead of listening to hours of debates during election season. Can you imagine how quickly certain people would have to leave congress because we knew who paid for their campaigns?
I can see the congressional meetings now on C-Span with the senator from New York wearing a customized mafia logo on his chest. What about the representative from North Carolina sporting a fancy new suit coat with a Bank of America logo stitched around his arm sleeve?
This could work, right?
2- Hidden agendas included with every name tag.
We have all met that individual at a networking meeting or a social event that is not entirely forthcoming. There is something about them that reeks but we have a hard time putting a finger on it.
Our problem is solved when we see what they truly want right on their name tag.
Mr "I have products to sell you at whatever cost it takes" is easily avoided and dispensed with.
Mrs "My goal is to seduce you and make you think you're cute" can be politely smiled at and then left on her own.
That guy who walks in looking all dapper but has "I look good but I'd rather crawl over your dead body than not have what I want" under his name - you can avoid him and save yourself a world of hurt by walking the other way.
3- Family members and potential spouses have their true character tattooed on their backside.
It would be unfair for "spends like Paris Hilton" or "mamma's boy" to be plastered on the forehead of any woman or man. But, it would be helpful for people to know the demeanor of their future spouse. I mean, you are going to see that booty eventually anyway.
Imagine if your first date with that cute guy was going well, and then you saw the sign "Cheater" or "my first priority is my career." Girl, call your friend and cash in that rescue favor.
Fellas, when grandma approaches you and starts asking you about your future plans, and then you see "I have this adorable girl for you, and I know you'll make great grandbabies with her so hurry up sonny." Would that not make time at your grandparents MUCH more simple?
Maybe you have a few ideas for warning lables. Please include them in the comments and we'll start working on the patent together. We could help so many people.

ah, but there are some people who hang out a "Wet Paint! Don't Touch" sign who are really nice individuals but are convinced they have nothing to offer and/or they are too high maintenance. The way I see it, I'm open for business both giving and receiving and if we click, that's BONUS. Did I say we have to laugh at ourselves ( a lot) and smile kindly at others? That's why a wise man learns that proverbs are after-thoughts - you have to test to see if the paint is really wet :)
BTW, lay off posting your best stuff, like this post, for a few days until the effects of the hardfork settle down :)
Lol! Proverbs are after-thoughts. That is funny. Thanks for the heads up about the hardfork effects. I kept looking for your post today and didn't see it. :)
yeah, it hurts too much to see 150 plus votes and two or 3 cents for a reward - I feel devalued. I'll just stay away until things come back. It seems counter intuitive when you've built a follower base relying on rewards and then pull those away and tell people they'll have to wait 30 days for it to come back to a new normal that is lower in rewards then what they had before. Funny though, certain key peeps who always earn high rewards don't seem to be affected. We'll see....

Haha, yes! 😄
Great article, love the politician part. On a more personal note; sort of sounds like you had a run in with a narcissist girlfriend.
Thank you. The politician one is my favorite. No, I have had good dating experiences. The narcissistic girlfriend seemed like a good fit for an example.
