You’re not fooling anyone.
They all know exactly what you’re saying.
Even though you’re not actually saying it.
We work in a terribly polite world.
Everyone’s always happy to help.
“No bother, really, of course I don’t mind, not at all.”
At least that’s what they say.
Sometimes, their true meaning slips out.
And everyone can feel it.
There’s no point being passive aggressive,
it just makes it look as though you don’t have the courage of your convictions.
If something’s frustrating you, get it off your chest.
Don’t dip it in sugar and hope that it’ll seem sweet.
The bitterness always cuts through.
