My wife found this in her FB feed so I just had to share:)
"I know I shouldn’t have done this, but I am 83 years old and I was in the McDonald’s drive-through this morning and the young lady behind me leaned on her horn and started mouthing something because I was taking too long to place my order. So when I got to the first window I paid for her order along with my own. The cashier must have told her what I'd done because as we moved up she leaned out her window and waved to me and mouthed "Thank you.", obviously embarrassed that I had repaid her rudeness with kindness. When I got to the second window I showed them both receipts and took her food too. Now she has to go back to the end of the queue and start all over again, Don't blow your horn at old people, they have been around a long time.. "
At first I was "yah" but after I thought about it I agree with you. "You can attract more bees with honey" or "kill them with kindness". In the temporal world she really "showed her" but from a spiritual aspect this probably wasn't the right thing to do. Maybe the older lady is not a Christian so she didn't have that point of reference. Nonetheless it was a pretty ingenious way to get back at somebody. Nowadays you have to be more careful with strangers.
I believe the saying is "You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar". You can catch even more with manure, and it makes me wonder why you want to catch flies. Just sayin'
Yeah, who would want flies...or bees. Sometimes sayings don't make all that much sense...especially when you get them wrong.
That's what I've been trying to figure out since the first time I heard that expression. What will I be needing those flies for? 😂😂
Pepe?
😂
For dinner?
Yep. "owning people" < "owning their bad behavior"
