It’s North vs South in personality wars. (The West? Not so much)

Web Watch was having a conversation the other day about what it was like to conduct business – sales, really – in various parts of the country.

One of our friends chimed in that there is a distinct difference between business styles when he visits New York and other northern locales compared to when he travels to the south.  In the south things are more relaxed, personal, and a bit slower paced. People tend to care about people first, then they’ll get down to business.

Visits out to the West?  Those, he said, were full of feel-good, granola folks.

How much pee does an elephant hold?

Different animals can pee different amounts.

College-aged fraternity guys have been known to “pee like a race horse” after (or during) some beer events at the house.

Let’s think about that phrase for a moment — does it mean you’re peeing as much as a racehorse would?  Are you peeing in the same manner that a horse does?  Or are you merely peeing while running around a track?

Language – it’s so complicated.

Men still don’t wash their hands in the office bathroom

Office bathrooms are usually a stinky, awful mess.

You have any number of people who don’t wipe down counters, pick up paper towels off the floor.  And is there really a need in an adult environment to have to post a sign that says, “do not flush paper towels, they will clog the toilet”?  How many people are really doing this?  Who’s taking paper towels into the toilet stall in the first place?  Are they really that much more comfortable than the typical office toilet paper to use?  Really?  REALLY?

Dogs are welcoming our robot overlords

Remember when Web Watch told you about how dogs prefer to eat human food?  Or, at the very least, they prefer to eat food that their human shows them is good to eat?

It ends up that dogs really are more aware of the people around them than we give them credit for. Perhaps the “man’s best friend” term really isn’t just a phrase, but something true and real.
