[nagdu] Retaliation? was: I need some advice/help

[Tracy Carcione]

Hmmm.  I guess I care a bit that the waitress at my local diner thinks
well of me, but, if she brings me cold food, or my fork is dirty, I'll
still say something.
But I guess there have been times my vet has not listened to me, and I've
just tried saying it a different way a couple times, then given up.  But I
don't think it was because I was afraid he'd think badly of me. It was
more like getting tired of talking to a brick wall.

But I guess I'm just not a huge respecter of authority, just because its
tagged as authority.
