Meeting Tuesday 5th August

We discussed the following, except for item 8 and 10 !

Assertiveness

1. You arrive at a blind street corner at the same time as someone else and bump into them.

2.You’re in a queue and someone you know and like/ know but don’t like /don’t know pushes in front without reason

They give a reason that they’re in a hurry

3. You’re at a good restaurant and are served a leg of chicken that isn’t fully cooked – still pink – refuses to come off the bone

4. Travelling on a train, sleeping on a seat with another complete stranger on the other seat in the dark.
You wakeup to glimpse the stranger standing up against the window using passing lights to peer at what looks like your wallet which you had hidden under your pillow

5. You return home to find that the shirt, you’ve just bought has four buttons missing.

6. Someone is sitting in the train window seat that you had booked .
When asked to move they ignore you and look straight through you as though you’re invisible. When asked to move point out that there are lots of other window seats available. and two of your friends are trying to walk down the street through the middle of them.

7. At lunch time, school children aged 13/14 are congregating in Upper Brook Street, flicking chips across the street in a mock fight when you and two of your friends are trying to walk down the street through the middle of them.

8. You go to the cinema alone to enjoy a film that you particularly want to see.
Someone heads for the seat next to you with a massive tub of pop corn.
They ask politely whether the seat next to you is taken. . . .

9. Is this philosophy?

10. Does it matter?
