This thread is for Virgo-types everywhere (you don't have to be a Virgo to be anal).
What are some human behaviours/affectations/gaffs, etc. that make you squirm, purse your lips, clench your fists, etc.?
Here's my kickoff . . . the terms "dealbreaker" & "showstopper" are not interchangeable, despite widespread notions to the contrary.
A "dealbreaker" is simply an optional component of a flexible process. The "deal" can always be modified to arrive at a mutually agreeable resolution.
A "showstopper" is an immutable component of an inflexible process. The "show" cannot proceed under any circumstance.
So there! :)
