I'm not putting you down!
I'm saying you have a different style then I do!
When I started in this industry 27 years ago. The first job I was on I worked for an (what I would call) old school mechanic. A mean son of a gun! I felt like everything I would do was wrong. Finally at one point he turned to me and asked for a 9/16" box wrench. I pulled it out of his bag and handed it to him! He went to use the wrench and it was too big! He turned to me threw the wrench and it hit me in the chest. He then told me he said a 1/2" box wrench. I picked up the 9/16 put it back where it belonged in his bag. I pull the 1/2" and threw it back at him. I told him at the end of the day one of two things were going to happen! He was either going to apologize willingly or I would beat it out of him!
The next day I was called into the office. I was asked what happened so I gave my side of the story. Thinking this was my last day. The boss told me that he was a great mechanic and I could learn a lot from him. To this day we are still friends and I'm glad I gave it another chance.
My point is this I'm not thin skinned! And if I find someone else's personality to be different to mine. I don't get offended and dismiss them!
