It just boils down to the fact that Nigerians in general lack the skills of persuasion and negotiation, and are seriously lacking in patience, hence the reason they want to ram their opinion down your throat in an uncouth manner It's either "their way" or "the highway" for them

Common sense is lacking among some people on NL

Some people find it hard to take criticism on board

Some are just plain clueless

Some dont respect the fact that everyone is entitled to their opinion(s)

Maturity is another problem amongst nairalanders!

The answer you're looking for is inside the glass.

Question: Is the glass half empty or half full (see pic attached).

All I know is that I can see a glass with water in it. The rest actually depends on my expectations. If on a given day, I expect someone to bring me an empty glass, so I could go & get some water by all by myself, and then the person comes to me with not only a glass but some water in it. Then I'll say the glass is half full and the implication is that the person has done me some favor by putting water into the glass. If on the other hand I actually go ahead to pay someone to get me a glass of water on a very hot afternoon and the person returns to me after some time to give me a glass that is half empty, of course I wouldn't be pleased with such a person cos what I expected was a glass full of water! Nothing more, nothing less!

So like I said, it depends on the expectations! Half bread they say, is better than none!. . . and then if the bread is bad;what do you do??
