Just a silly note here, I enjoyed the post. your describing these people as DIPs reminded me of my favorite Bloom County cartoon.Binkley, Opus with beautific smiles on their faces & a grumpy looking Dad in the front seat driving in a car. A word bubble over each of their heads – “A boy and his panguin,” A penguin and his Boy,” and over the dad’s head “two DIPS and a Dad!” Always made me laugh. Binkley and Opus had that grace )most of the time, the dad was really the ‘DIP.’

Deb, it’s so easy to forget how rude we can be without thinking … even the nicest of us can slip up without meaning to. It’s the people who go through their day regularly being thoughtless that get under my skin (grin).

Thanks, Susan. DIPs was the perfect acronym!

And, yes, what is WITH the politicians and celebrities lately??

I agree with you and I agree with Melissa. Politicians and commentators needs lessons in civility. What has happened to simple respect for the Presidential office? If you don’t like him/her, vote them out, but please accord them the courtesy of respecting the office itself.

And drivers? I live in Houston, by circumstance, not by choice. Every day is a misadventure on the freeways. I come into town from the north where the cowboys in their big pick-ups rule the road. Horrendous! I love the term “DIP”. Fits the drivers here perfectly.

George–just because DIPs can be annoying doesn’t mean I have to sink to their level, right? (grin)

Deb,

I just love this post. You hit the DIPs right on the head

I also like the positive finish – speaks to the kind of person you are.

Cheers
