Be nice, it confuses people

Who was it who said "Be nice, it confuses people"? I remember it being the title of a music album.

Anyway. In my part of the office there are two air-cons. One day only one of them was switched on. My colleague, whose seat was more in the direction of the other air-con, remarked, "Isn't this air-con switched on? No wonder it's feeling a little stuffy today!" I didn't feel it because my seat was directly in the air flow of the first air-con (the one that was switched on), and I said so.

Now his seat is in a corner...whereas I was right at the entrance (bad seat! Everyone sees you when they walk past. And your PC screen, especially. :P ) So I went off to get the air-con remote control, to switch it on. (also because I wasn't in the middle of anything especially urgent) Oh yeah, this is where I should explain that the remote control is shared with another part of the office.

As I walked off, he said something...I guess he was going to say that he would go himself (since he was the one feeling hot). But seeing that I was already halfway to the remote control (it's not really that far away...6 metres, maybe?) when I turned around, he said, "Ok ok, you go..."

And when I came back with the remote control, he said that after switching on the air-con he would go and put it back. Haha...


A search found me the album I was talking about...it's actually Smile... It Confuses People and it's by Sandi Thom. I think I've only heard one of her songs...when I was in France listening to UK radio: I wish I was a punk rocker. (oh, I miss listening to that, there are some gems to discover, like this other song by Mumford and Sons that I will embed below)  I quite like it... so here it is. (the music video is blocked in Malaysia, so here's a lyric video)



And here is Mumford and Sons' The Cave.
