It would only be fitting that I end my blogs with an episode of Seinfeld. This episode was actually on a week ago but I am sure that I remember enough to make this blog credible. In this episode, Jerry is visiting his parents in Florida. They live in a condominium surrounded by old people. News travels fast in this small, elderly community though.
Jerry is minding his business in the kitchen when Jack walks in. Jack is a friend of Jerry's parents and is around the age of sixty. He barges in with his wife and begins to write something on a piece of paper. Jerry asks him if that is the pen that writes upside down and Jack boastfully replies yes. Jerry compliments him on that pen and tells him he's heard a lot about it. Jack seems like a nice guy because he insists that Jerry take the pen. Boy, what a mistake that was. His wife sees this go on and as soon as they leave tells everyone about Jack's generosity and completely twists the story around to make it look like Jerry made Jack take the pen.
Once again, this sounds so small but everyone can relate to such a thing. It's called creating drama by being a busy body. Jack was not at fault and neither was Jerry. Jack was simply being nice and giving Jerry a pen that Jerry appreciated more than Jack. The problem was his wife spreading the word and making Jerry look bad. Next time, you are given something, look to see who is around you. It's often hard to recognize who will vent this situation to another individual and twist the story around to make you look bad. Be careful and always learn about the little situations from Seinfeld.
