“If you can’t say anything nice, then say nothing at all”

Ever met anyone who can’t seem to say anything nice about someone else?  Or the person who can always do it better than the person who’s actually doing it?  Ever heard someone say, “why would you do that when you should do this?” 

I had someone tell me the other day that “they can purchase my Berryhill Bacon at the Boise Co-Op”, since that’s “where they knew I bought it”.  They went on to inform me that “it was not my recipe but another chef ‘s” (who just happens to be a former employee and friend, and now owns his own very successful restaurant).  Why were they dissin me and my bacon?  I have no idea.  Their comments just came out of nowhere.  I figured it out though when they started in dissin  the other chef they just used to dis me!   I couldn’t believe it!  I’m not sure why some people feel they have to dis the guy that’s always doing something.  Apparently they (the dissers) never do anything, so they (the dissers) have always got the time to dis.  That’s just how they roll I (the dissee)  guess.

“If you can’t say anything nice, then say nothing at all,” Jackie Gibson used to say.  By the way, you can only purchase Berryhill Bacon from my restaurant…and it is my recipe.

    It is, indeed, unfortunate that in order for some people to feel big, they need to make others feel small. However, the good news is that while they’re making enemies, you’re makin’ bacon!
