Do you tend to think that many things "go without saying"? I do...

  MY QUESTION IS THIS: Doesn't it go without saying that it's thoughtless, even unkind, to leave the family in the car like this, standing in the parking lot shooting the breeze with an equally thoughtless person? The conversation was jocular, so it didn't seem like some serious matter needing immediate attention. And even if it was serious, shouldn't they have had a little consideration for the family? Is it not blatantly OBVIOUS?

  First of all, Paisley, welcome to the board, as I have not seen you post until today.

  Second of all, you are 1000% right.

  I say, Say something. Communication is the lube that makes for less friction. He could also feel 'it goes without saying' that if you were bothered...you would SAY something. Just MHO.

  It goes without saying, that I did tell him.

  Consideration of others should be a no-brainer, but unfortunately there will always be people (men AND women, and especially JWs) who just don't get it. I call them 2x4 people, because the only way to get them to understand anything is to hit them (metaphorically) with a 2x4. Subtle hints just won't get the job done.
