 People are soooo negative these days, and I firmly believe negativity breeds negativity.  I have worked with, and for Bs, and grew up with one for a mother (but who also suffers from mental illness), which makes me wonder do these women not have a personality disorder.  Interestingly enough, they display characteristics of a histrionic personality, or narcisstic personality, or borderline personality.  I recognize, too, some people are just plain m-e-a-n.  My husband has spoiled me with a nice car, and one of my favorite features is a sunscreen across the rear window.  I can push a button and it raises itself to cover the whole window.  Drivers like Kristine become NO problem -- I don't have to suffer with their rudeness and gestures.  The looks on their faces when I raise the screen is priceless.

I agree with you, that if you are mindful of others -- isn't that the Golden Rule we used to recite in school? -- you get just about anything you want/need.  I have worked with "bitchy" administrators (men, too, as a matter-of-fact) who couldn't pay me enough to get a job done, whereas, had I been treated with respect and/or just simple human decency, whatever, I'd have killed myself in an attempt to get the job done.  I've contended I want to go to business/education school and take the courses that teach people mishandling, abusive practices such as "shi**# - memo writing, threats and harrassment.  I've worked with plenty in an administrative position who I'd swear learned it somewhere!
