In this excercise, you are presented with a number of situations which you might encounter in a routine day. Your task is to first write down one or more examples of unenlightened responses. Then, you will carefully formulate a translation for these responses from the perspective of an enlightened human being (oh who am I kidding).
EXAMPLE: SITUATION 1
As you are bending over to pick up something on the floor, you feel a hand on your derriere. When you turn, you see one of the individuals in your area standing there wearing a big grin.
UNENLIGHTENED RESPONSES
Touch my butt again and you'll be wearing that smile on the other side of your head.
TRANSLATION
I don't like it when you touch me like that. We can shake hands if you like.
Now you try...
SITUATION 2
[i]A person in your area persists on standing 1 foot away from you spraying saliva while they are talking
SITUATION 3
You catch someone taking pencils from your desk drawer
SITUATION 4
Someone is rapidly shoveling food into his mouth, dropping it all over the table, floor, and his clothes.
SITUATION 5
An individual in your area appears to be agitated, talking loudly, incomprehensibly, and disrupting the activity of others.
I had some laughs doing this at a recent SCIP training at my job. I figured you sarcastic bastards would make some great unenlightened responses.
