Oh, I don't know. Horses' asses too cowardly to tell you what's wrong until you chase them down for an answer? Relatives who insist that since they are never wrong, you must be the one eternally mistaken? Parents who refuse to discuss anything with you as a fellow adult unless it's to tell you what they want, and fuck-all what you think about it? Co-workers who withhold information that you NEED until either (a) the last minute or (b) you think to ask them about it, in the name of playing games, rather than producing the best possible work product?

There are a lot of places this could've come from this year. As I get closer to 2010, I review my year and can't help but notice every goddamn problem that's arisen has come from a lack of honesty when it would have mattered. (No, not with you or anyone on my f-list.)
