Nudge

There is a barely perceptible force being placed on us when it comes to penalising poor driving.  When dash cam footage shows some pretty poor driving on social media, it has almost become the norm for someone (perhaps more than one) to ask the question: "Have you reported that to the Police?"

Serves you right for uploading it one could say.  It's an interesting little 'nudge' that is developing.  Society self-regulates by way of independently recording and then as the need arises send it digitally to the police - who needs traffic police?  This link here might be of benefit if you find yourself interested in these matters.


It is becoming the norm now to crowdfund where friends ask very politely for you to donate to their given cause; it need not be charitable it can be literally anything.  Good luck with any notion of declining!


When a chap came around ours to supposedly give a quote for some work in the house, it was masterfully handled to not be a question of price; instead, the obstacle was when he could fit us in.

PDI's don't get invited to share their prior driving or teaching experiences to adapt the duration of their driving instructor training hours; there is no possibility that the fixed hours the provider thrusts upon the unfortunate PDI will not all be required.

My business experiences this in reverse where the consumer is placing clear expectations of results (namely the passing of the driving test) regardless of their previous driving experience.  

Both of those last two examples are equally objectionable as far as I can see; either of the two parties involved is being reckless about the task in hand.
