Could they be looking at a reflection of themselves?

By

 Could they be looking at a reflection of themselves?

 I am working on this huge construction project and there a bunch of men always looking around to see what others are doing!

 Looking around to see if others are working, talking, or just plain doing nothing.

 Could they be looking at a reflection of themselves?

 It has always irritated me when men working are so concerned about what others are doing. And I am talking about plain workers, not bosses.

 Here is what I say about to these individuals if they approach me with the question "What are you doing"?

 Shouldn't you be working instead of worrying what others are doing!

 When you start signing my check then you can start worrying about what I'm doing!

 Who wants to know?

 

 I really believe that if everyone just does the job that their assigned to do and stop worrying about what others are doing, more work will get done!

 And when they always looking to see what others are doing ...........

 Could they be looking at a reflection of themselves?

Hi Vegas Bob-Some folks are just too noisy for their own good. I always tell people that ask me, that I am playing tiddly winks with man hole covers or what are you doing writing a book and if you are leave my chapter out. That always ends that question in a hurry. <SMILE>

Is that human nature or what?  But what you say is true.  People should be concerned about what they do and not what the other guy is doing.
