[Wilson's voice does not sound quite right today. There's a bitter edge to it that isn't normally there - unless, of course, you're one of the very few people (probably, in fact, one person) who have witnessed him actually get angry enough to lose his filters. He's not really angry, though, just... irritated.]

Apparently, some of us in the City received special training in the advanced art of being an incredible ass. Not that this should come as a surprise to anyone, of course - certainly not to me, at any rate. But, for the record, there are a few basic codes of conduct that can be followed if you'd like to avoid being one of these incredible asses.

When someone holds a door open for you, say thank you. If you don't, and they decide to drop the door so that it hits you, it's really your own fault.

If you bump into someone on the street, say excuse me. If you don't, and they decide to trip you, that is also your own fault.

And if someone happens to be sitting at a cafe, reading over a patient file and enjoying their coffee, with their foot up on the unoccupied chair on the other side of the table, ask before you take the chair. Because if that person should decide that their hot coffee coming into contact with your skin would be an effective means of conveying their displeasure - I'm sure you can guess - it's your fault.

Bad ass? Please. People are throwing around anger management problems.

[Which appear to be contagious. As one such person by habit House feels slightly affronted with all of the biters.

Et tu Wilson?]

Or that could always be someone else's fault.

[House is not one to limp on egg shells around anyone. That means you too, Wilson.]

[dr_conscience]

I realize your ego may be confusing you because of how frequently I use the word when describing you, but "ass" is not a compliment in this context.

I'm just offering some advice to those who might want to avoid the repercussions of being said asses.

[vicodincrutch]

If you're trying to make people cry you'd have better luck with an onion and a knife in the equation.

Aren't we ornery.

[WORRY - that doesn't sound like the man he's spoken to before.]

Doctor Wilson...are you feeling well?

[dr_conscience]

Oh yes, just fine. Despite the rest of the City's best efforts.

[oceantrauma]

Has today gone badly?

[intheblanks]

Did you throw hot coffee at someone?

[dr_conscience]

Oh, relax. It wasn't that hot.

[intheblanks]

Maybe I emphasised the wrong words.

[boutant]

I know people who probably put that art on their resume.

[dr_conscience]

I wouldn't be surprised. The way people are acting, they're clearly extremely proud of their talents in the area.

[boutant]

It's not just rudeness, either. Some people are just being stupid.

[terrestrial]

Well said, Doctor Wilson. I couldn't agree more.

[ one of the many reasons she looks up to him. ]

[dr_conscience]

Why, thank you.

It really is amazing how many people seem to lack any basic comprehension of how to be a decent human being.

audio;

[terrestrial]

Pretty sad when those who aren't really human beings act more human than those who are.

[anunluckypenny]

Wilson?

...Are you possessed or something?

[dr_conscience]

Not at all. I've just had enough of people walking all over me.

[duplicities]

Well, this is unexpected.

[dr_conscience]

What, that people who are being rude should expect others to treat them the same? Shocking, I agree.

[minigolfandsushi]

Here here! Well said, sir!

voice;

[dr_conscience]

You'd think this sort of thing would go without saying.

[voice]

[as_damaged]

...Should I be expecting a rush of burn victims?

[voice]

[dr_conscience]

I already told Chase, it wasn't that hot. The guy's fine, he just got a taste of his own medicine.

[signatures]

Responding to one form of rudeness with another doesn't seem to be a good measure of fault, Jimmy.

[dr_conscience]

If people treat others a certain way, they should expect to be treated the same way in return.

[oh, and]

It's James.
