[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.]

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

Doctor Wilson...are you feeling well?

[intheblanks]

Did you throw hot coffee at someone?

[boutant]

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

[terrestrial]

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

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

[anunluckypenny]

Wilson?

...Are you possessed or something?

[duplicities]

Well, this is unexpected.

[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.

[dr_conscience]

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

[dr_conscience]

Oh, relax. It wasn't that hot.

[dr_conscience]

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

[intheblanks]

Maybe I emphasised the wrong words.

[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.

[dr_conscience]

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

[dr_conscience]

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

[dr_conscience]

What then, that I did it?

[minigolfandsushi]

Here here! Well said, sir!

[intheblanks]

Either that or that you're willing to admit to it.

No, actually, the latter is less surprising.

[dr_conscience]

Astonishingly, I do get sick of being treated like a doormat.

[intheblanks]

I know. [Wilson, he really does.] I didn't think moving your chair would make you act on it.

[boutant]

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

[voice]

[as_damaged]

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

[anunluckypenny]

I'm sure there're ways to stand up for yourself that don't involve dumping hot coffee on people.

[duplicities]

Unexpected in your case.

[terrestrial]

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