Somebody else's rule, but too true:
If someone acts sensitive and courteous toward you but is abusive to the waiter -- someone who's within their power -- he's not a nice person. Or, to put it precisely, a person with "situational ethics."
It took me years to figure that one out on my own.
I'll agree with Jackebear's grandad. True friends are few and far between. You're doing well if you've got one, very fortunate if you've got two, and insanely lucky (or a damned good person) if you've got three.
