I Like People Who Say What They Mean And Mean What They Say

Why Is This So Hard For People To Do?... this is absolutely one of my worst pet peeves..are people afraid to take a stand?  Are they afraid to own their own opinion? Are they afraid of rejection or what?  well this is what I need

Speak in clear and concise language...
skip the drama and the rhetoric
Stop the 5000 words when 50 will do.
Use action verbs and a subject like I want, I think, I need
so what if I don't agree?  You are entitled to your opinion and I mine
don't leave me guessing to fill in the blanks.  I guarantee you I will interpret what you say to my advantage and it is probably going to be wrong.
Dont' be so ambiguous I am left guessing to the real intention
Don't let me stumble around, groping in the dark only to realize I am dead wrong
I speak English, clear and concise language.  i go straight to the topic and keep on the subject.

Ask anyone who knows me..they don't ask for my opinion or advice unless they want hard facts.  i give my opinion and then back it up with reasons..I don't beat around the bush but I also don't butt in without being asked.

I was talking to my friend yesterday, telling her about a situation.  I ended it with "I didn't make this up"  She said "you are one of the straightest shooters, I know and I know it is true...a true compliment to our friendship.

Must I reall tell you flat out what I want?I think that you know what I want. getting straight to the point all of the time may not work in certian circumstances. beating around the bush(LOL) and round abouts is sometimes better.
