Sometimes You Have to be An Ass - Part Two
I was living at an apartment community and although I could not be classified as a certified teaching pro, I mentioned to the property management that I would be glad to assist anyone wishing to learn how to play tennis. No big deal - I was willing to charge a measly $20 to $30 dollars an hour.
I also took the opportunity to assist the community staff with establishing a schedule for the tennis court as we only had one. The court was in great condition and had somewhat of a covered patio, much like a gazebo, which is rare for most any individual court.
I scheduled a court time with and a friend and we headed to the court to work on her game as she had just taken up the sport.
We arrive and I see this guy and girl on the court. I waited until they finished a game and asked, as I usually would, "Are you near finishing your match? “No", was his reply." This crappy little attitude came pouring through as if I had asked him something totally abhorrent.

Agree, sometimes you have to act like an ass or there will be someone else who will act this way to you. Thank you for sharing your story.
