another open letter
Dear Law Students,
Yes, yes, I know, we all “think like lawyers.” But we are also PEOPLE, right? Nice, collegial people? Yes? Yes, I thought so too.
With that being said, the next time someone politely asks you to keep an eye on their stuff while they grab some lunch, the proper response is probably, “Sure, no problem!” or “Well, I was actually just about to leave…” NOT “I accept no liability, but if you want…”
Because that last response? Just makes people think you are a shit not a nice, collegial person.
All the best, y’all.

Yeah, the key is “think like lawyers” not “act like lawyer cliches”. What a shit, er, not nice person.
Next time you get that line, tell them to get the bailment out of their ass and watch the damn bag.
I had to chuckle…because really, who freaking says that?
Ok, catching up. That is awful. And I know someone at my shcool would absolutely effing say it.
