Not every deserves a second chance in your life, and that’s okay. Having standards, and an expectation of how you should be treated in every aspect of your life is not a bad thing.
This helps you establish clear boundaries for the things you will not tolerate, no matter the excuses.
Whether it’s a nail technician who messed up your last set, a restaurant that left a bad taste in your mouth, or the latest changes that Elon Musk has made to Twitter leaving you underwhelmed, it’s understandable if you can’t bring yourself to keep dishing out chance after chance, hoping that things will improve.
What happens when you give people the benefit of the doubt too often is that they start to take advantage of you, for being so easy to please.
Of course, everyone makes mistakes, but if this “one-time mistake” becomes a regular occurrence, and every set of acrylic looks ghastly, it’s time to cut your losses, and find a new tech, because you deserve better.
Thomas and Skhumba have a list of service providers, teams, political parties that they just don’t feel are worthy of being given a second chance.
From Eskom to Bafana Bafana, there’s only so much both Kaya 959 presenters can endure, continuously accepting poor performance and under-delivery, from these two entities is what most likely made it okay for loadshedding and sub-par performance to continue.
For Skhumba, writing off Bafana Bafana cannot be reversed, because he has reached the point were no amount of convincing can change that.
“I’ve blocked Bafana Bafana on Twitter, and I’m proud of it. I have no intention of giving them a second chance.”
He’s not the only one who feels giving someone a second chance will only show you flames, listeners share situations that showed them why it’s better to just cut your losses and find a salon that’s not going to cut your cuticles until they bleed.
