People can go through their entire lives without really <i>getting</i> what they're about. Why waste time trying to please people when you have completely different values? How can you draw this line in the sand unless you know what YOUR VALUES are? I understand what jrandom42 was getting at but I think the situation he is describing is what happens when someone <i>doesn't</i> know who they are and realize mid-situation that they've made a mistake. Or they didn't really understand or have all the information beforehand. Anyway, I totally agree. We place too much emphasis on the-way-it's-always-been-done-just-because.

They almost never stick around to accept the consequences of their actions. 2. Before disrupting everything, they take no heed of all the chaos and mess they inflict on their co workers to clean up. 3. In some of my former careers, being a troublemaker can put you on the wrong end of automatic weapons, grenades and laser designators. Here’s the problems I have with troublemakers:
