No Space for Rent

I always remember a "Candid Camera" tv show scene which showed a great lesson for life.

The show had set up a situation where a small vendor displayed a sign announcing "NO CHANGE GIVEN." As people stopped by to buy an item, the vendor would not provide change.

Most everyone became upset. Several people became furious, calling this whole scheme ludicrous.

However, one man politely accepted his short-changed return and walk off without incident. When the host stopped the guy and asked about his non-reaction, he gave the simple answer, "I don't let people rent space in my head."

I'm pretty good at avoiding letting people rent space in my head - but I'm far from perfect in that regard.
