Observation Deck

Is being observant a good thing or a bad thing?
Unfortunately for me it is both. I pick up annoying habits of people, however it allows me to make a joke about it to others in a "nice" kind of way.

For example...
Good - It is good because I find out peoples true traits by the things they do everyday
          - I can jokingly make fun of them (of course with them knowing and not in a crude way)
          - I can share common traits that I may myself do the same as others

Bad    - I notice when people clear their throat all the time and it gets frustrating
          - Sometimes I pick up on these bad traits e.g. sniffing, speaking of words a certain way etc
          - It impacts upon how I view a person

I mean it cannot all be that bad really. I know I would prefer it sometimes if people were more observant with the things I did - GOOD things I do, so I can get some credit for it. I don't really like how people take credit for something you have done. I created something all by myself and mastered the whole thing, and then this other person goes and takes majority of the credit for it and just makes out like I "helped"... I DID THE WHOLE THING DAMMIT!.

Anyway, I'm sure many of us out there have been in the same situation and observe peoples traits like I do - less or more.

Just have to have another day of looking and observing people in life.
