The Whisky Rule: That’s a lot of missed meetings.
Here’s a great idea, courtesy of blogger Ned Dwyer, by way of LifeHacker: Whenever you cancel a meeting with less than 10 minutes notice or miss one altogether, you owe the offended party a bottle of whisky.
Explained Dwyer, “I’m more than happy to sling a bottle of whisky to my counterpart as an apology and a sort of olive branch, hoping they’ll forgive me and we can make it up the next time we meet. Likewise if someone cancels on me or just doesn’t show up I don’t get too hot and bothered by it. Instead I let them know about the whisky rule – if they really want to meet up again they should come bearing a Laphroaig or some obscure small batch Japanese whisky.”
Great idea, we say – and we’d like to amend it. Periscope‘s Editor-in-Chief, Linda Rodriguez McRobbie, is perpetually, congenitally, ridiculously late, to pretty much everything. It’s a trait she and her husband may have passed on to their son, as well – even though she went into labour with him on his due date, he still didn’t show up until the next day. So, here’s what we suggest: Whenever she’s more than 20 minutes late for a meeting or event, she’ll be forced to buy everyone a shot of whisky.
She’ll be broke within the month.
