Lawyers as Bad Customers

On Waiter Rant. As far as the writing the date off as a business expense: it's not just fraudulent, it's really, really tacky. As far as the idea of lawyers being overly argumentative: I'm not completely convinced. I think the couple described were being arrogant *ssholes, but I'm not so sure they wouldn't have been no matter what profession they'd chosen. I've noticed a high correlation between people who know my occupation and people who perceive me as overly argumentative. I think it's a tendency to notice things that fit in with your stereotype of a person, I don't really argue any more or less often than before my legal training.
