As already mentioned some were just not very good at seeing the warning signs they were pushing the boundary just a little to far. Males I have to say are often poor at recognising the signs people give when less than pleased, this is why I find myself ranting at a bewildered husband who is protesting I haven`t told him I am unhappy about whatever it is I am giving him both barrels for. Well no I have not because he should damn well know, as far as I am concerned I have been making it very plain for days. I have seen boys play the fool in class and them seem genuinely surprised when the teacher having had enough orders them to the deputy head, they never seemed to gain the ability to read the signs and as a result ended up in trouble on a number of occasions.
