Quite true. Many people today DON'T care what anyone else thinks of them, even if they're flaming bungholes.
Just yesterday, I disqualified a young, well-qualified, smartly-dressed applicant for a position I was hiring because I'd watched him crowd an older lady from the firm next door to us away from the elevator door. Maybe it was a bad move for us, given his credentials. But I'll be da*ned if I'll hire someone I think is a punk.
You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Not caring what other people might think isn't a very good position to act upon that from. It doesn't matter if you're applying for a position in our firm, or if you're hoping to gain access to a rancher's property to hunt.
So, maybe we should expand on that a little?
Yes but in a Counterpoint, he would have to care what you thought in the first place and not care about the consequences his not caring may have upon him.
