The only norm I ever liked was Norm in Cheers.
All other norms… bloody boring.
Here’s my favourite Norm greeting, by the way:
Sam/Woody: “Hey! What you up to Mr. Peterson?”
Norm: “My ideal weight if I were eleven feet tall.”
Challenging norms is great. In business and in life.
If I had a coffee shop, there’d be this sign on my door:
“Want a wee? Oh.. OK then. Use our toilet. No need to buy coffee… this time.
(Because next time. Once you do. You won’t go anywhere else).
Have a great day!”
That’s not the norm for business.
And this is not the norm in life… try it:
“The problem is, when a woman goes to the toilet she never puts the toilet seat back up does she?
Inconsiderate, that.”
Risky. But hard to argue with yes?
(Good luck).
