ORIGINS: The movers arrived late at my house, delayed – as one of them explained – by “Malicious Indecision” around the placement of a grand piano.😂 Such a wonderful phrase. He described how he and his colleague were left standing in a newly built, spacious London apartment for half a day as the client fussed and worried over centimetres here and millimetres there … with friends and relatives consulted by phone and WhatsApp to help select the exact position. “Ooh, I just can’t choose!” sounds sooo innocent. But not if other people are waiting to help, their hours (and life) ticking away as the ‘decider’ ponders at leisure. Think PASSIVE AGGRESSION infused with ENTITLEMENT.
