I tend to have the opposite reaction. If I see someone putting their family ahead of other things it makes me think that person probably has good character (because the path of least resistance is often not to do that).
Good character counts for a lot in my estimation of people (e.g. when I'm trying to decide whether I would like to work with someone).
- pingswept 16y agoI agree on the high valuing of good character. But I don't think Brad Feld was putting just his wife ahead of the audience-- he was putting anyone who dialed his number ahead of the audience. In the video, I believe it turned out to be his aunt calling. If he had some wife-specific ringtone, or some other way of making it a wife-specific alarm, I'd be 100% on his side, but as it is, I still think it's inconsiderate to the audience.
