Unfortunately what such analysis ignores is that a lot of this is a function of the person receiving feedback, not the one giving it, and so no matter how you hyper-optimize it, it won't help if the receiver is hell bent on getting upset / offended. I live in an apartment community and we have assigned parking. Some of these parking spots have pillars next to them so it can be a bit hard to park if the car adjacent to yours isn't parked correctly. I am in one such spot. The guy in the neighboring spot technically parks correctly since it's within the lines, but the spots are somewhat narrow, and if he leaves no padding, then it becomes tricky for me to park my car since I have a pillar on the other side. On the other hand, he has a compact car and plenty of space on the other side. After a few weeks of struggling to avoid the pillar, I left a polite note on his car requesting him to please leave a bit more padding on the right side if possible. I even acknowledged that he wasn't parking incorrectly, and that it would just make my life much easier if he could park just as bit to the left within his spot. He left back a rude note on my car, basically asking me to pound sand and to not bother him and he could park anywhere he wanted as long as it was within the lines and to go talk to the leasing office if I didn't like my spot. What do you do to difficult folks like these?
