Unsolicited Shop Advice?

[kbalch]

For me, it really depends on context. With a friend, I'm never shy about pointing out a better way to do things. With someone I don't know well (or at all), I'm much more inclined to assume an 'eyes/ears open, mouth shut' posture; one never knows what one might learn, even from the most seemingly unlikely sources.

That said, if I see a safety issue, I'm always going to say something. Always. I've seen the consequences of poor safety-related decision-making up close and personal, both in the shop and out in the world. Nobody's getting hurt on my watch - and I'm always watching!
