56、nd your fist right on their unsympathetic faces. If my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would appreciated his warning. If the Greyhound sales agent sympathetically told me that my bus had already left，I probably would said，Oh，thats all right Ill catch the next one. Big win
