You hear people say all the time that they are 'upfront and honest', they 'tell it like it is' and then 'at least people know where they stand'.

Sometimes you read something and it just speaks to you doesn't it? A simple sentence or phrase that somebody else has spoken but you feel as though the words could have come from your mouth.
