Although I agree that "showboating" can be annoying, and, in My mind, doesn't really prove anything, I disagree that "standing out" , or being outstanding, is a bad thing. As I already said, and many Ladies have given specific examples, the attitude and going above and beyond, will show a Lady that the boy is sincere about his service and enjoys that service for its own sake. Too many hurry through a task, taking a command literally, and doing just that and only that so they can get to their expected reward. There is a fine line and a boy could go too far, but that is where some common sense comes in. I told john to wash My car. That was it. No other instructions. He could have just washed the outside of the car, but he took the extra time and initiative to open the doors and clean out the inside also, including a thorough vacuuming. Sometimes I will give a more general directive just to see if the boy will go the extra mile, or only do the minimum. And I don't mind if he asks a question concerning a preference for something extra. I am guessing there are other Ladies who do the same. It's all in the attitude.
