Playing well with others isn't work

Wall Street Journal:

We have all worked with at least one office pain in the neck, someone whose irritating and unfathomable behavior annoys co-workers and wrecks teamwork. These foibles often persist beyond reason because they are so deep-rooted, having been learned in the families of people's childhoods. Amid a growing focus on workplace quality, some managers and coaches are now using new techniques to identify the childhood origins of harmful behavior at work and then rout out those patterns through training or outright bans on bad behavior.

Rather than "identifying the childhood origins of harmful behavior" in others, I would like to propose a "new technique" of interpersonal awesomeness called "voluntary association." The way it would work is, I would grow some food in my garden and, insofar as you qualify in my mind as "a dick," I would bring it to someone else's party.
