"Softly steklet, yes hard to sleep": meaning and examples

When a person wants to say a warning about someone, he says: "Look, it gently steklet, but hard to sleep." We will analyze today the meaning of the proverb, and we also learn who prefers to cook "uncomfortable beds" for the interlocutor.

Meaning

There is no special riddle here. The expression "Gently steklet, yes hard to sleep" means that a person does not say what he thinks. Rather, his speech has a subtext directly opposite to the content. And yet, one can not do without an example.

Network marketing as an example

Everyone in the search for work somehow got into the offices, which are, as a rule, in the cellars and other unpresentable places. These people are "employees of a large firm," and they offer a gullible person to become their "business partner." Many know what this ends: firstly, newly-made "employees" are offered to purchase brochures of 100 rubles each, and then more. And all because about any representative of the network company you can say: "It is softly steklet, but hard to sleep."

Recruitment, when they do not tell the whole truth

Another less extreme and unpleasant example. When a person is interviewed for work, the employer or his representative is flooded with nightingales about what a good and successful company they have, what high demands, a big salary. But there is not a word about what this salary comes from, how it is formed. Not a word about delays until late at work, about the despotic head of the department, who will tyrannize the newly arrived employee. The representative of the company, in whatever rank he was, "gently steleth", and "hard to sleep."

How to understand that people are preparing an "uncomfortable bed"?

To understand whether a proverb is suitable or not for describing the situation in which a person has gotten, you need to think about three questions:

1. Are not too bright and cloudless prospects drawn.
2. How well a person knows who gives him information.
3. And does anyone who talks to him have a vested interest in agreeing to an undertaking.

Answering these simple questions, it is possible to understand what position a person has fallen into and so desperately. A friend will not cook a "hard bed". He does not need it. Although it all depends on the "quality" of the friend.

Especially it is necessary to be attentive when it comes to financial and material issues.

The tone of expression

It can be seen from the examples that the tone of the expression is negative. No one in my head will come to praise in this way. Because the proverb "Softly steklet, yes hard to sleep" speaks of the man's dvojdushi, which, of course, does not paint him.
