I pray for the strength to change what I can, the inability to change what I can't, and the incapacity to tell the difference -Calvin, Calvin & Hobbes
Being a pessimist and cynical wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't right so often!

I could say something about the pink snake I see everyday, but I won't.

That woman was crazy. Dogs do not generalize well. There is no way they would ever associate a stuffed snake toy with a real one. It is also questionable whether shocking the dog when it approached a dead snake would keep it away from live ones. A live (and moving) snake looks a lot different than a dead one, and a dog's prey-drive may kick in as well.Elwood: "We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."

The Rich keep getting richer because they keep doing what it was that made them rich. Ditto the Poor.

One type of customer I hate as a small business owner is the BREAK ACCUSER.
This is the person who waltzes in while I'm eating my hours-old sandwich, ordering parts online, and on hold with a supplier tracking a missing order. The Break Accuser will bray out, in a snide gotcha! kind of tone, "Aaaaah, taking a little BREAK?" This is, of course, supposed to be hilarious to me, and now the noncomedic customer gets to be hurt because I responded to them like the chalkboard-screech that they were.
Yes SIR! I WAS taking a little break. Real little, about this big. (holding fingers a nanometer apart) And, your appearance just made it disappear completely! Now HOW THE FVCK CAN I HELP YOU, YOU STUPID, UNFUNNY FVCK?Suckiness is reinforced up OR down at every transaction. Accepting BS makes them worse for all of us; firm fairness trains them to suck less.

Well, as you are in the US, you're allowed to be terrified of anything you bloody well want. That's one great freedom we do have. Unless you're terrified of freedom, in which case, well, you're free to work yourself into a panic attack over your freedom to fear freedom... I think.Quoth Bramblerose View Post"Darling, you are a bitch. I'm joining the Navy." -Cinema Guy 4/30/2009Comment
