Me: You must pay the bill first.
C: You don’t understand plain English, do you girl? Get me your supervisor!

I have them call me "sir" sometimes too & though I have a low speaking voice, I don't sound like a guy. Well, to most ppl apparently.

[tenzilkem]

Mine can be down right gutteral so I try to lighten it up. Heaven help em if I have sinus issues my voice goes from sounding baritone to James Earl Jones!

I gotta respect someone who sounds like Vader. I won't be mean to that person! Some ppl, however, are clearly fools.

[tenzilkem]

As long as they never call me Master Vader....

Huh. Now I fully acknowledge that there are a lot of things that are more difficult for lefties to do [I should know, I am one ], but...programming a remote? Really?

[Duelist925]

Urg. This is giving me unpleasent flashbacks....ahhhg. Whyyyyy do these people exist. I swear, I will become rich the day I figure out how to punch people over the phone.

I'm with you Eisa. Us lefties (left handed, not left wing, take that to fratching) are going to rule the world... eventually.

You really got some winners this time around, didn't you?

[DGoddessChardonnay]

You really got some whiners this time around, didn't you?

Edited for accuracy (and my amusement.)

Should have offered some cheese and crackers to go with their whine . . . they're already fruity enough.

As long as they never call me Master Vader....

Muahahah. Use the voice!
you never know just how well it might work on someone.

...I swear, I will become rich the day I figure out how to punch people over the phone.

I really believe that. It's a skill I would pay much to learn.

[jedimaster91]

As long as they never call me Master Vader....

That's because "Master" is a Jedi title. No self respecting Sith wants to be referred to as "Master" (unless by a student they're teaching). The proper title is "Lord." So, would "Lord Vader" be acceptable to you?

Fark, I'm a nerd. ph34r m3!

Huh. Now I fully acknowledge that there are a lot of things that are more difficult for lefties to do [I should know, I am one ], but...programming a remote? Really?

Not only that, but a lot of "lefty" equpiment really sucks. Anyone else remember the craptastic "lefty scissors" in grade school? To this day, I cut right-handed even thought most modern scissors can be used either way.

Lefties will rule the world some day. We're the only ones in our right minds, after all.
