| @Gaard well, if you think about it, you don’t wanna get a surgeon who’s bored of their job…. Could you imagine hearing this right before the procedure? “oh crap, I have to do nine colonoscopies today”  🤣 |

| Shitbags who scrape up my rear bumper and not tell me. Just because the Honda has 220k miles on it doesn't mean I want it looking like shit. | ||

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| The soaring prices of Girl Scout Cookies! How do I say “No!” without making the little girl feel sad? |

| You just say, "No." and think of what you can do with the money besides getting fat. Imagine if you were trying to sell them comics. They would tell you no and insult you without a moment of hesitation. I see them camped out at the grocery store and I don't even make eye contact. Sometimes they get bossy. That's when I ask them how come they missed out on the primo spots like the Walmart and Chik-fil-a. Sometimes the parents clap back and I say, "Hey, don't take it out on me because your kid didn't make cheerleader and had to settle for Girl Scouts."  |

| Many moons ago I was exceptionally passive. Jehovah witnesses came by and because I couldn't close the door in their fa e I sat and listened fir hours sometimes. My psychiatrist said , no tell the next person that comes to your door your not interested abd close the door. Do not open the door and dont feel guilty. I said okay. A few weeks passed and I get a knock. A little girl was selling cookies and dragged a huge tub with her. I told her I wasn't interested abd closed the door. She started crying. I didnt open tbe door. My friends say there is a special place in hell for me. My psychiatrist said there are shades of grey. |

| Someone once parked so close to me I had to get in on the passenger side and crawl over. I’d recommend not doing that to someone who drives a 25 year old work truck. They’ll then repeatedly open their driver door from the inside into the door of the car that parked to close. |

| You can make a donation to the Scouts instead of buying cookies if you don't want to eat them. You can buy cookies and tell them to keep them, or you can just give cash. Politely declining is an option, of course, but my daughter's troop doesn't do Walmart anymore because politeness doesn't exist there. @multi007 FWIW our prices are the same as last year. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte I went to my friend's house a couple weeks ago to meet up before our monthly trip to meet up with some of the other fellas at Twin Peaks. His daughter cornered me and I ordered a few boxes. I used to feel bad but I actually do like the peanut butter cookies the girl scouts sell. I bought six boxes of cookies. I'll keep two boxes and take the other four to work or to my father. I understand some of what you're talking about. It took me a long time to realize saying "no" is an acceptable response to people. Don't worry if she cries. Girls learn that manipulation tactic early in life. Anyone with a wife, girlfriend, sister or daughter knows it. If they cry enough, someone might give them what they want but it doesn't have to be you. |

| Thunderstorm blew the phone jacks out in the back of the modem. It took me 10 minutes to convince the Comcast support person that the phone jacks were built in to the back of the Comcast equipment and not an extra piece of equipment purchased elsewhere or built into my wall. This is the third or fourth time it has happened over the years. |

| I like Home Depot, but sometimes they can be odd. They will deliver up to 6 bags of mulch for free. If you go over 6, it generates a $35 delivery fee. I needed more than 6. So, I order 6 six this morning and they were delivered for free this evening. Once those 6 were delivered, I ordered 6 more for free delivery tomorrow. It doesn't make sense to me. It's not like the delivery driver is going to lift all the bags of mulch at one time. |

| You might want to invest in a surge suppressor that includes phone jack. I lost a nice printer due to fax line surge during a lightning storm. | ||

| If I had to choose, Home Depot is my choice of box stores. I’ve been known to boycott establishments due to extracurricular activities but I knowingly look aside for HD. | ||

| I did. The Comcast technician recommended that I not use them. I think it runs in on the electrical line to the copy machine and then runs the fax line to the modem. The copy machine has a surge protector supplied by the company. It doesn't blow the whole modem just the phone line inputs. All the internet stuff still works. The tech said is was because the phone jack inputs were cheap. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by HeinzDad I prefer it to Lowes, but you have to learn how to play within their rules. They are right across the street from one another in town. If one doesn't have what I need, it's no sweat to check the other. I was in Lowes the other day to return a fan light. There was a woman working the return desk who was obviously the queen of the show and giving everyone directions. I didn't care. But these two guys in front of me were obviously Indians and the return desk queen starts talking to them in limited Spanish. I just rolled my eyes. Luckily, the guy who usually runs the returns desk showed back up and got things squared away with no issues. |
