Some summer day PMS, a bad day, and someone slowly sauntering across the crosswalk and then completely stopping in the middle to answer their phone are going to combine w/ ugly results.

I agree. I went to Publix yesterday. I was gone so long that I got a call from Big D asking if I was okay or was I having problems finding everything on my list. Heck, I was talking to Wayne, the produce manager. Then another professor rolled through and joined the conversation. Then I saw one of the hosts for the engagement party, and we yapped for a while. Then Albert took out my groceries, and we talked about the weather and the Georgia Tech loss.
those publix employees have spoiled me rotten. and I love it.
there were times in the past when I really did need assistance getting groceries to the car (on crutches, or with infant, or both) - they totally went out of their way for me. and I still let them.

The commercials with the little kids and the fake pony vs the real pony. And the little girl with the bicycle.
I guess they are effective, but they just ruin your whole evening.

Is parking between the lines a lost skill?

If the phone rings and noone answers, leave a message FTLOC, don't just call again 3 minutes later!
Yes, some people DO have better things to do than drop everything to take your call OR the manners to not talk while at the counter, in the bathroom, etc.! :angry:

Scooty, I always take your calls when I'm in the, well, never-mind.....
I try real hard to walk in other peoples shoes everyday, so, I really only have a few thing that bother me almost enough to do something about them.
1. Sir or madam, with your walkie-talkie cell phone thingie, please turn the push button noise off and turn your speaker off too, while you're at it. I don't need to know what your ex said the doctor told them you gave them in the cat food aisle of Walmart.
2. That's a shirt, not a dress. This is a grocery story, put some pants on, or pull up the ones your wearing. You look stupid and naked, not a good look for anyone.
3. Driving 55 miles an hour and someone pulls out in front of you (while you slam on brakes ) just to make the next turn, 20 feet down the street, instead of letting you pass and then pulling out. Thanks for almost killing us both, you impatient, premature, puller-outer. You should be stuck all day in a Mini storage unit with phone beep/nothings personal guy and the butt crack kid.
4. Rude, impatient people. I have defended clerks while standing in-line. They had two hands each and were doing the best that they could. Heaven and earth are not going to move any faster because you are making exasperated breathing noises behind me. In fact, you need to move to another lane, now.

I can relate to all this. but I don't get this - can you clarify?You should be stuck all day in a Mini storage unit with phone beep/nothings personal guy and the butt crack kid.
I'm laughing my ass off at this but I have no idea what it means.
