Manners

[Smiling JOe]

What happend to manners in our society? I understand on a message board where you are looking for just the facts when you are asking a question, but in person, I think people should be less demanding with their requests. I quickly tire of people who are so demanding with their questions in person, like I am a paid concierge or something. One prime example is the lady who stopped in front a Publix today, backing up cars, rolls down her window and demands to know that Seagrover and I tell her where Pronto's Pizza is located. If she would have pulled out of the way of traffic and asked nicely, I may have told her that she was looking for a restaurant of a different name. "Where is Pronto's Pizza?" No hello, excuse me, I am hoping that you can help me with directions.

Soon, I will be sporting my new shirt which will read, "Do you want the $5 answer, $1 answer, or the free answer?"

If more people could ask like... :scratch:... Destiny, who so kindly asked me for some photos today, I would go a mile out of my way to help. Today, instead, I went secret shopping for some rude shoppers at Publix. ;-)

Next time, just point to your ears and act deaf. You can use your special finger to point if you wish.

What restaurant? I thought you fired the boss so you could move to SoWal.

The "special finger" sounds so much better than "the" finger!

Heres a hanging curveball-what do you think of people who ask you a question but don't bother to lower the cellphone from their ear while they wait for your response?

Huh? I can't hear you.

I like the "special" finger treatment too. Another good one is the ol' shoulder shrug, as in !

Can you hold on a minute? I'm sorry, what did you say?
