well, Mad, once again,...you have cracked my hubby up!
now is that different from a crackdown?
oh the visuals that are flashing before my mind's eye: :shock:

high five, debra!:thumbup:
We all say that here. It keeps the light bill down before they come cut us off :XD:

I always heard that it was Confuscious who said, "Man who fly plane upsidedown have crack-up". :roll:

How about the obligatory "Have a good day" said by the grocery clerk as she turns and faces the cash register with a scowl on her face because she doesn't want to be there.

What a huge difference when somebody says it with a smile and really means it - it can make your whole day!

LOL That sounds more like Charlie Chan!!

Rhonda, I think you're right, it was Charlie. Gotta love him. I watch all his old movies every time they are on. I love his bumbling son.

They were great movies! I discovered the Nick and Nora movies a few years ago. I had never seen them before that I rememer and I have always loved the old movies. They are really called The Thin Man movies. There are 6 of them. They are so funny. They are sort of like the Charlie Chan movies. A whodunit with funny lines in the 30's? Love them. They star William Powell and Myrna Loy.

This isn't about pet peeves but what I don't want to hear and they persist in doing it is call me cute little pet names when they don't even know me. Sweetheart Dearie Love Honey. I tell them you don't know me don't call me your Honey. I'm not your honey! My mom and I "share" this view with people when possible. It is disrespectful to call me a pet name when you are a stranger to me. especially if the clerk is a teenager and my mom is 77 and I am 54! It is a bad habit that should be stopped. I don't have any idea why they do it. Using Maam or nothing at all would be better. A lot of them just ignore me and do it anyway which is just plain rude.

That one drives me crazy to.

Wasn't their dog Asta? Cute little thing and so playful.
