Okay, if you haven't read the first Helpful Hints post - you should. You may consider the points when out in public so you don't make people angry, consider them to push people's buttons or think of them as you are out and develop issues with public places. Here are a few Helpful Hints for all you shoppers...
1) If you're in a group of slow walking shoppers, don't walk in a straight line so no one can get by. There's nothing that makes me want to strangle myself on the spot like trying to get from store to store through a crowd and then getting slowed down to a crawl. If you'd like to stroll through that's fine, just don't block the way! Some of us know where we're going and what we want.
2) Do not yell at sales people. Just because they work in retail and you've had a bad day, doesn't mean they have "Please yell at me to the point that spit is flying out of your mouth" pasted on their forehead! And if you are one of the customers behind this rude person, say something. Don't just mumble under your breath. Be the person who improves someone else's day not the one who completely shatters it. Unless the rudeness begins at their end, in which case, I like to be rude right back or talk to them like they are 5. That always cheers me up.
3) It's taking forever to get through a line and the person behind you is so glad that they're next. Until...you pull out your small change one by one. I always picture taking that persons purse, dumping it out and counting it myself so they'll get far far away from me as soon as possible. Here's a hint...Roll it and take it to the bank. This situation is even worse when the person has forgotten their glasses.
4) Shopping is enjoyable unless you happen to walk through someone's stench! Come on people. If you are going out in public...please have a shower. People shouldn't have to breathe in your dirty, germ filled, stank wank body stench! If I wanted to smell rancid meat, old garlic, moth balls or any other nasty smells that have grown on you I would live in a garbage bin.
Well, I can't think up anything else...so have a great April. So far April in Winnipeg sucks but things could change.
I know some of you wont appreciate this photo. But when I spotted it, I had a good laugh. It inspires me to do the same.
She's 21 today! I remember days when Lori would do something that annoyed me and I would over react angrilly and tell her that she was named after a dead person (No really, she was! My dad's sister died as an infant when she went in for surgery to correct her clef pallet). Sorry that you were the first to experience my meanness Lori. Maybe you should have thought about that before you were born second! Ha ha, like you had a choice. It is actually nice that your name had a meaning behind it. In a way, as you have lived your life you've kept the memory of dad's baby sister alive.
