kingbunky 3 #1 April 3, 2005 ...so i go to tim horton's (like dunkin donuts, but better ) to get a tea for my wife. i go to the counter and ask for an extra large tea with milk. the lady at the counter looks at me and says 'cream?', i say, no, milk. then she pours me a coffee with milk. i said, 'no, not coffee, tea!', and she looks at me like i have three noses.

slotperfect 7 #4 April 3, 2005 Two weeks ago I was in a restaurant bar waiting for my table with friends. I asked the bartender: "Do you have Bacardi O?" He said: "Yes, we have that." I said: "On the rocks, please." I waited several minutes and watched him serve two other people. I leaned way over the bar and caught his eye. He said: "They're changing out the Coke canister sir, I'll have your drink right up." When I told him I hadn't said anything about Coke, but wanted it on the rocks, he disappeared for a minute and came back with my drink. I paid him, and took a sip - NOT Bacardi O! When I told him he said: "Oh, we don't have Bacardi O, all we have is Silver." Another example: A new Best Buy store opened in town, and being a gadget-oriented man I went on opening night. I wanted an XM Radio for my car. I decided on what I wanted, and asked the sales person (who wanted to ring me up right away) if I could just continue shopping and put it in my basket. They told me the units were locked up because they were not allowed to be carried around the store (even though they have someone checking bags and receipts at the exit). So I let them ring me up, and I asked for a bag. They said they are not allowed to keep bags back there, and that my salesperson would have to escort me to the front to get a bag from the register. So up to the front we went, where she put my XM Radio in a bag and handed it to me, so I could go right back to shopping in the same department with the bagged item in my hand. The department manager said it was company policy. My buddy I was shopping with said they were going to get pissed that I was walking around with it in the bag . . . by this time I was very irritated and he had pushed my button. I told him I hope they ask me about it - I have something for them. It was my property at that point, so $%^&* em.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damn Yanks and Brits... Hell, my wife is from Connecticut, and the only thing that drives me nuts is she spoons sugar over her GRITS! Hello?!? This is the deep south! You put a pat of butter on your grits! Of course, when I go up north and ask for a glass of sweet tea in a restaurant, I just get stared at...

You put a pat of butter on your grits! I do both! AND I also add milk!! (or at least I did both when I was stationed in the south. Grits was the only edible substance in the chow hall for breakfast) ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
