I'm being told over and over again that my voice is too soft, that I have to speak up more. It just feels RUDE to! This is how it IS, just LISTEN.

People too, every time I buy stuff for the cats "Oh, you have cats?" I know they are just being friendly but...I have two containers of cat litter, three cases of cat food and cat toys...the hamster will LOVE it.

Well, if your voice is too soft and people are telling you over and over again that it is, maybe the problem isnt with them!

Maybe not, but at the same time, speaking louder is just plain unnatural to me.

"Are you in a band?"
"How long did it take you to grow your hair that long?"

I'm sick to DEATH of those two questions...

You should have it printed on a T-shirt!

Or you need to answer like "Actually, I'm in a gastric band" and "I didn't grow my hair like this, dude. I know, right? WEIRD..."

Actually, when someone asks if I'm in a band I usually say "No, I sell dental floss."

Makes 'em think a little. :p

It is annoying when I would go out to bars in the town I work at. I would always get some drunk asking for a free haircut or a haircut right there. The worst question I get is when I am at the local convenient store getting some lunch and I run into a customer who wants to make an appointment. I do not carry my appointment book with me nor do I have a set up everyplace I go to make appointments. :rolleyes:

it's good to see in todays economy you can turn down work:thumb:


for me it's people who tell me I should quit smoking, or making comments isn't it too cold/wet to smoke etc , you'd be surprised how many total strangers will come up and tell you to quit or tell a story about somoene they knew. Yes thank-you for telling me, I know I have too, I don't really enjoy being part of the 22% of smokers who have become a scourge on society, but don't you realize, I understand smoking is bad, I've seen the commercials, I see the warning signs on everything associated with tobacco, and I see the effects it doing to me. I know your trying to be nice, but a total stranger walking by telling me their aunt got emphasymia from smoking probably won't take the craving away.

Also the amount of people who call me at home or stop me and want to know the best way to import or export both legal and illegal stuff (since I'm in the Customs/Freight Forwarding industry). my own friends give out my home number to their friends even my mother has?. I did have a funny one where a friend of mine , called with an accent and pretended he wanted to import a dog (and 1/2 way through the conversation he said no not as a pet I want him to eat) it was just a joke

Pagan! IM SAYIN' * we are truly bass brothers! :laugh: I also get one added question though: "is it natural?" LOL as if I have time to go to a salon and get it permed! as if I am going to get up extra early every morning and put my hair in rollers!! :laugh: I may be a little crazy and zany but I couldn't manage that.

Because of my height, I also get "dude, you should play basketball" a lot, but little do they know that it's my primary objective in life to destroy every basketballer in the whole universe because a "basketballer" stole my girlfriend at High School!! :lol: :laugh: I shall destroy them! all of them one by one!! mmwaah ha ha haaaaa ahahaah haaaaaaaaaar :grrr:

well... I'll give them the evil eye at least! :lol:


* thank you for the loan of your catch phrase, Kim :)

When people hear I work for the Texas Department of Public Safety they ask, "Can you fix my driving record?" or "Can you look up this information for me?" First of all, I don't even work in the Driver's License division anymore (haven't for a year now) and second I wouldn't do it anyway.

Radar still pestering you?


I hate getting "are you ready for this cold/wet/hot/dry weather that's coming?"

Why are old people so phucking concerned with the weather?

'You look as though you've been losing weight...you need to eat more...blah blah'. I've been precisely 13 stone since 1995!

What I hate is when you're wearing a jacket and someone asks "Are you cold?"

I feel like saying... "Why would I be F***ing cold if I'm wearing a jacket?"

Another thing is I have sinus problems so often have to blow my nose in air conditioned offices. The question I hate is "Have you got a cold?"

You couldn't do that all every morning, you'd have to sleep in those "twisty" curlers. They are LUMPY and pinchy!

If they want to make the basketball crack, look down on them and tell them they should have a try at being a garden gnome.

Better yet, come get me. I'll bite ALL they all's ankles!

I get the whole "Is your hair REALLY that blonde"? thing a lot.

YES, it is. I only pre-bleach before I do any pink in it so that it will last. Otherwise, my hair is naturally very, very, very blonde. If you can't tell by the fact that you can't tell I have eyelashes or brows until you are two inches from my face...

And ya'll, yes, I suppose I do have a kind of crazy-like personality, and it works for me. For some people, this might lead them to assume I am STUPID.

I've been asked at least a dozen times "You can drive a STANDARD???" :dammit: Why is that so hard to believe? And why do they give me "that look" when I tell them I actually PREFER one?

my would be .... "do you rent tuxedos here?" hello i work in a tuxedo store and we have friggin 32 mannequin displays with tuxedos...what do you think?
this is everyday......

Another "favorite" of mine is when they point to the Miami Dolphins logo I have tattooed on my arm and ask..."You like the Dolphins?"

"No...I'm a Jet fan. I just felt the need to burn the logo of their most hated rivals into my flesh."

I'm waiting to use this one next time I fly a kite:

"You flying a kite?"

"Nope! I'm fishing for birds"

I'm waiting to use this one next time I fly a kite:

"You flying a kite?"

"Nope! I'm fishing for birds"


"You flying a kite?"

"Nope! Scanning for morons....HEY, HONEY? YEAH, OVER HERE...CAN YOU MARK ANOTHER ONE ON SCORESHEET FOR ME? MAKE IT TWO, I GOT A BIG ONE!"

Here's one I just got. It's not one I get all the time, but it still qualifies as stupid:

I'm at the gas station, at the air pump putting a little air in the tires. Jeenyus Dude walks by "Oh, tires a little slack?"

I like slogging through ice and snow in below zero weather to waste money on way more air time than I need. Come here so I can use up the rest of the time in a way that will stop you from asking that stupid question yet again. At least you won't ask ME again, and that's really all I care about...

aw, he's just trying to make conversation Dawn! :lol: :) it could be worse, he could say the blatantly obvious like:

"wicked snow were were havin' "

or

"wicked cold today huh?"

I know, hon :) This is why I only THINK these things and not SAY them. I know when I'm just being :argh: :thumb:

here's another good one for my job---"do you guys sale dresses?"

I feel like saying-"yeah, let me just go to the back and pull one out for you since we don't like to display the dresses, because having them displayed wouldn't make any sense" i wonder how long they would wait if i did just go to the back?

Worth a shot!! And you would get a break for a while -- try it! :lol:

Even better, come out with something totally unrelated like a coffee mug and tell them that this was all you had in stock right now. Set it down, tell them to look it over, talk about it amongst themselves, and you will come back to talk about their options.

Go to the security cameras and watch to see if they really do it.:mwaha:

that is hilarious:rollin::rollin:

that does sound like it would be fun to see their faces... .. it's just so annoying sometimes.

I've got two sons. The oldest looks like me and the youngest looks like his dad. People never fail to point that out to us when the four of us are together: "Oh! You've got one that looks like you and one that looks like him!" "Really?!? Wow, we'd never noticed what our kids look like before--thanks!" :rolleyes:

...imagine.....children looking like their parents...go figure. some people are just idiots.

OMG! Have I ever. If you're visually impaired, you get them. Anything from how do you dress yourself, to do you eat with a knife fork and spoon. No shit. Somebody actually asked me that one time. I couldn't believe it.
