Disjointed Tuesday, "They're All Gonna Laugh At You!"

If you call a number that's listed in the Yellow Pages as "Ford Parts," start the call off with "Is this ____ Ford Parts?" and then tell the person who answered that you need "A Vortex 350 for a 90 Dodge Suburban," you really shouldn't be surprised if you hear giggling.

--

If you write down an e-mail address for someone, you should be careful to spell things right, both before and after the "at." "qt ok sent. gov" just isn't the same as "@oksenate.gov," and nobody should have to throw a guess as to just which letters were left out.

If you have trouble with that whole "turn-knob-push-door" concept, are you sure you're okay with being out on your own??

--

If you wait in line at Subway, have two sandwiches made, and then get to the cash register and decide you only want one of them, people are going to think you're a jerk. If you think the people who work at Subway are going to be able to "take that apart and just put that stuff back," you're a crazy jerk, and everybody in line behind you knows it.

--

And on a more personal note... If you do something, repeatedly, aiming at a target of irritating me, I'll eventually get pushed over the edge into the area of "pissed off." When you manage to hit the target you've been aiming at, don't act puzzled.

That's it... I'm done for now...

More later. _\,,/
