Hidden meanings behind common everyday things (21)
Well I've come across what seems to be a hidden meaning to everyday things to a lot of people apparently 
No doubt a little off topic, but it's the one where you work in a store, and at the end of the day you've packed up, turned all the lights off and people start wandering in and "browsing"??
What is with that
They sometimes (not always) at least have the courtesy to mention that they know you're closing (closed
) but of course won't mind if they have a "quick look"?!
Smilingly, we oblige, up to a point, when we're actually thinking "We trade 7 days a week and we've been here for 8 and half hours ... where've you been all day?"
Grrrrr

I don't mind, I even open up if we're not open and someone is browsing the books in the window.
Any there that you like as I can get them out if you like.
At the end of the day every $$$ adds up to more t/over in my pockets.
I can understand if you're an employee though.

Yeah, well as I said, we smile and are never rude, but it seems to be happening more and more
I honestly think that people have got so used to extended (and varied, depending on the retailer) trading hours, that they figure they'll go shopping for furniture at 5.30pm on a Tuesday afternoon
or look stunned when they realise we are closed at 5pm on a Saturday serene56: Yeah, well as I said, we smile and are never rude, but it seems to be happening more and more

Being in the country, a lot of out of towners are stunned when they turn up at 1pm Sat. to find half the town closed and the Bakery not making sandwiches but closing up.
Little quirks like playing with your hair, crossing your arms and stroking your neck say a lot more about us than we think.

I have always had trouble with it personally.
What does the hair curl around your finger, the stroke of the kneck, the tongue on tip of finger all mean?

"browsing the books in the window." Were you perhaps a white knight in another life?
apparently you can get a good indication of he size of a man down there by checking out his fingers, are they short and stubby, long and thin, or if you are really lucky, long and thick.
Today's homework for the fellas,... please test this theory and post results.
Thank you

Short and stubby, yes, same down there too.

I have heard it is the same rule for feet & hands in general but I suppose most of the appendages follow suit don't they.

Your thumb is usually the length of your nose.

The length of your forearm is a 1/4 of your waist. So if you don't want to try on a pair of pants, fold the waist in half and measure it along your forearm. It works for me.
When my kids were young, I told them if they told lies they would get lumps on their tongue. When ever I thought they were telling lies I would make them poke out their tongue. Depending on how long it took for them to poke out their tongue and the look on their face, I could tell if they were lying. Worked for yrs until they learnt about taste buds
