I have heard of that happening. A friend of mine witnessed two woman beat a man out of his seat so that he'd give it over to a pregnant woman once. that was in Italy . . .
I just know that there have been moments when I was lashed out at by a customer, infront of other customers and nothing was said. Even when the other person was in the wrong. I think that people, when seeing such a thing, should call the aggressor out and make them be accountable for their actions.
Just wondered if anyone had done that or not. Not so much here on the forums, it seems to be a little too easy to avoid saying your sorry or any such thing when you can just avoid the site all together.
I have worked in stores and resturants a long time, customer service is a big part of working in such a place. But I have grown to resent some customers at times, because they seem to use store clerks, waitresses and anyone else w/ a customer service type job as if they are nothing but the hired hand. now granted, we are hired to provide a service and that is what we shoudl do. But at what point shoudl another customer or managment step in a protect your employees? W/ happy and secure employment you have a happy and hard working group of people. In my opinion.
There is no reason to be rude, disrespectful or trite to a Customer service person. If you are, you will never recieve the kind of service you feel you deserve. Has anyone witnessed a sureal moment where you have or wish you had said something/stepped in to say something?
I guess I was speaking more of a $$$ fashion. I have just come from a worker's gathering where we just talked of money and devision of labour based upon money and responsiblity.
Over all we felt that those w/ the large paycheck could become a little over inflated. I just wondered if people thought that could happen in a realtionship. It's kind of nice when we meet someone who views our work and monitary involvment as equal to their own.
I agree w/ Queen. With Cell phone's becoming all the rage, people are becoming a little too comfortable w/ using them w/ their everyday conversations and activities.
However, I am someone who dislikes talking on the phone to begin w/, I would rather talk in person. It's much more fun and healthy.
Have never answered my phone while on a date. But I do always have it on unless I am in a place that says to turn it off (Like a hospitel or theater). If I do need to answer my phone I excuse myself to the other person and let that someone know that I am busy, or I answer and hang up quickly.
But then again the only people that would call are may parents and work. My mom would know about the date, and work can leave a message.
Being at peace w/ one's self is a battle now a days w/ most people, myself included. My focus for the moment is living in the moment and taking on a little at a time. Especially if I feel myself becoming overwhelmed w/ bills, work, the weather.
I find your discussion interesting and food for thought. Thank you.
I wanted to meet new people. Though I have tried other sites and theguys on them are really . . . . nasty. It kind of creeped my way out. So here I am, though I have stopped trying to find anyone, you don't get anywhere trying to find someone that doesn't know their lost to begin w/. I am just waiting till the wonder on by.
I hear you loud and clear. I have had a couple of moments where a guy and I discussed body type and image and what he expectedme to look like. I informed him that that was not my body type, and that he might want to look else where.
Later I posted that fact that I am a little "plump", hoping to keep those men looking for the physically perfect woman from dropping in. It kind of works.
You might just have to work at finding him rather then the other way around. Good luck,
I think a lot of people type out a generic profile description of what they want and who they are. Some of us have tried to be a little more honest and (in my case) almost abrasive in order to weed out those who are here to take advantage or are a little too insecure in themselves.
Though I think some people here are still searching for themselves and trying to determine what direction they want their life to go in. But maybe I am over thinking things.
It is snowing and blowing all over the place. My house is snowed in, luckily I got a ride in to town so that I could get to work. We have a friend that is going to help plow our driveway, which is going to be nice. But my mom said we might get rain tonight. that will suck considering that we have about three feet of snow in front of our house were we have been throughing it when we have to dig the cars out.
We even have to dig some paths so that the dog can get out into the yard so that he can pee. I can deal w/ the snow, but rain on to of that. Damn!!!!!!
Yeah, kind of. I have a 401K which hangs out in the stockmarket. It's doing just fine at the moment. Just started it though, so there isn't too much to worry about yet.
I guess that could be true. I have always been loud (in person) and maybe a bit over the top. But that is how I get work done and make others feel comfortable around me. Here however, the only volume we have is the font, color an CAPS.
I think that was the direction I was heading in. I have never really understood the whole clique thing, mostly because I never really belonged to one in school or in the real world. They are kind of pointless and one dementional at times.
I have tried posting new threads, but people get hung up in a lot of the older threads, chatting or what have you w/ the usual suspects.
So I have gotten a little tired of trying to start conversation w/ people. No one really wants to post replies or add to a conversation much, So I have given up . . . unless I am really in a chatty mood.
Your family is there to support you. If something like color, weight, or even religion is an issue - then you probably would not be dating that person any ways. Seeing as how our families tend to influence our choices.
Though I know that my mom has specific ideas of who she would like me to be with, I also know that she would respect my choice in a lover - no matter what they looked like. It's all in how that person treats me.

What is the rudest moment who have witnessed?
