How Hard Can It Be?....
Permalink  

Inspired by Dylan and Sparky's exchange in the "Do You Have To Ask" thread, I pose the question, "How Hard Can It Be?"

How hard can it be for someone to throw trash in a proper container and not litter the streets?

How hard can it be for a friggin' smoker to use the ashtray in the car and not throw their butts out the window?

I've always heard, "It takes a special kind of stupid to forget to eat."

I'm special!

I don't think it is that we forget to eat, it just gets in the way. There are times we are busy and the hours go by. And if I am not hungry I don't eat.

How hard can it be to flick on your signal light before making a turn?

Yeah and if they would have given their signal you wouldn't have had to sit there for 5 minutes to turn out. I always look at them and say Nice signal jerk!

It's those new-fangled invisible turn signals.  Top of the line technology.

It replaced the forever signals.

It sounds like one thing we have in common is we all yell something at the idiots who don't use their turn signals.

I always yell "There's a REASON God gave you a blinker!"

I know it makes no sense, but it's what I yell. What can I say.

How hard can it be for cashiers to say "thank you" after you make a purchase in their store/restaurant??  It ticks me off to no end the number of times I pay for stuff in a business and never, ever hear anyone say thank you.  I wish I could find a store that extended this simple, common courtesy to customers. furious

I yelled something a couple weeks ago that I thought made perfect sense:
"Be PREDICTABLE!"

I have been so surprised at our VG's grocery store. I'm not used to the friendliness but I DO welcome it! But go into Walmart and they hate their job and life. It's very apparent that the customers are an inconvenience.

You know who really hates their jobs?  People working at reststop fast food joints.  I've never been waited on by more miserable employees.

When I went car shopping I told the sales guy I didn't want those optional turn signals. no.gif I didn't need optional equipment like that running up the price of the car.

I usually give them a "nice turn signal" or "try a turn signal" usually followed by a "jackazz".

 I really started to notice this about five years ago or so.

When I was going through more fast food restaurants than I do today.

I was saying thank you after I ordered, I was saying thank you when they handed me my food.  But I bet if I got a thank you 1 in 10 times it was a lot.

That's one thing I have to say about NC, the people here are just naturally more polite.  Not all of them.  I've had a few clerks that acted like they're rather be clipping their toe nails than doing their job.  But the vast majority are friendly and polite.  It's a nice change of pace.

I've started telling them "your welcome" just to see the look on their face.  They're usually completely dumbstruck by it.

and, how hard can it be to even respond when you tell them thank you? some places they just look at you like you're from another planet! no response... just a blank stare.

laughing.gif  "Action Jackson" was on TV last night.  I didn't watch it - in fact, I've never seen it - but have always been aware of it because of Vanity.

I have done the same thing. They do seem startled by it.

JR - You will find that most southerners are polite. Sometimes, the further down south you go, the more polite they become.

I noticed when we were in Florida, it seemed like people in general were more polite. But, I don't know if that's just because we were doing touristy stuff instead of hanging with the general public.

I don't mean to offend anyone that lives in OK, but I have to disagree with this.  I spent 3 weeks down in Oklahoma, just west of OK City, and everywhere I went people weren't very nice to me.  As soon as I spoke, they knew I was from "the north" as they called it, and they became very rude to me.  Over and over I was called "yankee girl" and a few people told me to go back home where I belong.  cry
