Sometimes I'm outright cruel. A while ago a cassier at a hardware store asked me 'are you in our system yet?' I answered: 'no, I'm standing right here'. Another one I like to pull out is when people tell me they are looking in their computer. I typically point out that looking at the screen will be more helpfull >:D --- Quote from: Mechatrommer on January 27, 2024, 05:59:59 am ---right brainer: you should insist on bracketting... (fish + chip) & (salad | veggy) --- End quote --- In most restaurants you can order whatever you like as they charge for extra side dishes. Only on very rare occasions you'll be told you have to make a choice. |

At the Post Office, when they display the "does your parcel contain any hazardous materials" prompt, the YES button is green and the NO button is red. Guess what happens. |

Was walking around a local hospital while waiting on my mom to finish her appointment with a doctor in another building some years ago. Occasionally they would have tables set up to promote awareness of different health issues with pamphlets and such things to give away. One time they had a table with these things and two ladies behind it to talk to people. The table had a sign that said - Fall Prevention I thought about it for a second and said the following to the ladies - "I know you have good intentions, but there is no way to prevent Fall. It is caused by the orbit of the Earth and the tilt of its axis. You cannot in any way prevent Fall." One of the ladies thought about what I said and giggled a bit. The other one ... well let's just say she was not amused. :-DD |

It's not the Fall that is nasty; it's the cold hard that hits you when it ends. |
