Yeah I know. Sending them the bill anyway lets them know you are not the fool they think you are whether you get satisfaction or not. It's the principle of it all.

What I meant was........was this guy the same one that was on your "S" list earlier, or was he the one on the other side of your house? The one earlier would be on my "S" llst too. I'm just trying to orient(ate) myself.

0 You can say shit. It's OK here.
Mr. Giggles with mosquito farm next door was on the shit list. We're working on his yard for him to keep our yard bug free. Dave is on the other side and a friend. I just got pissed at how pissed he got when I told him his friend was a rip off artist. Seemed to be a bit over protective of the guy IMO. ![]()

And I certainly will,.............when I deem it necessary. However, using the four letter A-S words are designed to drive home a point, like shouting in one's ear. Here on this forum, the four letter words have become so 'plain Jane' that they no longer have the impact abbreviating them do. Does that tell you something? That's also why I like to use "Buggering" and "Bleeding". Both are bad swear words to Brits, but they are not as profane to us. Therefore, I prefer to use them, because they have more impact.

0 But what about the Brits that are members here? By your reasoning it's OK to swear as long as you inflict the pain on someone else to avoid it for Americans?

![]() I swear to make a point, but not generally or in company, it's just not exceptable more so if children are about. Kids pick up too quickly! No1 son never used to swear but the factory he works in and his biker friends made it inevitable he would. His father totally disapproves of him using it in the house (or rather in front of his mother- not that she minds she gets worse at work from the clients) His father next to never swears (unless working on the car) There was once a comedy series on TV with an elderly couple with their grown up son still living at home. Everytime he swore one of them would use the phrase 'Language Timothy!' ![]() We use this to let someone know they are out of order, mostly No1 son internet friends when he talks to them live. The 'Language Timothy' had to be explained to Virgil in Oregon- the poor lad was profusely apologetic. I do find it strange to be refered to a Ma'am or Mark as Sir. Our kids don't use it here, but refer to adults by their title Mr H and Mrs H, until invited to use a first name. No 1 son's school friend still called Mark, Mr Hodges until only recently when I told him it was OK to call him Mark. ![]() 0 Walmart employees piss me off. I realize most are going to be that way, but it really sets it up for ridicule when the manager talks to me like I am one of the retards too. I don't think he realizes I was doing some real hard, complicated shit that is beyond the courage of many men to even achieve in an occupation that ceased barely a year ago. That yes, I can use a radio with proper etiquette (whereas everyone else speaks all slobbery and cuts each other off, but somehow, I am not qualified to do this yet), that I can follow directions, and that I can figure out things quite easily. Most importantly, that I can work on my own with little to no supervision without problems in getting things done.
I feel for Walmart managers, but I think I dropped enough polite hints that I don't need to be shepherded around with the rest of the dumbfucks. At least this is only a part-time summer job till semester kicks in. I think I get ammo discounts after a couple of months. This is crucial. I've also come to realize just how different life has made me compared to most folks on campus, and at plain hourly jobs. Its somewhat cool, yet disturbing.

0 Good luck with that, Gunnen. The WalMarts around here hire more downs syndrome people than not. I find them to be more polite, helpful and knowledgeable than the 'regular's' hired. Sad, isn't it?
