In reply to lisleman.

FYI, I wanted to comment on your post today about how that George clip is one of my all time favorites, but I’m at work and your comments aren’t loading for me here. I thought I’d drop you a line this way because I know I won’t remember to come back later.

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

When we see each other, you are going to get accosted by yet another Asian lady. 😉 (Only that I am not tiny at all…)

Love this Monday feature of yours. The comment about differences between men and women? Absolutely true.

I just love what that little Asian lady did. So cute! I hope you didn’t mind too much 🙂

I also really love that story about your aunt; I’m a little choked up now. Sweet.

I learned that same lesson the hard way too. Lisleman hit the nail on the head. Sometimes…make that most of the time, I don’t need to respond. I just need to keep my mouth shut. I just need to keep my big mouth shut. As in shut. Just sayin’.

And I hate it when I have a computer problem, and when an “expert” checks it out, they say “I’ve never seen this before”. GRRRRRRRRR

Oh, don’t get me started on people who like to complain, I get them all the time, and no, they are not looking for advice. Some people just seem to get some sort of high from complaining. Well I can tell you this much, it does nothing for me!

Good post!

The little asian lady hugging you because of your height is cracking me up! I just get little old ladies in Wal-Mart asking me to get things off of the top shelves for them (I’m 6’0″).

I think the thing that bothers me about some people’s reactions to my height is that they assume I’m not “girly,” or think I’m thicker-skinned than I am. You know, I’m tall like a dude, so they can treat me like a dude and not a lady. Or maybe that has nothing to do with my height at all, and it’s just my perception.

Wow, 5’10”? I don’t know why, but I never pictured you that tall. Go fig. Gotta love the little Asian woman hugging you though. I actually may have a post brewing on something similar. Thanks – I needed the inspiration! 🙂

I like that idea of the complaint bureau. You know of course the complainers would be complaining about the small fee too. SMILE

I’m soooo glad you shared that story here. I’ve be meaning to tell you how much it cracked me up. I read it on my phone at a red light and thought I was going to have to pull the car over, I was laughing so hard! – G

thanks for including our comment exchange. I’m glad you pointed out a very simple thing that many guys just don’t get right away.
Computer/machine problems – troubleshooting an intermittent problem is the toughest type of servicing. Even when you are the one who built the system it can be difficult. Once you can reproduce it you can usually focus in on the problem.
Maybe those IT people need to practice more listening skills too.

Sometimes I like commenting more than blogging. I dig this post every Monday.
