When You Think You’ve Heard It All

RIGHT NOW!

What’s On: Kayne West, “Diamonds”

Current Mood:The current mood of CuzzinDave at www.imood.com


I have been working with the public all my life. I don’t think I’d have it any other way. If I had to be in a cubicle someplace and never see people and deal with the general public face to face, I just don’t think my life would ever have been the same.

The public adds a certain something to your life that you just can’t get any place else. When you think the public has done everything it can do to you, another day pops up and they do something else that can top the previous effort.

Case in point was a lady who came in with a pair of orthopedic shoes and said, “I want to bring these back, I don’t like them.”

She shows me the shoes and they looked liked they had been used to hike thru the Rockies. I asked, “When did you get them?”

“I got them here a year ago!”

“And now you decided you don’t like them?”

“They make my feet hurt.”

“When did they start making your feet hurt?” thinking she got at least half way up a mountain before hand.

“Last month.”

“But they were ok the previous 11 months?”

“I guess.”

“Well, did you think there is something wrong with your feet, not the shoes?”

“I dunno, I just don’t like them.” she hands me the shoe box. The shoe box was used for her grandson (in tow) to make a diaramma for a school project and the drawings were on the inside. So she handed me this beat up, yr old pair of shoes and a box used for a 3rd grade project for credit.

I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. I told her I can’t take a pair of shoes back after a year.

Later in the day, another lady filled out her personal information form and she listed a male name as her emergency contact. In the section that says, “Relationship” she lists him as “My Sweetheart”.

My guess is he fulfilled all 29 levels of compatibility on EHarmony! There is a full moon this week...
