When someone won't take one of my business cards when I offer it. People like to take one, look at it, tell me the logo's cute, and give it back. No, its a business card, you're supposed to keep it. People act like I'm making a big sacrifice when I tell them no really, they can keep it. It's a business card, I have hundreds.

Gee Sparky, sorry to hear that. Common sense is a lost trait in the country. That and REAL customer service. A business I have my investments with, needs to council their representatives. I had to talk with a manager to iron out the problems. I can tell you from experience - managers do not like to be bothered. Keep us out of your workspace, by doing things right the first time!

My friend's birthday is Saturday, I was making her present and it messed up. Now I have to go out and get more materials to do it over tomorrow (because its too late to get them today) and hope I get it done in time. -_-

I'm sorry, but this punk really rubs me the wrong way. I'd love to get my hands on him for five minutes.

Very true; I've had stuff stolen and it's pretty upsetting. It really annoys me that people are turning this punk into some kind of folk hero. He's no hero; he's a criminal, period, and nothing more.

Another two-bit person the media wants to "romanticize."

I see that you and I are going to get along just fine.

Nothing in particular ticking me off today, although having to call the cab company twice for a ride home was annoying. The Bishop's Corner area is very well known, it can't be that hard to find.
