This behavior seems especially prevalent in senior ladies so now if they plunk down the stick and give me 'the look' that says "why didn't you put a stick down yourself, young man?" I pick up the stick and slide it way back in the holder rail where they cant reach it. Then I stand back and watch the look of panic on thier faces.


I place the space bar perpendicular to the belt sometimes. That unsettles people as well. And it will keep them from talking to you.

Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
