BobKay connoisseur Registered: 03/23/10 Posts: 3596 Loc: Massachusetts Badlands	Women in line in front of you at a checkout who wait until they're told the final amount before they even BEGIN to open their handbag...then their purse...then their change purse... Next, they look back at the amount, then their brain engages (really, if it's quiet, you can hear it!), then OMFG, here it comes, they begin to speak----interrogatively! _________________________ Always call the place you live a house.

Upon waiting ridiculous amounts of time, I have been know to hand the cashier a dollar and tell them to keep the change. _________________________ With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

Whew! You can still hit me with a baton. Just please change the label(s). Thank you. _________________________ Always call the place you live a house.
