If you work in retail here's 2(or more! LOL)! When you say "Hi can I help you?" and they give you the hold on a minute finger because they came walking in talking on their phone! Or when they come up to the counter to be waited on talking on the phone! They say something to me then to the person on the phone then back to me....what? Seriously, I don't want to try and follow your phone conversation just to figure out if your talking to me or them! It's so rude! Cell phones can be a great thing but in my opinion they can be a great tool for rudeness!!! Ohh heres another one!!! When your trying to explain an answer to a question asked and the person gets a text or call and just picks up the phone like your not even there!!!

Ok I'll stop now!! LOL! I could go on and on!!!

On a side note the other day I was standing in front of the store and 4 teen boys got out of a car and all picked up their phones at the same time and hung up at the same time! It was so creepy!! Kinda like a Sci-Fi movie! LOL!!!

Oh yes...cell phones. Love 'em, hate 'em. I was having lunch one day with a friend, and there was a young couple sitting across from us that I couldn't help but notice. The young man was on his cell phone yabbering away the entire meal...his companion just sat there and ate quietly...she may as well of been dining alone. Me, I wanted to tell her to get up and walk out...if he would rather talk to someone who isn't in the room with him, then let him...he didn't need an audience for that, and that is all she was.

R----U----D----E----!!!

People who have horses but don't geld them and have no intention of using them for breeding.

I was in the feed store today and a couple came up and asked about a weight builder supplement. I asked them what they were trying to "fatten up", said a paso fino. Man proceeds to tell me that they give it all this hay and grain and it out with a bunch of minis. Come to find out it is an 18 month old stallion (won't geld because he doesn't believe in it) and he is in with another stallion (mini) and didn't tell me if there were any mares around or not. Too much information and at this point I am starting to get a little loud in my voice. Tell the couple that maybe the mini is boss and won't let the paso eat "ya think" the man said

. I ask is the paso walking the fence and acting a little up more than usual etc. (stud behavior etc) "well yea" he said.

I said are you planning on using him as a stud, "no" he said. I said gee, maybe you should call your vet and get the horse gelded and maybe ask about a feeding program suited for the horse. Sorry I gotta go!

Here's another one for me...

I like to grocery shop late at night to avoid the crowds...but I find that every store employee I pass asks, "Can I help you?" even if they heard me tell another employee "No, I'm fine."

I know....I'm asocial...but I just want to shop in peace! I'll ask if I need help.
