So, for a few weeks now, I have come across what I meant to say Wednesday hosted by Chief. Gosh it looks.....therapeutic. So of course, I HAD to try it out....believe me...you want to try it!
To the customer who thought that simply threatening her business would get her anything she wanted. Finally, finally after 30 minutes worth of a phone call where I kept giving in "I'm sorry we will be losing your business, M'aam. Have an nice day!"
What I MEANT to say was "listen you crazy b*&$%, if you are wondering why you are single and have no friends it is because you are sarcastic, mean, rude, and I am guessing even ugly. Why else would you feel the need to try to bully others to get what you want? Your measly 100 dollars is crap to this company, and while I understand word of mouth is important, I doubt anyone is listening to that screeching voice of yours anyway. And although I am flattered that you think I am SO powerful as to override the government and not make you pay taxes, I can only do so much. And really, I would have been able to help you out more, but since you are such a bully, I don't feel the need to go out of my way for YOU! So while you are going through life thinking you are getting your way by being such a meanie, I promise you that you would get a whole lot more if you were nice. Oh yeah, and take your business and shove it up your $^&! "
To my sweet hubby who was huffing and puffing after bringing the groceries in I simply said "thanks" and then said nothing when he went to relax while I finished up and put away the groceries.
What I MEANT to say was "oh please! Suck it up tough man! This is nothing. Usually the scenario is more like this though. I go to the store to buy two carts worth of groceries while the kids get restless because we have been doing errands all day. I can't separate them, because they are in the same cart, and I don't get to distract Little Man by going over to play with toys and racing down the aisles. I then get to unload the groceries at check-out by MYSELF while the kids play with the toys that they put right at kid level (hey, you don't want them to touch them, don't put them there.). I then get to put them all in the car, with the kids MYSELF. I then get to carry the sleeping children in one by one. I then get to unload the groceries by MYSELF, and put them away by MYSELF. You have only done one of these things. Want to know why you don't hear me mention it? BECAUSE IT IS NO BIG DEAL! IT IS PART OF EVERYDAY LIFE. Again, suck it up tough man."
Sigh, now that this is off my chest....what did you mean to say?
21 of you are the "cool kids":
Ohh the grocery thing is so right on!! Suck it up is right!! Why do these guys want a pat on the back for something we do allll theeee time??
I love this! Although, I have a tendency to say what I mean all the time...it gets me in trouble alot, but man, it feels good! lol!
Men don't get it...
and Meanie has prolly got her way one to many times, so she continues to behave that way.
Nice! I'm not quite brave enough to say what I really wanted to say to some people and publish it. I'm proud of you!
Hi Vicki!
I actually tell people to have a nice day when they are annoying me all the time. It really ticks them off that you aren't feeding into their frenzy :) heeeheee
Thanks for working so hard on the comment challenge!
damn...I left a comment earlier from my iPod...and it's not here!! I think I said something about the crazy men who think they need a pat on the back for doing something we do everyday!! No pats coming from me!
:)
It amazes me that people think they can be mean and still get what they want. I would much rather tell a mean customer to suck it than have to deal with them ever again!
Ha ha!!! You go girl...get that off your chest. I hear you on all of that...too much to relate to! Men are total wimps. They can't handle half of what we do on a daily basis!
Oh I feel your pain on the grocery thing! Today when we got back from the market it took me at least 40 million trips to haul in all the stuff.
I feel the same way about both topics. When I managed a movie theater, I had a lot of discretion. When someone had an issue and they were kind, I would often give them passes and/or a refund even if it didn't directly require it. But if they were rude, especially to my staff, I would not. I would never be rude but I simply said that I was sorry for their experience. I will not allow people to be mistreated on my watch. I have worked in multiple customer service related professions and I wish I could tell those people that honey really is more effective than vinegar. I know that they think they are getting what they want, but they're not. They don't even know what they are missing out on. So nice guys do win! :-)
And my husband does make a big production when he does things that I do ALL the time. Sometimes, I just want so "Really? Really? But I never do say anything.
:-)

HA!!! Loved this. You've got to feel better now!
hahahah YES! this was fun, thanks.
gah my hubby is the same way! It kills me! lol
Ah, the monkey juggle at the grocery store. Exhausting, isn't it?
I have a blog award for you over on my site!

I love this :) I feel with you!
Oh girl he helped bring in the groceries? LOL Rick just steps over them and then "relaxes" on the couch. REALLY dude! I shop at this great store but it's a once week go the whole thing. And they don't have baggers so they shove it all down at the end so run to this long convayer belt bag then run back up pay go back to bagging while they try to ring up the next person! Yup breaking a sweat ... lol Then you come home and oh guess what you get to unload! UGH
I know you work at home, but you should have added to what you would have said to your husband that you do all that AND you do it in heels. I would love a man to just do a fraction of what women have to do while wearing heels, pantyhose, and some Spanx. He might learn how good he has it.
I know! Its Friday and Im barely visiting. I suck
Thanks for playing... I will be better next week!
Haha! I love this! I was at Home Depot yesterday, picking out some garden stones. An old lady came over and chewed me out for not making one of the "strapping young men" help me. It was 5 pounds lady. I think I can handle it! LOL!
LOL

man..so much I would LOVE to say to some people.
