he was fascinated by the nipples on her face


My auto correct takes the NSFW words out, and puts PG words in.

Off to Costco, and if I play my cards right I will be able to skip lunch thanks to the free samples. :cool:
 
And don't get me started on the little kids that are always running amok!

FFS a man can't even push his buggy around in peace in that place.
 
Who cares about the people listening/watching. :eek::D if you have the stage, own it. :). People have 'paid good money to watch you on it' ( or come to the office and spend time making a coffee to bring to the meeting room). So own the stage and work it. :)

If you have to remember the other people then of it not as being uncomfortable yourself, but being a good host and making the other people there feel comfortable and appropriate.

Welcome them in, give them some pretty pictures and a big smile and then.....give them your lines. Dress in appropriate costume for the occasion....its not an act, but it is a performance. :)

( omg, I feel like I have turned into the annoying boss from the office. Which I didn't even watch. I just really enjoy some aspects of public speaking/presenting)



Dear God.

Just reading that gave me an anxiety attack.
 
Having established I am reasonably open minded...:eek::mad:. I really hate it when people feed their children in the supermarket as they walk around or are sitting in the trolley. I think it teaches poor self discipline and respect for property and its not theirs until they have paid for it. I find it really 'upsetting' . If time has worked out so badly, nip in, buy an apple/ whatever, sit outside, eat the apple/whatever, go in and do the shop. Or go to the horrid supermarket cafe.

I love kids who run to get a thing on the list and run back. It might be a little annoying for other shoppers, but they are learning to read, to be helpful, to be resourceful. As they grow they learn better manners of avoiding people.


Like the eating kids, there is a supermarket in uk which offers it a card holders free coffee and newspaper. Its considered 'upmarket' supermarket, and it is my favourite, but I dislike going now, because while I do not hold by some silly rules of etiquette,( I.e. I like some street food) I do find it vaguely bizarre that people cannot waddle round a supermarket without a cup of coffee. As they lean in to the fridge section or freezers, or spill it it on other shoppers. I guess I just do not see supermarket shopping as a leisure experience. :confused:

Phew. So much supermarket rage. :eek:

I don't know if you have Costco where you are. They are monuments to American excess. HUGE stores with everything from tires to tacos. It's not a shopping trip, it's a shopping experience. The foodstuffs they sell are packaged in rather large lots... like a gallon of mustard or 1000 paper plates.

It's a mix of small businesses buying stuff for resale, and cheap bastards like me buying enough artichoke hearts to last a year. And Aphro who goes to clog up the store because there is a free bite-size piece of hot dog.

I think it's quite the opposite with us Americabs, we have not learned the art of leasurely dining. We're always eating and having coffee on the run.
 
I have never been to one, but google says there is costco here. I just read your sig line. Sei Italiano? Storms are my favourite weather.

My dad's family is Italian, but he's not much into "foreign" heritage. Mom's family is Scots-Irish, but she's not observant either. We, as a family unit, are Appalachian-American. Although, I did live in Italy for three years when in my early 20s

This is one of the things I most admire while traveling overseas. No coffee to go. No drive-thru's. No eating on the run. The rest of the world takes wonderful advantage of not only slowing the pace down, but also taking vacations, keeping family close and learning not only a second language, but often three or four.

I agree. Hopefully we will evolve. It's been far too long since I have been overseas. I'm over due. I miss the beauty in everything. Not only the people but in every little detail from the park benchs to the curb your dog signs.
