From what he said to me after we talked for a bit, I feel that he made it out that I was wrong about the coupon and he said that they'd "Talk to the marketing department and that's about it really" I was ready to explode after that conversation, I said that this was in their flyer on THEIR website and as well, you could see the coupon in their flyer in Flypp and completely disregarded anything about their site and said that "oh, Flypp is only for price matching there isn't any coupons in it", I was ready to punch him through the phone. He honestly didn't seem to care about what I was telling him. I may email back the Customer Help Line to complain about the store again!!! :rant:
I AM DONE WITH THIS STORE!
But, just like two people approaching from the opposite direction, you and your dog get half the sidewalk. If that means you have to tighten up on the leash, so be it.Quote:

You stay on your side of the sidewalk and I'll stay on mine. Things work really well that way.

I don`t mean I`m going to Rambo my way through a group of elderly folk with their walkers, I just think it's rude if you expect me to dodge out of the way so you can tip toe through.
Seen it with women and strollers too - both chatting, walking side by side.. can you not for 5 seconds move behind your friend so someone can walk past?
It's just simple manners, isn't it? As a dog-walker who will stand still and hold her dog in closely to let a parent with her child go by, I thank you. Usually this results in lots of smiles and laughs. It does bother me, though, when parents with strollers walk side-by-side on the sidewalk and refuse to move to single-file while we pass each other.Quote:

They may move, they may not, but at least I get my point across.
The general public's stupidity never seizes to annoy me - but yet here I am.
If your child has head lice, don`t let them try on a Xmas hat and leave it on the god damn shelf.

I`ve been kissed by an angel, friends.
if it's fabric, or goes on your head, you don't share it.. hats, jackets, sweaters...lice freaks me out.. it's one of those things i'm crazy paranoid about, it is the sole reason my daughter wears her hair in a braid every day, i have even taken to telling her to keep her jacket IN her backpack if she is not wearing it.. i dread it and fear it (i even bought a robi comb) Lice is soo common at schools now a days it seems, and there is always 1 or 2 parents who just shrug it off and act like it's no big deal to treating it and prevent it from spreading (my daughter's gr 1 class had a child who had lice for most of the year, and the schools hands are pretty much tied when it comes to treating it because it's no longer considered a "health issue")Quote:

DD was so grossed out by the whole thing that now she's the one who takes precautions against getting them again.
Mice...saw one in our garage last week. I am not afraid of many things but mice just creep me out. I can't go in the garage now, my husband and kids are tired of having to go in there to get food out of the freezer for me!!
Will the neighbour agree to lock their cat in your garage for a few days? ;)Quote:
