That's the snow grooming equipment. I could just ride right the hell over people who were driving too slow.<BR/><BR/>TJ- Yeah, it is an awful lot of trouble. And I would just never win. Ever.<BR/><BR/>Junebee- Yeah, the Red Cross is non-religous I'm fairly certain, Doctors Without Borders, and there are others.

For e...Ok, guys, the phone calls are not that hard. For example, you want to find out if a store or restaurant is open, so you call the store or restaurant, and someone answers the phone. Of course, it's stupid to say:"Uhhh, are you open?" So instead you say "What are your hours today?" Easy enough.<BR/><BR/>I like the non-religious charity thing. I didn't know there were any.junebeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09643918373871295413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621502.post-1130879754399715972005-11-01T14:15:00.000-07:002005-11-01T14:15:00.000-07:00I'd be better off if I DIDN'T know how to buy lott...I'd be better off if I DIDN'T know how to buy lottery tickets, because I always always always lose. However, if I buy one for my daughter to scratch off, she wins. I'm trying to figure out how to get her to buy a Powerball since they have the age limit and all....<BR/><BR/>And if I won, I'd just quit working a lay on the couch for about a month. Just so I could have some time without 50 people needing shit from me all the time. Dutch Oven would have to keep working, though- just to keep him out of the ouse while I'm relaxing.<BR/><BR/>I would also buy a helicopter to take Lil Cowgirl to school in the mornings that I could land on the soccer field. Then she wouldn't be late all the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621502.post-1130875995704791662005-11-01T13:13:00.000-07:002005-11-01T13:13:00.000-07:00Phil- Oh, the RV thing is a dream of mine, too! G...Phil- Oh, the RV thing is a dream of mine, too! Great pun. I'm a big fan of puns. In fact I'm wishing I could make one right now, but...eh, nothings coming to me. :-)<BR/><BR/>Amy- I can't stand calling people either! And I HATE doctor's appointments. But, with calling people, I get all flustered and feel stupid when I'm trying to order food over the phone. I usually end up trying to make lame jokes that fall flat on their face, and when the delivery person finally comes around with whatever I managed to successfully or unsuccessfully order, they kind of back away slowly...Heh.<BR/><BR/>Librarian- That I am going to have to try! I can't get Zube Boy to buy the lotto tickets because he things they're stupid, which, well, they kind of are. But I mean, the possibility of winning millions and only putting forth $10. I hate passing it up.<BR/><BR/>T~ I have done similar things! I am SO nonconfrontational when it comes to customer service. I think it is due to having been a waitress, a cashier, and now working in a hotel, I'm fraught with fear at the thought of being *THAT* customer. The one I myself hate.Zubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10625067612757615790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621502.post-1130875409873892602005-11-01T13:03:00.000-07:002005-11-01T13:03:00.000-07:00lol I just read librarian's response, and I sooo t...lol I just read librarian's response, and I sooo totally do that too! but i also do it when i'm dissatified with something but afraid to speak up... For example:<BR/><BR/>A while back I bought a cake that looked like it had been thrown on the floor. I paid for it silently and left... The next morning, i called and made a fuss saying that i had sent my daughter in to pick it up for me, and her not knowing better just took it. I went on to explain how appalled i was and yada yada... lol well, it worked that time... but i always use the excuse that i'm there for someone else when i'm uncomfortable with something....t~https://www.blogger.com/profile/00884251014468121039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621502.post-1130874317866909932005-11-01T12:45:00.000-07:002005-11-01T12:45:00.000-07:00Ah-ha!

SO, I did what I always do when I'm in a zone I'm unfamiliar with. I walked up to the desk and said, "Hi, my mom, the lottery addict, sent me to get her Power Ball tickets and I've never bought one in my life. How's this go?" And despite the fact that it was Wisconsin and I can never get a decent set of directions from anyone in Wisconsin EVER, she helped me and I bought $10 worth of tickets, which, obviously, didn't win.<BR/><BR/>Blame it on someone else! Say you don't partake of this, but someone sent you!

I also have a list of things that make me incredibly nervous as well, like taking my car in to have it repaired or even have the tires rotated, doctor's appointments (my blood pressure shoots up and my heart starts pounding), and I have caller ID on my phone so I never have to answer the phone and be caught off-guard by who is on the other end, making phone calls other than for social reasons makes me so nervous that it takes me several minutes to work myself up to picking up the phone. I'm very strange... I know.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597757133961564017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621502.post-1130861213564628502005-11-01T09:06:00.000-07:002005-11-01T09:06:00.000-07:00Around here, to buy a Lotto ticket, you gotta use ...Around here, to buy a Lotto ticket, you gotta use an automated machine. Makes it even harder, because if you have questions, you gotta ask another customer.<BR/><BR/>Lotto things on your list (haha! did you like that pun?) are on mine, too. If I played the lottery, that is. But one of the first things I'd do is buy an RV and tour the country. Just so I could say I did it.<BR/><BR/>Phil<BR/>http://nomadechoes.blogdrive.comPhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11335520287026507876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621502.post-1130856367801091542005-11-01T07:46:00.000-07:002005-11-01T07:46:00.000-07:00PaintingChef and Baba- I can't even tell you how R...PaintingChef and Baba- I can't even tell you how RELIEVED I am to know that I'm not alone! Wow. It's nice to know you're not the only weirdo.<BR/><BR/>I'll go into 7-11 with every intention of buying a lotto ticket when it's a big one, then by the time I get to the register, I'm all flustered and get a pack of gum instead.Zubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10625067612757615790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621502.post-1130855783423851162005-11-01T07:36:00.000-07:002005-11-01T07:36:00.000-07:00Toll booths and buying lottery tickets cause me ma...Toll booths and buying lottery tickets cause me mass amounts of panic and anxiety too!!PaintingChefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13138633385695540416noreply@blogger.com
