Hiya all. I had to go out and put a few miles on my sneakers and regulate my breathing 🙂 I’m annoyed that I let this issue annoy me this much! Argh! Anywhoo…was anything resolved? Does the OT now have a limit of topics?
No, I don’t think you’re wrong. It does seem ungrateful.
“but I’ve never found a proprietor of any business to be grateful for my purchases (which directly feed him/her)”
You’re buying stuff in the wrong places. Granted, this doesn’t occur everywhere, but I have several places I go to buy things (my barber, the doggie daycare place I sometimes take my dog, my dry cleaner, the local bodega guy who sells me off-price cigarettes) where the people in various ways express their appreciation for my services. That’s whay I continue to patronize these places. You need to find some new places to shop, Troy.
There’s only one dave, sam. This amateur will hardly be able to keep up. Besides, he’ll have to get back to his post at Target soon or his mother will pop into his room and see he’s not doing his homework.
I agree, ENY…I’ve had lots of places appreciate the business, and not just a recent phenomenon either.

“Am I wrong or does this seem really ungrateful?”
No, I don’t think you’re wrong. It does seem ungrateful.

Perhaps it should be called the malarkey thread so people don’t get the wrong idea. Or the codswallop thread.
Where did Snappy go? Did she take all this personally?
This is all malarkey, I say!
oh right, dave and david….
I knew that dave would not write something as idiotic as “chalk-full” -ha!
….what a maroon!
