My first 'run-in' with a rude user when before the phones became as prominent as now. I was a clerk in a department store. The woman was on on the phone when she came to the desk, handed me her items continuing her conversation. Guess I figured out what she wanted because I was able to finish and give her her Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05509271400187482171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-19011166556395275942009-12-06T20:40:31.153-05:002009-12-06T20:40:31.153-05:00Martha, I can't believe that the parents of th...Martha, I can't believe that the parents of the crying child wouldn't leave the chapel at the funeral.
