What's it all about?
Probably been mentioned before but I wanted to rant on a few things that seem to have been more obivouus to me and my other half lately...
Like going into a candle store and someone asks if they can help you. What the heck? Are you supposed to respond with "yes, I'm looking for some cheese!!!!".... what's it all about... And when you do get asked in any store if you need help, and you REALLY do need help, the person gives you a blank stare cause they don't really know the answer to anything!! What's it all about... Like I'm sitting at a table 30 feet away from 2 women talking who are sitting right next to each other and YET, I can hear every friggin word they say.... !! What's it all about? Hershey's chocoloate taste's like puke and yet every American seems to love it!! Why do American women have to wear a sweater to represent the time of the year (Halloween and now Christmas). Don't these women know a Christmas "cardigan" on a 30 year old attractive women is about as attractive as dogs earwax! Any more? |
Re: What's it all about?
The one I like is when you check out at the register, and they ask you "Did you find everything OK?" and if you reply "Couldn't find a thing" they just stare blankly at you. All good fun really..

It is better than going into a store in England and being ignored by the staff until they finish their conversation about who got pissed and puked up on saturday night. Regarding the jumpers - yes, silly americans, bless em.

Maybe it's my jocular demeanour with them that means they arent surly back?
