Why is it that the good ones are all already taken? It reminds me of a junior high school dance (which I failed to attend due to reasons which still cause me guilt). ;)
The last girl I tried to flirt with on here was also married. It does not seem fair. I told her that the only reason I could think that she would be married was that there must be no God. That was only about half a joke.
Then again, we don't need any more troubles in River City. There are enough as it is.
I work as a cashier at a retail job part time. I sometimes have customers talking on their cell phone at my register which makes it difficult for me to conduct my business if I need information from them.
I don't see it as amusing. I don't want to be in line behind that person. But that happens more and more often.
It's very rude.
I know, but in retail I'm expected (by my bosses and the customers) to be polite to everyone, rude or not. Some days I just don't get paid enough.
[batting eyes] Kind sir I am truly honored. I do believe this is the first time I've been flirted with on-line. Don't give up hope, there is someone out there who's single, is just as turned off about bad cell phone etiquette and will convince you that there really is a God. In the mean time here's a photo of me, my husband won't mind.
Just kidding!
I hate it when people used them on buses, or restaurant and have loud conversations that everyone can't help hearing. Oh, of course I have one but it's the only phone I have because, see above.
I do own a cell phone but I use it only for emergencies or road trips. I think we should all start carrying water pistols and take out the offending chatterers.
Yepper! Also my bidniz like today, when some fat broad in a junker (yeah, was she insured?) almost plowed into me as I approached a main road - she was palming the wheel with one hand wiht a cell phone in the other. Came all the way into my lane. If I'd been 2 seconds earlier...
I agree, but there are many boorish, inconsiderate, thoughtless morons out there.
Harry, I've got a hot one for you... my-ex. I'll send her phone number... you'll hate me forever.
And yeah, Harry, the good ones are taken and stay that way!
HA! Excellent. Would love to.
Madame, may I suggest you paint a face on your butt & walk on your hands.
We might be able to make a trade here. About 24 hours before our wedding, my ex- suddenly turned into the most vicious pesron I've ever met. If she hadn't been pregnant, I would have called it off.
I could say more, but it would be improper on a public forum. Let's just say that I'm not sure which one of us would be getting the short end of that deal.
She does have a pretty nice body -- but so does a rattlesnake. She also has most of what used to be my money. If you can manage to squeeze it out her, more power to you!
As a bonus, you may also have my son. He's going on 30, and I don't think he has held a job for more than 30 minutes. Certainly not long enough to ever earn a penny.
Maybe in my next life.
You may now officially consider yourself to have been flirted with -- by a rhesus monkey,
She left unexpectedly Jan. 17 (my bday) 2004. Jan. 30 I lost my job. 'been hell... just hell.
BTW, I could tell ya stories about vicious, lieing, cheating, money stealing... but then of course could you.
Freepmail me if ya wanna talk, amigo.
I think it's a normal adaptation that people who are having trouble either hearing the other person or being heard will increase their voice. In most face-to-face or landline-phone situations, this has the desired useful effect. Cell phones, however, are another story.
I couldn't agree more. I live in a tourist town and you would not believe the number of accidents because people were on the phone and not paying attention. We're talking major fender benders, pedestrian deaths, etc. Last year, a family of five were killed because some young toots was paying attention to her boyfriend instead of the road. This is not unique here, sad to say.
that is an exciting story, Harry......thx.......lol
