I like tweed jackets and nice shoes -- all secondhand of course. I can pass for respectable, and I enjoy that.loobyhttps://loobynet.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570801609581631361.post-40015528559733367762018-02-05T08:43:50.546-08:002018-02-05T08:43:50.546-08:00you have more patience than i do... i've been ...you have more patience than i do... i've been that citizen, and i was hoppin' mad by the time i made my purchase.<br /><br />when my was-band and i were first married, he was a furry beast, and i was prone to go out in cutoff jean shorts. we needed to buy a wedding present for his richass sister, who had registered at a department store that happened to have a shop in a regional mall.<br /><br />so we went shopping, looked at her registry and decided to drop $200 on a Waterford crystal decanter. in 1982, that was a lot of scratch - still is.<br /><br />do you think we could get any of the women working in the expensive crystal department at Macy's to offer help? they were hovering just close enough to keep an eye on us in case we pocketed any of the expensive high ball glasses. finally, i picked up the display decanter, brought it to a register and asked "would any of you be willing to take our money for this?"<br /><br />i was younger then. now, i know that not only a bit of snark was in order, but names of managers, well-written letters/emails, and a bit of public shaming on social media can go a long way to feeling some satisfaction. but those snotty, judgmental types are always going to be there. being nice when they know they are being assholes is probably the best you can do...daisyfaehttp://daisyfae.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570801609581631361.post-76057941741910079452018-02-02T06:08:34.688-08:002018-02-02T06:08:34.688-08:00You should remind Upper Crust Snobs that they live...You should remind Upper Crust Snobs that they live in Allegheny County, for fuck's sake.

Listing with headphones and whippits. <br /><br />All that over-development will be good for your property value. Not much else. It draws an undesirable crowd.
