The drooling is part of the shopping, and if we go too fast we miss the objects of our drool!<br /><br />Well, there you go, rude is rude is rude. I wonder if the smirker didn't know the directions you asked and was chicken (too macho) to admit it.<br /><br />And thanks! If you find it I will be eternally grateful!!Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-20460529940573165172009-07-23T05:07:25.426-06:002009-07-23T05:07:25.426-06:00Hey, I noticed my comment didnt get saved on your ...Hey, I noticed my comment didnt get saved on your previous post - but I am going to keep an eye out for the cereal here and will let you know if I see it.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01307762555108511788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-13426700330547781222009-07-23T05:06:47.364-06:002009-07-23T05:06:47.364-06:00TJ shopping cannot be hurried, because of all the ...TJ shopping cannot be hurried, because of all the good, new things you can find. I feel sorry for those people rushing it. I am usually oblivious to the ppl around me - I bet they are clearing their throats and giving me the hairy eyeball while I am drooling all over the gingersnaps or ice cream sandwiches.<br />Also, I've had to ask for directions in Dothan a few times and was amazed at how rude the ppl were - one guy just smirked at me and got in his car. I've had better luck in my own city of 4 million ppl.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01307762555108511788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-41802978358235471862009-07-22T22:13:21.922-06:002009-07-22T22:13:21.922-06:00Kathi, working where you do, I don't doubt it ...<b>Kathi</b>, working where you do, I don't doubt it at all!

But they are awfully full of themselves so .... I think a lot of that depends on the individual officer. You're lucky to have the one you do!<br /><br /><b>Dave</b>, perhaps that is some of it, the me-first snobbery. That tends to lessen, I think, when everyone in town will know if you're a jerk. Although, there are still a couple of people who don't seem to get that!Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-804608144347843272009-07-22T19:13:24.350-06:002009-07-22T19:13:24.350-06:00We live in a smaller town that is a bedroom commun...We live in a smaller town that is a bedroom community of a much larger town, so we get a little atmosphere from both. Unfortunately, at least according to my wife, the upscale folks reside in both and usually have a me-first attitude in public. So I don't see much difference here. Maybe if we drove 20 miles or so into farm country the pace would slacken and people would be more polite.Big Dave Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18363712781308133633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-71011969980463173592009-07-22T18:20:28.106-06:002009-07-22T18:20:28.106-06:00I live in a small town also so small that our poli...I live in a small town also so small that our police dept has half day on sunday off and all day monday off. Going to Erie or Pittsburgh (two big citys) I have noticed a change in behaviour also. The police here if they are not responding to a call will say follow me and take you to your location as in Pittsburgh we stopped a officer and he gave us directions but they werent very good. I have also noticed differences in peoples behaviour too here we are laid back not Erie or Pittsburgh even Meadville is a rush city (they arent very big either).Bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03688695112255946382noreply@blogger.com
