If I am in a store (Walmart) for which you do not directly work and I am trying to read the features of an unrelated product, do not interrupt me and ask me who my internet provider is. It's none of your business, unless I ask you for a quote. I don't give a flying **** what your sales quota is. I am so beyond being tired of being constantly solicited for things unrelated to my shopping. Real life needs an ad blocker. How about when they ambush-spray you with some hideous cologne?! I avoid department stores (the few that are left, in my neck of the woods) because of perfume snipers. We don't have much of that left, here. In the last 5 years, the city has lost JC Penny, Sears, Bergners and Macys, with only Kohls, Target, Walmart, Meiers, and Von Maur left. The disappeared stores still exist 60 miles away, in another city, so it had to be due to the rental rates at our mall. That place is a ghost town, with no anchor stores left. One was replaced by a health club. The Spirit Halloween store occupied a floor of Bergners, last season and occupies the vacant Toys R Us store, this season, in the strip mall across the road. The worst part in the aforementioned encounter was that it was my internet provider, whose customer service sucks (but is par for the course) and most alternatives are no better, in terms of the actual service provided. Ours cuts out frequently; sometimes due to the router, sometimes due to interruptions in the signal. It gets annoying and we have badgered them into credits on our account for interrupted service. The idiot who was bugging me was lucky I just told them to mind their own business instead of going off on their poor service for all passersby to hear.

Not their fault they have such a crappy job bothering people but some of them seem to ignore the polite rules of engagement and keep "pushing" even after you say no or following you as you attempt to walk away. Then, I REALLY ENJOY being obnoxiously loud and annoying back at them with saying the "bad" things of their company or service so other shoppers around them will hear and/or applaud my shooting them down.

I merely alternate between the two while watching Match Game '76 re-runs. The BF left this morning so I can say I was drowning my sorrows.

I'm with you. Wanna start a cult? Hey, I'll join a chili cult - although I prefer the made-from-scratch over the canned variety... Being single it's quickest for me to use 1 can of chili as a base and then add to it! Heard of not drinking the Kool-Aid from cults but now we can add don't eat the chili! Death by methane?!?

My dear brother is now Cancer-Free ... he is given a clean bill of health and eating just fine and now is eating 4 meals a day and a light snack and can't eat anything about a hour before going to bed. He has no problem having his food goes down and all that. He is cleared to go back to work next Monday and work 32 hours a week for 3 months and up to a normal 40 hours plus overtime up to 8 if his boss asked him to. I saw him last Thursday and just got the word today that he is now cancer-free. So happy for you, Mech, and glad to hear your brother kicked cancer's ass! Hopefully the two of you get many more years to spend together now.

I saw him last Thursday and just got the word today that he is now cancer-free. So happy for you, Mech, and glad to hear your brother kicked cancer's ass! Hopefully the two of you get many more years to spend together now. I was talking to my other brother who is a medical expert in my family and he told me that he followed everything to the letter to combat it. He had a list of foods that battles cancer and one of the foods is beets. I eat beets regularly and he started to eat them pretty much for breakfast and they are easy to swallow and works wonder for him. I just grateful that he is able to kick it and did a right way to combat it. He lost 15 pounds during this ordeal and that's another blessing for him too. Anyway, it was a difficult thing to go through and he was tired pretty much every time that I see him. We all going to our favorite restaurant on Sunday to celebrate his ordeal and looking forward getting back to work. His road to recovery was unbelievably fast and did everything that the Doctor told him to do and then some. He really listen to my other brother that's a medical expert and that's did the trick. I sometimes join him for support and don't say much and let my other brother do the talking; and give him the support that he needs. It wasn't easy ... but he kicked it and I was totally shocked how fast it was a real blessing for me and my family that endured this battle. I had coffee with my other brother a couple hours ago and this what he filled me in with this details. Thanks for your support and rest of the CCF Community too.

I have chilli on a weekly basis at a favorite mexican restaurant and will be having more often when Fall and Winter approaching. It's tasty, full of warm goodness, and delightful to have for lunch and dinner.

How about when they ambush-spray you with some hideous cologne?! That happened to me once in London, when I was out with my wife. I went ape-shit at the woman doing the spraying, to say the least. I know it's only her job, but it's such an unbelievablely rude invasion of your personal space that, I'm sorry, if you're gonna take the cash for doing such an arsehole-y thing, you deserve everything you get.

I’ve not had this happen to me, but now I’m intrigued that corporations would do this. Technically that employee is committing a battery at the company’s direction. There are some significant issues there.

I’ve not had this happen to me, but now I’m intrigued that corporations would do this. Technically that employee is committing a battery at the company’s direction. There are some significant issues there. My girlfriend avoid perfume counters because of this might happen to her. What she would do is to file a formal complaint to the store and with possible "battery charges too" and tell that store that this is unjustified and all that. I know you are a lawyer but she would also consider that this employee should be dismissed and possible fired on the job. I hate perfume counters too and my girlfriend buys perfume online to avoid them. If I had it my way, no perfume counters anywhere including international ... worldwide ban period. I went into a high end department store in Paris and my Mom and I was overwhelmed by the scents of various perfumes and we both got headaches afterwards that lasted more than a hour and was disgusted by it. My mom wanted to buy a scarf for her dress back home and she needed my assistance to see which one is best. We gave up and left immediately. Case Closed.
