Message: 3 Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2003 11:21:19 -0500 Subject: strange comment in store People are weird ... I was in the grocery store this morning. I went to the drinks aisle, and as I was putting a few bottles into my basket, a clerk nearby commented " There's a man who knows what he wants " . As usual in these situations, I ignored him (stupid NT's) and continued on my merry blitzkrieg-male-shopper way (my style is to go in, ignore as much as possible of what's happening around me, get what I want, not respond to the cashier's small talk, and leave quickly). But I wonder ... you mean most people don't make a list of what they want and, after having been in a store a few times, figure out where different things are so they can go right to them? WTF is wrong with this guy? On another subject, I don't think there's a picture of me on the group's site, but go to http://home.alltel.net/tychobrahe/austrip.html ... two of the pictures referenced at top have me in them. Two hints: I don't have a beard, and I'm not female. Doug __________________________________________________________________ New! Unlimited Access from the Netscape Internet Service.

(Um...you may already know this, but...) That's a variation on what has become a fairly common expression. You may have heard some women say something like, " I like a man who knows what he wants, and goes after it " . I would have taken it as a superficial complementary " wink " of sorts---in other words he was trying to be friendly by making light-hearted small talk, but there was no implied message of any importance. Seeing as I've been meticulously trained like a circus animal to mimic NT behavior, I might have said the same thing myself. :-\ --DKM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
