Yes, how dare he, next we will have people saying goodbye, or telling us what useless means?

But l won't argue with an expert!

    In the Sweeper Store, it's not so much "Hello, how can I help you", More like: "How many would you like?"

    Hmmmm. I think some of our past social intercourse doesn't support that statement.

    Don't worry, though. You're not alone.

    Cheers.

      You say potato . . . . . . :-)

      I love using language for effect as well as painting a picture with words, even if it forces one to possibly have to cover their mind's eyes.

      Cheers.

    In my late teens I hitchhiked to Chicago to "seek my fortune". I would walk down the streets in downtown and say "Hi" to people I passed. I probably said it to 75-100 people and not a single one responded to me. I'd estimate that half of them looked at me like I was crazy.

    Go ahead with the "crazy" jokes, but I found it to be really sad. A good percentage of people will respond in other cities/towns...but not a single person in Chicago said "Hi" back and I kept trying to get just one person, but no.

    True, not all of us can be experts.

      I would consider your willingness to acknowledge your personal shortcomings as self-growth. It's a start.

    I moved from Australia's second largest city to a town 2 hours west. People are friendly here. They say hello, or great day, and sometimes even let you in front of them at the supermarket if you don't have much to buy and they do. You can get refunds without receipts. I like it.
