Beware of truecars.com
I was shopping around for Honda CRV prices, decided what the heck, I'll checkout the services thru truecars.com, signed up, divulged the required contact info and within 5 minutes of surfing around the pricing, I get a call from a local Honda dealer.
Bad on me for not reading the fine print - did not think that my personal info would be blasted out to local dealers. Argh....
Must be getting grumpier every day, but I've learned to hate the continual sales type/cashier person/greeter, etc. with the "How are you today?"
The other day, I replied to one gal after this question going through the line up with, "Do you really care?"

Having to repeat myself! And automated phone 'Help' systems. Detest them.
In a prior life when I worked in retail I had a customer answer that way and I really wished I'd been free to say "Yes, it would have been nice to know before walking up to you that you were in an a-hole mood. I'd have stayed over there."
We weren't required to use a specific greeting but there just aren't that many greetings you can use with a complete stranger. "My, that is a large wart you have" doesn't quite fly.
Hour after hour in a sales type/cashier person/greeter job can be mind numbing torture. Any contact with a pleasant person from the outside world is a great thing. I'm still surprised that when I answer and then ask how they are doing it seems to stun them. I doubt any of them dreamed of this job when they were kids, I'd rather throw them off with friendliness.
If I run into a particularly grumpy cashier, I always say "Smile - it could be worse." It usually gets a positive response of some sort, but this one young lady checker at the grocery store was not impressed, and said, "How's that?" I smiled and said, "Well, you could be pregnant!"I dont think he was targeting you specifically.He just related his expirences with dealing with the general public in a retail enviorment.
I´m 52 and have worked with my hands all my life; and I´m not stupid, but putting together this rack/table or whatever it´s called is driving me crazy!
I have NEVER seen such terrible assembly "instructions". There are so many mistakes, and so many steps are just omitted, it´s ridiculous.
The pictures are just sketches and the individual parts are not labeled, and even the dimensions of the parts are not noted.
The 3 parts labeled "B" are NOT identical; the parts labeled "G" are identical but they must be a mirrored version of each other.
Notice the parts list at the bottom right; there are no dimensions listed and the idividual parts don´t even have a sticker on them "A", "B", "C" and so on.
Rant over...

I don't mind "no problem". I use it myself, although hopefully not to excess. All it conveys to me is a cheerful willingness to serve, and really, what more can you ask for, especially at a Red Lobster?No problem. We went to dinner this evening. Every response from the server included “No problem”. She was pleasant and did an acceptable job, but I only noticed one or two minor problems, only one of which was her use of the praise No problem. Considering that we were at Red Lobster I would even have preferred a cheesy ‘Aye, Aye matey!”
I think “No problem” has been mentioned before in this thread, but sheesh! Enough already!
My sister and my pastor both use that phrase! UGH!!! I want to correct my sister every time she does it.I don't mind "no problem". I use it myself, although hopefully not to excess.

Now if you want to get me going, we can discuss "I could care less". Yech.
But you don't, right?My sister and my pastor both use that phrase! UGH!!! I want to correct my sister every time she does it.
