Yes, I know where I live

I'm guilty of asking "are you sure?" when it's something actually relevent and important.

Two Saturdays ago, a girl came up to me at the bar and said "AMBER! How are you!"

I'm like "I'm not Amber...." and she said "Are you SURE? You look just like her.."

I got a little bitchy and said "No one else walking this planet looks remotely like me....I'm positive my name is blas."

If someone out there does look like me, I better change my style.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. There's someone in my city that looks like me. Enough so that one time at a resturant, a family seated across from me asked me if I was sure that I'd never lived down the street from them. I also learned my doppelganger attended the technical college in town, too. And apparently went to a High School in the city, as a former co-worker swore up and down she recognized me from a video yearbook.

And I do admit to using "Are you sure?" But generally when I use it, it's used as a way of asking for expansion, explanation, or clarification of the thing that prompted me to ask the question. I don't use it for "We close at 9 tonight" or "We're sold out."

speaking of dopplegangers... either arena boy has been going to Salt Lake Community College without telling us or he has a doppleganger.

My favorite are you sure question happened tonight in wendover at the blackjack table
dealer- "i'm sorry sir, you have 23, you have busted"
idiot next to me- "are you sure that's how much I have"
now if she had 5 or 6 smaller cards I could see the question, but she had a jack, a 3 from the deal and got a king from her hit... so let's see, 10 plus 3 equals thirteen, and another 10 and you get... 23... pretty easy math there sweetheart.

That's like when you tell a customer that you are out of stock on a particular item and they respond, "No? You don't have any out back?"

Oh, out back! As if I'm completely unaware that there's a stockroom I need to check.

No, not even out back.
