The 'Whatever' Customers . . .

[HowMayIHelpMe?]

"Whatever" is one of those terms that makes me see red when I hear it.

Do you know what "whatever" really means? It's a verbal avoidance.
It means, "I do not have the sufficient intelligence to participate in my
half of this conversation." It's an avoidance for actually saying, "I really don't
want to have to put any kind of effort or thought at all into a response."

I see red when I hear it.

And I can't believe how many of our allegedly "studious" and "hard-working"
college students in my town use that expression.

But I have already cried too many tears for our future....

a stuffed bear, a '79 Gibson 'Flying V2' guitar, a nice collection of antique swords, and more cool, weird bits and pieces than you can shake a stick at.

We have a stuffed bear (a toy one), stuffed deer heads, had stuffed wild cats (but not anymore). We don't have any Gibsons, but we have a Dean 'Flying V' guitar (among others). Have a few swords - wouldn't call them antique, more like decorative. Tons of tools, leather jackets, knives, firearms (both rifles and handguns), jewelry, tvs, electronics (dvd players, stereos - both car and home), DVDs, VHS and CDs.

After speaking to my co-worker about the whole situation yesterday, my co-worker reported that the CDLady called me rude. ME. RUDE. I told my co-worker the whole story and she just kinda laughed it off. Basically I was "rude" because she didn't like the CDs that she didn't pick out in the first place . . . gripe gripe gripe.

I've learned to never take "whatever" as an answer. Or at least warn them that "they're at my mercy."

If you're talking taxidermy, then it's usually stuffed and mounted.

Most taxidermists just mount, not stuff. At least, that's what I've heard.

*said under breath* I will be good. I will be good. I will not express all the dirty thoughts that are going through my head. I will be good.....

On the off chance of this also sounding bad...I was wondering who was going to be the first.

Actually, "whatever" means "whatever you do is not going to be right"

She's stupid and owns a gun. But it's anyone who doesn't own one in gun-toting america, that's the even stupidier one.

But... then you wouldn't fit in around here.

Funny, most of the people I know don't own a gun, and those that do either hunt, are in the military or need them for their jobs.

But... it's not my job to be doing the fitting in.... *snicker*
