Better days?

[quesarah]

This morning is decent, so far. I bought a maple dip -- I haven't had one in several months -- and oh, it was good! The cashier was nice; I said "have a nice day" and she genuinely replied "thanks, you too." Plus, I called Cingular and got a real answer as to why my order is taking so long. I'm trying to port my old # from one company to Cingular, and it's the other company that's not moving forward with the port. They put in a work ticket for IT to get the port taken care of, said that it will take 24-72 business hours, and informed me of the ticket number. Customer service! Halle-fricken-lujah!

Every day is a good day if you get a maple dip.

What? People in California don't genuinely say "have a good day" to each other???? Oh, right. I remember that "Thank you" is always followed by "mmm hmm"... ;)

What's funny here is that we say "sorry" for everything. I laughed at myself this morning. This woman was opening the washroom (not the stall--the big door into the hallway) from the inside and I was pushing it open slowly from the outside. We both said, "Sorry." Even though no one was surprised, hurt, in the way or anything. It's just a Canadian habit, I guess. :P

Actually, I meant that she didn't reply automatically, as a reflex. She said it like she meant it, which was nice.

I remember that "Thank you" is always followed by "mmm hmm"... ;)

I notice that all the time now. It's. All. Your.Fault.

Ah well, pass the maple.

What? The "Mmm hmm" isn't genuine??? You don't give Californians enough credit... ;)

I just enlightened you. Opened up your mind. You became a jaded Californian. You had forgotten what it's like when someone actually says "you're welcome" or "no problem" or "no, thank you" or even "don't thank me, thank that little whore you're with." It sometimes takes a wise Canuck to show you where your manners are amuck. That's a famouse saying. Remember it and keep on minding your P's & Q's. I have no idea why it's P's & Q's... Perhaps it's Peas & Queues. Yes. That seems to make sense.

Ah well, pass the maple.

Of course. Pass it around. Maple's always better with friends.

You became a jaded Californian.

Then clearly I need to take up surfing, at which point I will become mellow and unjaded again.

... or even "don't thank me, thank that little whore you're with."

You know, you're right. I'm going to start saying this to everyone who thanks me. In the grocery store, at the mall, at work; think of all the good we could do if we just start saying those 9 little words. Let's hold hands.

Your hand is clammy. You need to get out in that sun more often. I agree, take up surfing. Just watch out for the death in liquid form. And by that, I mean the ocean. *shudder* ;)

If you start saying those 9 little words to everyone, I'm sure you'll get genuine reactions. Try it out! It works extremely well when you say it to a mother shopping with her young daughter. Or an older man shopping with his elderly mother. Those are the best reactions. Nothing like spreading some love...
