Ok thanks. 
Oh, it’s your turn to be a jerk for being pick about could of/could have? I’m glad to hand that off to you! 
This is yet another example of a misleading username.
**MeanOldLady **is quite obviously not mean or old.
She does appear to be a lady, so one out of three isn’t a total miss.
But, who among us has an accurate user name? Some are obviously meant to look like a normal name, as in our inestimable **Lynn Bodoni **or even myself. However, how do we really know if Stranger On A Train is, in fact, a stranger? If so, stranger than what? Does Nzinga, Seated ever just lie down? Is Enola Gay really a bombshell?
It is to wonder…

NOT into old dudes, trying to…
bone her…*
Got it.
Someone please tell me how to delete a post??
First of all, you’re supposed to stand still in an escalator. In fact, I pit people who somehow need the extra 3 seconds to make it to the next floor by elbowing their way upwards.
Second, your tactic of telling us you’re attractive to old men isn’t all that impressive. Most old people think young people are nitwits but for their looks.
Last, there’s always someone who’s more impatient than you and he’s standing in behind you in line.
First, you can’t. Second, why would you want to? You did nothing wrong. You told us your story, one to which we can all relate, if not now then sooner than we’d prefer. Third, you still can’t.
Now, let’s get back to the purpose of this thread: ribbing MeanOldLady and whistling past the graveyard.
What I hate is when the old lady (or man, it could be a man–it’s usually a lady, though) is just so so starved for attention that she has to get it from, say, the Walgreen’s clerk, while she’s getting her purchases rung up. Look, pictures of her grandchildren. But she never sees them because they moved to Phoenix. Oh, they wanted her to move to Phoenix, too, but nope. Too hot for her! And so on and so fucking forth and yada yada yada.
And what can you say? "Shut up lady. Some of us were working and then we stopped here on our way home, and UNLIKE YOU, bitch, we have people at home WAITING for us, so shut the everloving fuck up, this is not part of the Walgreens service guarantee.
Unlike MeanOldLady I am really old, also really mean, and yet I just can’t bring myself to shoot these old ladies who are gabbing away. Nor can I bring myself to haul out pictures of MY grandchildren (yep, I’ve got 'em). If I ever do that, somebody please shoot me.
Convince a mod. Otherwise, it’s here forever…:eek:
NM.
Well, sorry, then how do I unsubscribe?
Send a bribe to a moderator or administrator. Chocolate works on most of us.
How do you feel about crips who hog up the entire escalator stairway by getting on it with their wheelchairs and riding up in a protracted wheelie?
I just want to compliment the Poster-name/post combo.
Or me! As a telemarketer I expect people to get me off the phone as fast as they can. I neither expect nor want to hear about their kid who didn’t update his contact info before moving to Zimbabwe or about their trip to the States (“Ooh! You have a lovely country! And Chicago is so CLEAN!”). And lately I fear I’m sounding too sympathetic so I have people coming to me with their customer service problems (the WRONG response to “I’m glad you called” is “Oh? Why is that?”).
Wife is in customer service for a big-box retailer and she gets calls like that, except with a lot more anger and swearing. We agree that there should be a law that forbids people over 65 using a phone, either incoming or outgoing.

There, there. Someone appreciated your joke.
[del]Oh, why would you want to do that?[/del]
Aw, stick around. Like I said, you brought a moment of realism to the thread. The moment passed and we forgot about it. Or would if you’d let us. 
New to The Pit, I suppose. Too nice, too. No problem. Plenty of nicer parts of the SDMB that you’d like better.
I, on the other hand, am a genuine kimstu.
The only trouble is that it has never been clear exactly what a kimstu is.
Hey man, I apologize if my “grammar Nazi” post upset you that much. I didn’t mean to be un-feeling or callous. I’m sorry.
I have to ask if the mean old church going ladies are Southern Baptist. Not that I’m knocking that faith, but my biker club goes to different churches every week. (Well some of us only go to one church, but those who want to share take turns taking us to explore other ways of praying. I’m not going hijack the thread with that now.)
The Christian Church of the Valley folks always welcomed us with handshakes and smiles. The Catholic church ladies gaves us hand made doilies to wear on our heads. The Mormans offered us cold water. The Southern Baptists gave us such looks that all of us girls went out to get our jackets and zip them up in the middle of the summer.
