Golds to certain box stores: I didn’t schedule 15 minutes for shopping to be in the lineup for 17 minutes!
Greens to all sales clerks: I rarely come into a store. Leave me alone – please! I’ll let you know if I need you. Please stay away or I will.
Blues to the world: When we ask how you are, we really do want to know. Is it so hard to give us a real answer? It’s OK if it is an answer longer than “fine.”
Oranges to Golds: What are you talking about? Someone asked that? That came up? Gee. I’m long gone by then, I never knew…
Golds to Post-it Notes inventor: Thank you, thank you! We can’t live without them anymore.
Greens to all others: Hello – remember us? Stop wondering about things and ask us. We can figure it out (or probably know it already). Just ask (via email, please)
Blues to Greens: Don’t fix – just listen when we talk to you. We just want to be hard and not have you fix our problems.
Oranges to others in the house: Yes, as a matter of fact, I do own the remote. Sit back and watch – it’s not hard to catch 2 or 3 shows at the same time and never see a commercial all night.
Golds & Oranges to many businesses: Please figure out how to make your voice mail system work a lot quicker. Press 6, then 4, then star, then 0 is a sure-fire way to make us hang up. Who’s got the time?
Greens & Golds to Blues: Don’t get your feelings hurt when we walk past you without a word. Our mind is definitely somewhere else and it’s nothing you have done, honest.
Blues and Oranges to Golds: Yes, we sometimes have a problem being exactly on time for you. But have you ever noticed that people who are late are jollier than those who had to wait?
