I hate this! I got beer the other day and when the cashier checked my id she was like "WOW I would never have guessed you're that old! You're really lucky to look so young."

I'm 30. I'm not "that old". I never know how to respond to these backhanded compliments. Telling someone they don't look "that old" is just rude.

I had the same thing happen and I just looked at the girl and said:
"Wow, looking at you I would have never guessed you would be so rude"
That generally stops those sort of comments unless of course they are idiots in addition to being rude.

Thank you for your consideration.
That's OK, I don't have any straws anyhow.

I ordered a pair of shoes online and they were delivered by UPS very late on a chilly day. When I tried them on they were so cold on my feet. Brrr!

Google was not my friend. I couldn't get to Google so I had to get my Ipad. I tried a couple of things and then went and got the mouse. I've got a 15 year old that needs to fix this for me. He knows everything.

I think I hit the wrong button on my computer. Now my touchpad doesn't work. I can't figure it out so I have to use a stupid mouse.

one of my cats, (Miss Kitty), does this to my home computer with regularity..... on that one it is the (I think), F5 key....

Good Luck!!

In the last 4 pack of TP I bought, three of the rolls somehow missed the machine that cuts the perforations, so instead of 240 sheets, I had 1 very lonnng sheet. Now how am I supposed to ration the dad--blasted stuff if I can't find the perforations? I am doomed

The new windshield frost guard for my truck (Christmas present from Mrs. NBP) doesn't completely cover the windshield.

I ordered pizza. Instead of it having light cheese, they screwed up and it had light sauce and normal cheese. The sauce is the best part.
