Jane, that's a good one. I've thought of that before too... guess I need to offer insurance when I'm selling a sign. Tell the customer if they pay me an extra $100, I'll make sure I do their sign like I should have done it in the first place... I'll be extra careful to use the proper color and double-check my spelling.

"Is that the best you can do?"

I love (and now use effectively) a response I first heard here:

"No, you're right. I can do much better than that. Add a hundred dollars to the price."

Absolutely none of these offend me from those I know well. But from those I don't, it's abit fruitless...

"Say hello from me!"
(don't you also have their number?)

"How are you?"
"Fine."
guess that's that huh?

"You look tired."

work related:

"It's crooked/spelled wrong."
"That part's free."
next

ahhhhh [Smile]

One phrase I have always hated is when someone prefaces what they are about to say:
"Let me ask you this;"
Puts me on the defensive immediately because it makes them sound like a lawyer.
Love....Jill

Go to the doctors office....
and the first thing they will ask!
" How are you feeling?"

Your reply Is
'Good, Thank You!'

So why in the name of, are you there for?

Years ago Doctor Pets had a line about all thier pets being "100% Guaranteed". Big 8 1/2 inch by 14 inch official looking guarantee certificate with any pet purchased over $100.
Read the entire thing carefully and the "Guarantee" was that the dog, bird, snake or whatever would forever remain a dog, bird, snake or whatever....even when it died. Not an oxymoron, but typical retail bull****e...
