OK, so who's wrong?

I *never* give my real phone number for any sort of rewards program. I give one that was disconnected years ago but that I still remember. There is no reason for them to have my real phone number. This reinforces that.

There is no way I would have driven back to the store.

I always give 867-5309

amazing how many kids don't get it.

Ahhh. I remember my childhood. Walking into a watch/clock repair shop with ALL KINDS OF GLASS STUFF.
Sign on the door said, "You break it... You buy it".
My dear old dad looked sternly at his sons, told them to put their hands in their pockets, and said if we broke anything, he'd beat us with our own arms.


To this day, when I walk into a place with breakables, I put my hands in my pockets. And I'm 50.

OMG! My dad was the same and I still keep my hands to my sides or in my pockets.

Me too. If I broke something at 11, my dad would apprentice me out to the shopkeeper for a year.

See. Pay the $$
Look mean at your kid.

[foszoe]

How many years were you apprenticed? What skills did you learn?

[actaeon277]

I imagine he learned how not to break things.

 

[Alpo]

I broke wind once.
