I was dealing with a company about a return I needed to make, and they were INSISTING that it HAD to be dealt with on the phone instead of on email. And I could not see ANY way to make that happen: third grader and first grader talking to me, toddlers talking to me, baby crying, cats meowing.Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806221757599098019.post-67820226505670317892008-04-04T06:45:00.000-05:002008-04-04T06:45:00.000-05:00Oh yeah.

If that doesn't work, I do the nasty look/finger snap. You have to make eye contact with them and then purse your lips and make your eyes really big as if your head's about to explode; and then start snapping your fingers while swinging your arm wildly. This very sophisticated gesture is supposed to say "I'm gonna blister your butt if you don't shut up."<BR/><BR/>Even my dog does it. She whines really loud by the treat box, when I'm on the phone because she knows I'll give her one to shut her up.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I should be giving dog treats to my kids?HWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260566913424446132noreply@blogger.com
