Rules of life

Post by Bighuey »

I saw this on another forum. You post a rule that you should never do. Ill start with this one.

Never touch sensitive body parts after handling jalipino peppers.

Latest Review: "The Killer" by Jack Elgos

Post by becky119 »

Just to be clear, I no longer work in retail...but I think this is important:

"Never yell at the cashier...99% of the time the problem is something to do with corporate policy (ie. there is nothing they can do) and they really do not get paid enough money to deal with [insert rude word for customers]"

also...because this seems to be an ever expanding problem I've witnessed (Philly..go figure) :x

"Red lights mean STOP. They do not mean roll slowly through. And 'no turn on red' does in fact mean 'no turn on red'"

A guy gets picked up hitchiking by three different drivers. Each one of them asks him "Where ya headed?"
Each time he answers "What are my choices?" And each time they tell him to get out. What should he try next?
Anything but comedy.

Never tell your wife that your mother's cooking is better.

My boyfriend's dad told me that I make better salmon than his wife does and she got pissed!

I did the same thing about my mother's potato soup. Big mistake.

Never annoy a woman in the kitchen. There are just too many hot, heavy or sharp weapons at hand. :lol:

Recently I realise that when we are in trouble we never think about the rules so recently I break my all rules.
