I'm in the process of buying bits and pieces for a engine oil primer and was at the hardware store checking out at the cashier. The total was something like $16.44. I gave the pretty young lady a twenty and said wait, I have a pocket full of change let me see what I have. Pulled out a handful of change along with three screws and my pocket knife. Started counting out the change, looking like I was going to be a little short and instantly asked, what can I get for a screw? She stared at me for a very long moment. I said, you know that didn't sound quite like I meant it. She just smiled.... :facepalm:
There was another old guy standing next to me. I don't think he saw the screws in my hand and only heard what I said. Glad I was driving the wife's suv and not Red. To say he looked shocked would have been an understatement.
Sometimes we speak, when we shouldn't. I had one of those times some years back,,my boss was riding with me one day and we decided to try a BQ place. The young lady took our order and brought my sandwich which was warm meat but the buns were ice cold,with out thinking I looked up at the lady which was leaving the table and spoke out loud for all to hear before thinking and said: Young lady would please warm my buns!!!!!!!Open mouth insert foot syndrome.
That is exactly the type of stuff I find myself doing. Many years ago the ship I was on was just returning from a long deployment and I was on the main deck standing next to my Dept Officer. Crowded on the pier were more than a hundred wives all waving and shouting. I was asked if my wife was present and I said yes sir she's standing next the fat lady in the red dress. My Dept Head turned to me and said, oh you mean my wife?
One of my users called me a few days ago: "I need some help with something. I need to set up a three-way." Paaauuuuuusssssseeeeeee, chuckle, (and I could almost hear her grin). "On the phone."

Sounds like a very open relationship since you refer to her as a user..... I can understand how she would simply state her needs... :coolsmiley:
