- We say "Thank you!" even if we do not like a present. No one is required to give us anything, after all. And therefore I cannot complain about this subscription to a whackamole right wing magazine I was just given, and not even as a gag gift.
- Keep our things neat and clean so that others may use them. They have to last. Confidential to the ladies who shop at Saks: this means you, too. Deodorant marks are a no no. And if the zipper's that tight, you're not going to buy it. Take it off. Otherwise, the zipper is broken for the next shopper - good for my wallet but irritating in the extreme.
- Say "Hello!" when you answer the phone. And while you're at it, don't hang up until you know a. who it is and b. why they are calling. Especially don't hang up when they ask for the teacher: drop the phone and get the teacher.
- While it may be a lovely song, we are all tired of it after the tenth repetition. Sadly, this includes the song I have on infinite replay before school starts. The poor Resident.
My punishment for years of running with scissors: teaching today's scissor marathoners.
