why do most people use white ikea cabs?
Comments (20)tbo123 -- good point about the importance of being precise. 16 years ago we wanted white painted wood cabinets. We couldn't afford those at the time since we were on a strict budget. We chose IKEA white thermofoil cabinets instead. They served their purpose well for 15 years until we replaced them with the real white painted wood cabinets we had always wanted last year. The IKEA cabinet boxes held up so well that they could be repurposed as cabinets for a neighbor's basement when we renovated last year....See MoreWhy Do People Call Active Elderly People...
Comments (52)I truly don't understand how or why anyone is offended at ma'am. It is a sign of respect to others. Weren't you raised to say yes/no ma'am and yes/no sir to others in response to questions? I was taught to say it to any command, reprimand from an adult, I.e. no running in the school as well as general questions from anyone I didn't know, I.e. waitress asking, are you done with that plate? Age has never been a factor. If the cashier who is clearly younger than I am in the store asks if their is anything else I need, I reply with, "no ma'am", if I need help from that clearly younger man in the store I don't say, "excuse me young man (to me, THAT is patronizing) I say, excuse me sir" Maybe it is regional? I've only ever had a few people get upset and say something to the effect of I'm no ma'am/sir!!! Which just makes me think, obviously or you wouldn't act that way....See MoreSpeaking of tips, why do people do this?
Comments (37)I have seen tabs with precalculated tips -- usually at least 15-18%, 20% and 25%. I find it crazy that people can't figure tips -- even with a calculator on their phone. I learned something I'd never heard before -- in addition to tip-out or tip share where a percentage of the tab goes to the kitchen staff, expo/bus staff, the bar and even the host or hostess, the credit card service charge comes out of the tip paid to servers where my son works. When a table of 6 or 8 get separate checks, they get hit with 6 or 8 transactions fees. A 20% tip may or may not reach 15% to your server. I don't agree with that practice, but can't change it. Does the kitchen get charged for the food and the utilities? Sheesh....See MoreWhy Do People ...
Comments (61)Why do some drivers ride your tail and/ or impatiently pass you, only to be stopped at a red light within a block or so? And I do so agree about the people in stores who act like they're the only ones shopping! And from my many years of experience teaching kids and young people, I've learned that no matter how carefully you explain, and no matter how much you emphasize or repeat instructions, there's always at least one who gets it wrong. Not everyone is always paying 100% attention. I've typed plurals with apostrophes plenty of times, and homophones too. Sometimes I think my fingers have a mind of their own 😄 It's a good thing I obsessively proofread my writing, or there'd be many more typos. P. S. In answer to the OP questions, lots of people have never seen the words referred to written down and may have zero knowledge of French - or any other language, seemingly....See MoreBumblebeez SC Zone 7
