Things you wish you could say

Wonder when our fair committee meets again? I think someone needs to make a suggestion.

There was also a 'Geek' tent where a woman slithered around in an above the ground pool filled with snakes. BIL lifted me up over the edge, and this 'thing' reared up and hissed in my face - time to change undershorts. I doubt that either would be approved by modern fair committees.

Lady, this is a hardware store, not the psychic hotline network. Imma need to see the screw in order to recommend a set that has a similar type. A vague description of the furniture you're trying to repair doesn't help me in the slightest.

Background
I was at work when a customer stopped me and asked if I could help her find a replacement screw for a piece of furniture she has and is also evidently odd in some way. I ask her TWICE if she had a screw I could compare with and both times she said yes....and proceeded not to show me said screw. She gave me absolutely nothing to work with and we don't sell individual screws anyways so I led her to the fasteners and told her of some other places that sell individual screws. She evidently also pulled the same thing with one of my supervisors who told her the same thing I did. The supervisor told me you can't fix stupid.....

you can't fix stupid.....

You all don't have the right screw for that?

I was going to make a snarky comment but them I remembered that Frankenstein's monsters has bolts not screws.

I think the one she has just needs to be tightened…

Unfortunately we can't replace the loose screws in people's brains. They are simply screwed when it comes to that

I wish I could say one of my friends here on BYC didn't lose all her hens to avian influenza.

I don't think I've ever been sadder about someone else's loss of chickens .

Just devastating
