"Oh, you adopted your daughter? Where?!" S- County. "Oh." I realize that a county adoption isn't as exotic as my friends who adopted from Ethiopia, but sheesh! The county kids need homes, too! 2. I work at an art gallery that provides free gift wrap. Now, there are a few unsaid rules on free gift wrap. A. Let me have freedom! I'm an artist. Your picking out every little detail drives me crazy. I ask questions of occasion and gender. Let me run with it. B. I realize that you are purchasing 10 - 2.00 items, but truly, you would consider that free gift wrap is free, yes, but should be reserved for items of a bit higher price point. (We do wrap them, but a little lighter than typical.) C. It is free gift wrap. Don't ask for it to be re-wrapped because you like the colors on the other customers package at the end of the counter. 3. I realize that it is expensive, but it was handcrafted in America in small studios by a single person or a few people. It wasn't shuttled out on an assembly line. You came to an American Fine Craft Gallery. We are not a sub-unit of Walmart. 4. Your perfume is way too strong when everyone can smell it across the store. I saw the greatest saying this week. "Mute your personal scent." Oh yes, please. 5. CELL PHONES IN THE STORE. Please, for the love of Pete, I don't need to know that your Aunt Sally had a wart on her left toe. I don't need to know what you had for dinner last night. If you must, step around the corner, use a "little voice" as I would tell my 4 year old. We don't need to know all those details. Oh, and please refrain from using the cell phone when cashing out. Oh, especially speaker. I don't need to hear about your husband's secretary setting airline reservations for you for 5 months from now. Allow me to chime in on a few rudeness’ that I’ve encountered:

Like a stranger's (or friend's for that matter) reproductive history is any of their business!! LOL And I have to say about spongebob that the sound of his voice alone makes me shudder, but at least he is a nice, friendly character, unlike that whiny brat Calliou! Did I miss the post with the winner of the LL Bean bag? I apologize if I did, I swear I'm losing my mind this week:) People are so rude when it comes to commenting on how many kids someone has.

I get that a LOT! I even had a man say I was over populating the world! To my face! Unless you have more than 3 kids, you just couldn't imagine the comments people make. Unbelieveable.
