I think these two have tasted like ass for a really long time (perhaps always?). I do like the Annie's macaroni...but has to be the White Cheddar Shells. Adding a lot of butter doesn't hurt either.

In the end you kind of get what you pay for. If you want it to taste great, don't get your cheese in powder form.

When people just won't get to the point and give you the verbal dance for ten minutes when a one word answer wil do.

You're likely right. The times I eat it are far and few between these days, so I have probably lost my acclimation to it.

Wives seem incapable of giving a straight answer.

Disagree.
My wife has no problem telling me when I don't read her mind correctly.

Christ I hate it when the service dept changes my seat settings when getting work done at the dealer. Just leave my f****** seat where it is.

i seriously think one of my customers is ######ed. this is the email conversation we just had.... still waiting for a usable answer.....

from me:
Quote:
just need to know what colour of twill you’d like for the yellow….. I’ve got gold and maize (these are from stahls)

gold is the same yellow that the flames and bruins use on their jerseys
maize is a bright lemon yellow

chris
reply from customer:
Quote:
Yellow please
my reply to customer:
Quote:

I don’t have a twill called yellow

"Sorry- what I meant was that we have two different shades of yellow available. As mentioned maize yellow is a very bright lemon colour, and gold yellow is like what the Bruins or Flames use. So please choose one of the following:

Maize Yellow
Gold Yellow

Or if you prefer, I can pick one of the two for you."

(Coming from somebody who like many guys can't differentiate different shades of colours. People still get mad at me for calling printer toner "red" or "blue.")

this isn't the first time i've had issues with this customer. he's VERY frustrating to deal with.

i'm pretty sure i was quite clear in my first email that there was 2 different shades of yellow

...and i would NEVER pick a colour for a customer. this is how it would go down with these guys.... chris, you picked the wrong shade, my customer is refusing the product, so we're not paying you for the work you did AND you have to make this right. so we're going to reorder this entire order, mark the product up on the wholesale cost, air ship it to you and once it's ready we're going to air ship it to the customer... .oh yea.... and you're paying for all of that. ...chalk that up to 'experience'

if you can't differentiate between different shades of colours you probably shouldn't be in an industry that deals day in and day out with garments and logos

i've asked other guys that have dealt with this same individual in the past and they agree with me that the dude just isn't all there

How is Jack a nickname for John? It's got the same amount of letters and syllables.

There must be some unwritten weather law that says it has to rain or snow on the May long weekend

I hate it when I take nice hot chicken wings out of the oven and I drop one on the floor. Clean up the floor, put the soiled back on my place for consumption, then as I'm walking with the plate I drop it a 2nd time.
