tishsparrow Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 oh, i know, i hate that stuff... what i dont get is in english class, i was supposed to write a 'freeform' poem. freeform means you do anything right? well, the teacher read it and told me i did it wrong. HOW did i manage to do it wrong??? he didnt say it had counted syllables, it didnt have to rhyme, i just dont get it.
Mission Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 Has anyone else noticed that the people in the drive throughs (or "thrus" as the simplifiers would have it) look at your eyes after the transaction is complete? I've been watching and, while it's purely anecdotal, I'd say it happens about 60-70% of the time - enough to be statistically significant if properly measured. I wonder why? I think they're just trying to make human contact in a job that could be performed by an automaton. Or they're wondering if you will notice them at all. I should write a thesis on it. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Christine Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 You mean after you've already paid and then are given the food? Most of the ones I've gone to the person is talking to me so, yeah, I'm going to look at them.
Mission Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 Perhaps the parameters of the study should examine the differences in results between extrovert and introvert drivers. (You are clearly an extrovert Christine). And of course we'll need a control group that is neither extrovert nor introvert because it's tradition. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Christine Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 Then there's my sister who is more shy than me, a little more introvert, but she also makes eye contact at the drive thru. Talks to them as well when they talk to her.
Capt. Lazarus Gage Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 I look at the people in the drive thru. I think it's rude not to talk to someone when they're talking to you, plus just a simple "Thanks you have a good day too" just might make them feel a little better.
tishsparrow Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 the people in the drive thru appreciate it. my friend just got promoted to drive thru at mcdonalds. poor thing, first day working there (at the register, not drive thru) these people from Iowa or something ordered biscuits and gravy. i have NEVER heard of mcdonalds serving biscuits or gravy. they didnt believe her when she said they dont have any.

Captain Jim Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Hey did anyone else know that the Guiness beer company and The Guinness Book of World Records are run by the same company! Well, yes lass. Did it no' occur to ye tha' copious quantities o' alcohol would be required ta think up such a volume? Can ye no' see a bunch o' well heeled execs sittin' aboot in th' tastin' room, wonderin' wha' ta do fer promotin' th' brand? My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
Pew Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 She's been calling me for weeks. Maybe I'll see her Saturday.

I live just over the Kent Narrows . . . , Skull and Quill Society , The Watch Dog "We are 21st Century people who play a game of dress-up and who spend a lot of time pissing and moaning about the rules of the game and whether other people are playing fair."

Rogue Mermaid Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I went to Bike Week on Saturday. Motorcycles EVERYWHERE, people wearing full leather despite the opressive heat, and some very impressive mullets. It was neat, quite the expereince. I'm sunburnt all to hell.
Diego Santana de la Vega Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 She's been calling me for weeks. Maybe I'll see her Saturday. I have plans to go to motorcycle weekend in OC/Berlin Saturday if it doesn't rain. Does she ever stop calling... No sir the ocean never ever stops calling which leads me to Led Zep Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain Ain't no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door Got a date, I can't be late, for the high hopes hailla ball. Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more, more! Singing about good things and the sun that lights the day I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost it's way. Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into day Used to sing on the mountains but the mountains washed away Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a knife in your back.

silverhearted maggie Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Halloween rules. For whatever reason Birmingham is a big Halloween town. If it lands in the middle of the week folks celebrate from one weekend to the other! Long Live the crew of the CrimsonPermanent Assurance!
