Ok weird topic but one that I have to get off my chest. I back my car into all parking spots. It's easier for me and it's faster when I want to leave, I get in the car and off I go! Now, I've been told lately that this is a "guy thing" and only "guys" back their vehicles into their parking spots. Well, hmmmph as you can tell from the pic, I am NOT a guy! LOL Some say … [Read more...] about Backing in

This works both ways... 1) How many times have you dealt with a company or a business and been on the receiving end of inferior service or product yet you didn't speak up?! Why didn't you? 2) You own a business and you … [Read more...] about Running and hiding in business
Shoddy workmanship and no business owner responsibility
Update: Treasia has returned from a vacation where she didn't advise anyone or set her site up on auto respond but ironically or conveniently? she appears back from said vacation within hours of my going public with my information. Coincidental? You decide. Meanwhile her response was basically that it was my fault because I didn't pay $5 for a 'sample' first before … [Read more...] about Shoddy workmanship and no business owner responsibility
Why do people leave & leave their business hanging?
I know I blogged on a similar subject few days ago about people who take off for the holidays and come back weeks later and wonder why they have no work while they didn't respond to emails or calls during the holidays. This is similar gripe but a bit different. Ever do business with someone and get product that was "inferior" at best and actually "shoddy, trashy, half … [Read more...] about Why do people leave & leave their business hanging?
What reeks?
oh that's you, I'm sorry. You know who you are...the one who bathes in cheap perfume rather than soap and water. What is it with people who bathe in perfume or cologne? Do they not shower or wash and are trying to cover up with some cheap funky perfume that induces migraines in anyone within a mile radius of them or what? It's bad enough when you're trying to get through … [Read more...] about What reeks?

Warm and fuzzies
Did you ever belong to various networks and forums where everyone only wanted to read warm and fuzzy posts? Where if you posted anything remotely challenging or not on the upbeat, but yet still truthful people get upset? Why do people feel the need to be coddled and hand held in their 30's, 40's, 50's I mean c'mon we're business people already not two year olds. Accept … [Read more...] about Warm and fuzzies
Cell phones in public places
Should inconsiderate people use cell phones in public? You know the people I'm talking about, the ones who "scream" on their phone so the entire general population can hear their conversation. At our local post office, there is one service person who will refuse to wait on a customer if they're talking on their cell phone. He will not say a word until the person gets off … [Read more...] about Cell phones in public places
