A little stroke for UPS.

Interesting message. Although I'm not sure if UPS gets it or if the driver just doesn't want to head into that part of podunk. How far was that I-80 50 car wreck I heard about from your place?

BTW, saying "sir" and "ma'am" might get your head knocked off your shoulders today.

As far as "kids" you should meet my buddy's girls, you'll be "Mr. Scott" and that's the way it is.

Ditto! I remember saying "Thank-you ma'am" to someone once, and she yelled at me not to call her that. So I said "Thank-you, *****" the next time. She didn't like that, either.

I held the door open for a woman, and she snarled that she could open her own doors.

So, Scott, you can't win, but it sure is nice when you come close!

Interesting concept.

I have Never received 'my supplies' or accessories at my house. I have always had to go get them from the facility as they never seem to come during hours that someone may be home.

I still try to say sir and Maam as often as possible without it being weird or out of place.

Pet peeve of mine: when you hold a door for someone, and they walk through without a thank you.

That wreck was just over the hill from me here. Maybe ten minutes. I just heard about it last night. It always gets piled up with slow trucks trying to get up it. On top of the hill there's a sign that says it's the highest point on I-80 east of the Mississippi.
I love the whole yes sir, yes ma'am thing.
I've never had a problem with anyone because I was respectful. Like Hugh mentioned, I've heard the story of women and the "I can get my own door" thing. It happened to my dad once at the mall.
It doesn't stop me from helping my girlfriend to the car and opening the door for her. It doesn't stop me from holding doors for people, either.
If I ever get a grumpy one, I'll meet it with a "Sorry, ma'am" and keep doing what's right.
