Things that make you go.......WTF?

^^^ I didn't read the story closely, but he seems to have snuck into an army base on the first day and taken shelter there for the week, with water but apparently no food. The fact that a 7-yo could hide out in Japanese military barracks, a few km from where he went missing, for a week when there was a country-wide search on for him doesn't say anything particularly reassuring about the internal security of their army.

Hahaha

In the movie "unbroken" a jap fighter is shooting at three airmen in a raft, and doesn't hit any of them, one of them says "shot we might just win this war if that's anything to go by"!

A 7 year old Japanese boy missing for 4 days after his parents leave him in a forest road as punishment is still missing!

Does that mean there's still some chance that Diego, Manny and Sid were the first talking inhabitants of our great land?

Walked in to the butchers yesterday, by myself.

Young butcher behind the counter says 'how are we?'

I said 'I'm alright but I'm not too sure about this other bloke!'

Maybe he was inviting you to tell him how he was? People do get out of touch with their own feelings, sometimes!

I walked into Lorna Jane yesterday (gym gear shop) and three obviously bored assistants surrounded me, one got right in my face and said'hihoware wetoday,haveyouhadthemorningtoyourselftowalkaroundtheshops,aren'tyoulucky,whatagreatdayfor you!"

1 it was afternoon, 2 I had a Lululemon shopping bag on my arm, so obviously I was shopping for sports gear, gees talk about off putting! Maybe I interrupted their break, they seemed happy to see me leave without even looking at their stuff!

I'm always friendly with shop staff (being a rep shows how fricken rude some shoppers are!). Was working on the floor in target one day and this little old lady dressed like Toorak walks in with a grand child. The assistant, lovely person was chatting and helping and this woman thanks her nicely, then grabs her grand daughter and says 'see honey, grandma went to school and night school so she didn't have to work in a shop!" Oh my god! And the assistant, the nicest person you've ever met seriously, we are still friends even though neither of us work there, just smiled and said, "good on you, well done!" I was gobsmacked, how damn rude, I still regret I didn't say something, but I was literally speechless!

I also hate pushy sales people, but I truly don't get how that was pushy?
1. - she wouldn't ask how your afternoon was if you hadn't had it yet, so seems reasonable to ask how your morning was
2. - just because you had a Lululemon bag, does that mean you were only shopping for sports gear? I don't know how she was meant to know what your shopping chores were.

Not being picky but that seems a little harsh.

As for the old bag in Target, what a mole!! I would've asked how she could lower herself to be inside a department store!

I was 2 feet in the door, she was an inch from my nose, I hate that, and she had the arrogant sales lady attitude like that scene in pretty woman, where the snooty woman didn't want "her type" in the store. (by the way, the lack of spaces was deliberate, that's how she spoke!!)

as for the Lululemon comment, both that brand and Lorna Jane are expensive, the stores don't get very full, (actually there was no other customer in there at the time) I would have thought they would be keen for sales, not chasing me out, oh, and she said "Have you had" not "did you have", but that's picky!! not sure how to get the feel of her attitude in writing.

either way, I just couldn't be bothered even browsing after that assault, and that's what it felt like!
