How normal people say No:
"No."
How I say No:
"I guess."
"I don't care."
"If you want."
"Whatever."
No answer/cold shoulder
But those don't always mean No.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

Awkward
I went to the neighborhood store and picked up a bottle of wine and a newspaper. As I am putting my things on the counter to be scanned the cashier (Chuck) asks
Are you old enough for this?
Me
Yes.
Chuck
How old are you?
Me
23. I was in the process of getting my ID out
Do you want to see it?
Chuck
No, I trust you.
Me
Thanks.
Chuck
pointing to sign
Have you read the new requirement beginning April 8?
It says something along the lines of "any person appearing to be under the age of "40" will be asked to show ID before purchasing alcohol."
Me
It's funny that they put "40" in quotations. With everyone getting plastic surgery, I guess you can't tell how old people are anymore.
Chuck
Yup, and those teenage girls gettin' racks put on, you can't tell how old they are anymore either
Me
...nervous chuckle...
Thanks, have a nice day.
OK, so I might have walked into that one I was just making nice conversation but seriously, what do you say? Comments/ideas welcomed.
