That's 3 more than I care about.

Gee...NO I am not surprised that you have had zero initiative to learn about the subject for years and esp. now that you are leaving in a couple of months. (No..Dee...someone at my work.)

You are so annoying and I really dislike you. You're so judgemental and always talk poorly about others. Go away.

1. How the hell do you not know your child's shoe size? it's your child.
2. Instead of trying to pretend you know how to deal with /discipline your child to save face, just get the nanny. Please.

Every time I'm shopping for my daughter, I have to ask her or my wife what size she wears. My wife does the same thing when shopping for our son. Between trying to keep up with how sizing for the opposite sex works and the fact that kids keep growing, I can easily imagine a parent not being sure about what size a child wears.

This. My daughter needs new shoes every two or three months. I can't keep up.

My son rips through a pair a month, so I know his size. My daughter usually makes hers last until she needs the next season and/or next size bigger, so I'm less likely to remember hers.

Please stop talking. Your voice is annoying to me for some reason.

I worked at Foot Locker for a while. I can't tell you how many times I had this conversation:

Me: "Yes, ma'am, we have that shoe. What size do you need?" (btw - it is a shoe for the lady, not anyone else)
Lady: "I don't remember what size I need."
Me: measure feet; "Okay, ma'am, you need a size 7."
Lady: "That's impossible. All of my shoes are a size 5 1/2."

Seriously, this convo happened more times that I can remember.

^^lol
Kids grow. I get that. My thing is, I get it if the kid is over the age of 8 or so ok but to stand there with a child of 3/4/5/6 and ask the kid what size they wear? No.
At least take off the shoe and let me match up with the skates. ( I work at an ice rink)

lol! That is sad.

I am of the opinion that if someone here wants me to have specific information, such as a particular material shipment they are looking for, they will give it to me. My boss is of the opinion that it's my responsibility to continually have my nose in everyone's business and know what everyone is doing and what transactions are occuring at all times. No, thanks. I'll just mind my own business.

Today you think it's hot in the office? Oh, really? It's 79 fucking degrees in here just like it is every other flipping day when you're freezing your ass off and turn your g-d space heater on to get it up to a Sahara-like 83.

I don't know what the hell is wrong with you, but see a doctor. I have winter clothes, and I miss wearing them.

How in the heck did you do get into college anyway?

If this class is causing you to have anxiety attacks - really - it's just not worth it.
