    Angry when your day starts of THIS way

    I just had my first patient of the day ask/say the following things to me:

    ~"who wears these, canadians and gay men?"
    ~"this all looks like eurotrash"
    ~"if i wanted someone's family crest on my glasses i'd have my own"
    ~"why are you giving me all of this cheap crap"

    is it friday yet????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????

    What do Canadians and gay men have in common ? Not a joke...i'm really wondering. Stupid comment. Some people are just miserable and want to bring you with them.

    Sounds like someone who would be happy with a pair purchased on-line

    "style" much like italians, they carry off any and all styles with confidence knowing they look good rather than worrying about how manly they look. my boss said i should have offered him our 60 eye double bridge stetsons.

    @mike: i should have charged him for his PD and sent him on his merry way to zenni

    Now that is a AWFUL way to start the day! At times when the public talks that way to you, you have to wonder why you even try to be helpful.
    My in-law's are down here enjoying their first snowbird trip to Panama City. They live in Skowhegan. On the way home I will have them swing by and bring you a box full of surf sand sunshine and warm temperatures. Hope that will make things go better for you.

    My response has been "Some men are very secure in their manhood and carry these off quite nicely!"

    When I get this kind, I just think how grateful I am to only have to spend 15 minutes with them. They have to live with themselves 24/7. Well-deserved, too.

    Mr. Massengill obviously has some issues and is perhaps attempting to evade or cover his own insecurities. Did the frames look any better when he stepped away from the mirror and out of the closet?

    +1 but have to add after spending the past 4 days in Bellingham WA. I will say they could use some driving lessons, but style they are all over that.
