How should you deal with poor service?
I know you have seen them. You enter a store and they look at you as if you have interrupted some important activity. They either ask you if you need help in a tone that suggests that you should say no or they ignore you altogether. Often these store clerks are the reason you have a terrible shopping experience. Clingy store clerks I hate when I go into a store and I am instantly followed around by the clerk as she desperately [...]

RALLY GERMANY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
Apparently there is an individual who is overly committed to reminding me of the vanquished state in which my financial affairs exist. I am still at a loss, flabbergasted even, after watching a Ferrari LaFerrari cruise on an auction block and watching the fast-talking auctioneer bang away as the machine sold for a whopping US 3.45 million! Poverty is still a crime in my village! Despite concern about killer-robots 'Eclipseville' is in full effect in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. The world awaits the [...]

Motorsports, at times, provide an ideal avenue along which therapeutic solutions may drive. [...]

Don't Waste My Time
I am so very annoyed - and this is nothing new. I remember a gentleman named Anthony Gomes, a businessman who used to write a newspaper column, often vented about this matter of "Jamaica time." Since then (years ago now) not much has changed. Why do Jamaicans waste each other's time? Is it a lack of "broughtupcy" or simply a habit? For me, it is sheer bad manners. I went to a breakfast meeting this morning. The start time was 7:30 and [...]

Stay safe while you shop!
A number of people are shopping this time of year as they prepare for back to school. Summer deals also tempt consumers and provide an opportunity to save money. However, it is important to be careful while shopping though since there are dangers as you shop during the summer season. Tips for staying safe I have noticed many people on their phone while shopping and this is a very bad habit. Not only does it show poor manners to talk loudly, it [...]
