"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Anyway i prescribed these new glasses almost 3 weeks ago, the instant i wore them, they were already strong on my eyes and if that happens im certain there's something wrong with the lens, as its happened in the past. i told the guy, he said it takes some time to adjust to the new lens. my new glasses's lens are the same degree as my old ones, but it's a different store this time.

Ok i agreed, gave it some time. for awhile there were no problems....soon i was fed up, almost every day my eyes watered, become irritated, and by the end of the day my eye veins become red.

So today afterwork i go to the store. I told the fvcker (the same one who told me to give it time) my problems and there's obviously something wrong with lens. long story short, he made some adjustments and said optics point not aligned with eye. argued for a bit, then he spoke with the manager. mentioned something about different type of lens, and comparing it to my old pair. said something about if i get the other lens i will have to pay 40 or 80 or some ****. I dindt have my old pair with me, so i said i'd be back tomorrow.

Anyway my aim tomorrow is to get the lens fixed or changed but to avoid paying the **** fee they made. Cuz im under contract for 2 yrs for those glasses.
I was thinking of calling the cops and using them as leverage if i cant get my demands.

Any suggestions?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Tell them you couldn't go to work because of that, or couldn't sleep, or somehow lost money because of that problem. That should ring of lawsuit in their ears and make them a bit more cooperative.

i dropped by yesterday as i said i would. took like a freakin hr.
But finally tested the new lens and my old lens...The model type and curve. And obviously having done that, found it was their fault.

He apologized and sent me off. Now just gotta wait for a week till they get it replaced. wearing my old pair in the meantime.

Calling the cops?

They have better things to do than to referee civil disputes.
