What happened to the handle?

[jakeroot]

I never really got the huge aversion to "no problem" some people seem to have. I think it's mostly in the minds of stodgy, tie-wearing fucks that don't actually do any work and don't understand that literally nobody under the age of thirty (hell, could be thirty-five or forty at this point) is going to find it objectionable.

This mindset is the same way I view literally all responses to "thank you" or "appreciate it". None of them are supposed to be taken literally. Same way that "bless you" isn't supposed to be a religious reference. These sayings have no modern meaning other than "I acknowledge you". I followed Marriott guidelines to avoid warnings but I never felt like anyone really cared, because no one ever felt like "no problem" implied "was a problem".

They mean the same. "You're welcome to my assistance" vs. "my assistance is no problem".

[abefroman329]

Around here, I've noticed that "Thank you" is losing ground to " 'preciate it".

Soon it will be truncated to "preesh," mark my words.

As a response to someone sneezing, you mean.

Right, which is why I feel like any business worth their salt should make the people that wear ties actually go out and do some work every once in a while instead of just sitting in the office rotating the tires on their spreadsheets.

Are you sure? Here's a picture of him getting on the Internet.

I don't use "my pleasure" because 1) I try not to lie and 2) it reminds me too much of the bots that run Chick-Fil-A.

At the risk of speaking favorably about anything having to do with Chick-fil-A, at least "my pleasure" probably has its origins in the Spanish con gusto, which translates to "with pleasure."

Though if you get "pleasure" from handing me a packet of Hula Sauce or whatever it's called, well, congrats on being easily pleased.

I'm a huge fan of Chick-fil-A, but I can't stand the "my pleasure" schtick they have.  It has become my personal goal to say something to the employee that cannot reasonably be answered with "my pleasure."  Doing so was suggested to me by a friend when the first non-college CFA in Wichita opened up.  The simplest way to go is "have a good evening."  It trips them up sometimes.

You could go "what's the most important thing in the universe?"

Chick-fil-A

You could go "what's the most important thing in the universe?"

And then casually walk away, smirking?  Or stand there expectantly while their brain spins around inside their head?

No, just watch them go "my pleasure"  and blush.

The last few times I've gotten something from Cook Out in Frankfort, they've also said "my pleasure."

Actually it's...

What do you get when you multiply six by nine?

At the end of Life, the Universe, and Everything, doesn't Arthur pull Scrabble tiles out of a bag that spell out "what is six times seven?" or something similar?

As a married Christian man, I just feel guilty "pleasuring" the females that work there.

Back to the original question...

I was in a Home2Suites by Hilton in Nashville a few weekends ago.  They have a dual movement handle - push forward for a light flush; back for a normal flush.  Or it was the other way.  I couldn't remember remember, and I was looking at it. Basically, if it doesn't flush down what's in there, try again.

So when a handle is lost, it becomes a bath?
