Quote from: vdeane on December 31, 2024, 12:55:09 PMIs there some generational thing going on?  Is this like boomers getting exasperated at how my generation and people younger use the word "literally" (as in, "I have literally seen people's heads explode over this")?  Or how one of my high school teachers felt the urge to correct us whenever we used "like" (as in "it was, like, 50 degrees outside")?

I think you and I are, by most definitions, in the same generation, so I'm not sure what you mean by that here.

I wasn't sure if Gen Z had come up with some alternate usage of "stalled for time" like Millennials did.

Incidentally, I usually see the dividing line as being in the 1995-1998 range.  Granted, you're a couple years closer to that line than I assumed, but I'm still firmly on the Millennial side (so Gen Alpha probably considers me older than dirt).

In, like, the same generation, or literally in the same one?
That's what my teacher would say whenever we used "like", except she used actually instead of literally.

Quote from: SEWIGuy on December 30, 2024, 08:26:54 AMSo you are just a complainer.

You are more than welcome to think that, but then the owner is even more of complainer for literally complaining to a customer about their review.

Two wrongs don't make a single right in this case.

Whoops, seeing as I missed this earlier, this is hilarious because "two wrongs don't make a right" applies to the second wrong, i.e. you shouldn't retaliate if you feel you have been harmed. So, you're speaking to the barbershop owner on this one, not me. And that is true no matter how you feel about the cancellation fee:

If enforcing the fee was right, then leaving a poor review was the first wrong.
If enforcing the fee was wrong, then leaving a poor review was not a wrong at all.

The first wrong which started the chain of retaliations was being late and not giving an as early notice as possible. So whatever happened after that was second, third and fourth wrongs. Which still didn't add up to a right.

How many wrongs do add up to a right, then?  I would have thought four would have done it.

You should ask your NYSDOT friends how it works. 6 roundabouts at Malta are apparently not enough, so your answer is " no less than 7"

It was definitely as early as possible, I just happen to value keeping my job and completing what had to be done before the weekend over getting a haircut, so that happened to not be early enough. Like I said, things started out on the wrong foot by booking for Friday afternoon. Lesson learned.

I thought that was how many angels could dance on the head of a pin.

Do I remember correctly that it was the shop calling you to find out you're running late? If that is the case, you definitely wasn't proactive enough.
