I would have then told him what the other guy said to you.<br /><br />You allowed some cretin to get away with unacceptable behavior. "The guy has to live with himself" is no punishment for him, since many awful people live in California, who do unspeakable things, and sleep very soundly. Quite a few of them are in Hollywood.<br /><br />Don't mean to pick on you, since you're a nice man. Further, if you have a pair of pants that need dry cleaned, and not the khakis you're going to wash, I'd have the restaurant that offered pay for that. They are getting away with something otherwise. I would have expected no less than a round of drinks.<br />Candanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-1469425771616099932014-02-25T14:07:20.963-08:002014-02-25T14:07:20.963-08:00Thank you for explaining properly the difference b...Thank you for explaining properly the difference between a schlemiel and a schlemazle.

But your acceptance of the situation was refreshing. I know this attitude won't work in all situations but I agree with you on this one. As my grandfather used to say, "A dog can win a fight with a skunk any day. But why would he want to?"JEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07538398157297345338noreply@blogger.com
