I know. Sometimes, when I've got things really cheap (or even sometimes merely on 'half price'), I've felt like going into the store and offering to sell the product back to them at much higher than what I'd paid, sure they could then sell it on for even more and still make a profit!:rotfl:

You are so funny Savvy. Can't see T wearing that one:rotfl:

I bet he would sell it back to them for cheaper than they buy it from the suppliers xxx

I really hate the c**t and the t**t word… they are totally banded for me.

Try not to worry about the kids, often we look too deeply into things and cause more problems.

:D:D

Oh I hate those asterisks, but that's irrational too! (So infuriating - and ineffective, except at actually arousing my infuriation even more.)

For the bold highlighted part, unfortunately I think that's a worrying approach. I'm concerned that someone thinks it "causes more problems" to be exposing sexual abuse if indeed that were occurring.

Quite separately, and beforehand, I was going to say, if I were a teacher, at least people would be assured I would be very alert to these possibilities, be looking out for it and be calling the police in to investigate:eek::eek:.

Why ever not? Buy it from me! Only a quid when you have it on the shelf at two pounds and can sell it for...

:rotfl::rotfl:

In fact the nearest I came - it wasn't actually this but nearest - is when I told the CS desk in Morries about a couple of SELs being wrong. Without me having bought anything. It very much confused them. She said she'd take a note of it - I knew she wasn't really listening to me - much more interested in chatting to a colleague nearby, at the end of when I was still explaining. The SELs have never been changed (months have passed). Oh well, I told them. They did nothing:(. As per normal. Not expecting anyone ever to do anything - or to do their job properly at all. I'm completely unsurprised that it's not been changed, I just thoroughly expected that it would not be and, yet again, my prediction is completely true, correct and "told you so" again:(. Normal people are not Asperger's you see - not workaholic and don't do any job properly or thoroughly.:p

I know - it does sometimes (or even always:eek:) appear that I have a very low opinion of 'normal people'. In fact I don't. Merely telling you what I usually see, and doing so completely honestly again:o:o:rotfl:.

In fact, there's two failures here isn't there, in 'failure to do the job'.

One - chatting to a co-worker when you should be working (in that context, should have been listening to me, the enquirer). That is just oh so prevalent, in my experience, of non-autistic workers in any workplace. (Of course, I do my work whilst watching others who are working (or not, as the case may be):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.)

Two - not doing her job by not ensuring the inaccurate SELs (actually said a higher price than the actual price that was on the product packages themselves) got changed.

I spent 4 years interviewing children who have been sexually abused and have spent my adult life managing this risk. I don't take it flippantly, but I am my thoughts are based on research and evidence, all kids go through an innocent but inquisitive aspect to their development x

Thanks for telling me. I have nothing to either add or subtract.

Bold part - yes, that is correct too.

Afternoon bubbs :hello:

I am getting paranoid I washed my face 3 times before I went mums this morning :eek: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

My friend's elderly mother used to always pick, pick, pick at my friend when she visited. If it wasn't her clothes, it was her hair, or that she shouldn't wear short sleeve tops as she has flabby upper arms!!! :mad: (My friend is probably size 6... as lean as you could be!) If it wasn't my friend's appearance that was picked on, then it was that she had bought the wrong tissues or the wrong tea.
However much you know in your mind it is just pettiness it still hurts and affect you. Hugs xxx
