    Glad to see you, Flavio!

    Used to it yes, not get frustrated? That's a definite no! I'm pretty patient, but when things are promised for a specific date and time, and I make special arrangements for that date and time, the date and time comes and goes with no arrival... then I get frustrated. Then to add insult to injury, when query "Why weren't you here on tuesday at 9 am as promised?" I get the response "Oh, you meant THIS Tuesday.. "

    I feel your pain. Sometimes I think I was born in Brazil by mistake

    response "Oh, you meant THIS Tuesday.. "

    I'll have to remember that one when I agree to a bill payment
    by a certain day in the week to my creditors.

    LOL. I've always been peeved that the rules that apply to us (consumuers/customers) don't apply to the businesses.
