Title: 95%. 5% …..
Post by: apc2010 on October 22, 2025, 03:10:14 PM
I was told years ago by a wiseman ( and very good salesman ) ….

That when someone asks you “ How are you ? “ …..

95% of people don’t really care if you have a problem....and the other 5% are normally glad you have ..!..


So anyway ….today I was driving home from shops and a lady we know frantically waves me down in the road ..

Now this lady we have known for years (15.?) ….and she works for Jet 2 airline ,we had recently contacted her about getting Miss T emergency flights due to her mothers terminal cancer …


So naturally I assume this is way she is stopping me … rubschin:


Oh Noe’s … noooo:   “ Can you do karoake at the Jet 2 Xmas party ? “ ….


Now apart from the …no asking about Miss T or mention of flights …..we have seen these people regurally (they live in our village ,their parents live next door ,,,!!! …

And told them numerous times that we haven’t done karaoke for about 12 years …


I even spoke to them last month about Jet 2 starting weddings and could they help getting Dj work … noooo:
