Things I'd Like To Hear, Just One

THINGS I'D LIKE TO HEAR, JUST ONCE From my auto mechanic:
- That part is much less expensive than I thought.
- I've never seen anyone maintain his car as well as you do.
- You could get that done more cheaply at the garage down the street.
- It was just a loose wire. No charge. From my son's preschool teacher:
- Everyone misbehaved today except Michael.
- Michael traded his candy bar for carrot sticks.
- I wish we had 20 Michaels. From a store clerk:
- The computerized cash register is down. I'll just add up your purchases with a pencil and paper.
- I'll take a break after I finish waiting on these customers.
- We're sorry we sold you defective merchandise. We'll pick it up at your home and bring you a new one or give you a complete refund, whichever you prefer. From my doctor:
- Of course I'll come by your house to check on you.
- Give me a call at home over the weekend if you're not feeling better.
- Sure, come on by this afternoon, we'll work you in.
- I'll call ahead and let them know the most you will pay for that test.
- Here, take these samples.
- Don't worry about it, there's no charge for that.
- I
recommend you get a second opinion. From a contractor:
- Whoever worked on this before sure knew what he was doing.
- I think I came in a little high on that estimate. From my dentist:
- I think you're flossing too much.
- I won't ask you any questions until I take the pick out of your mouth. From a restaurant server:
- I think it's presumptuous for a waiter to volunteer his name, but since you ask, it's Tim.
- I was slow and inattentive. I cannot accept any
tip.
