My sister and I were working in our
parents’ shop when we caught two
women stuffing baby clothes into
their large handbags.
“That’s it,” they said indignantly as
they threw the clothes on the counter
just before storming out. “Under no
circumstances will we ever shop in
your store again!”

I changed my computer password
at work but didn’t write it down, so
naturally I couldn’t remember it the
next time I tried to sign on. I called
the IT help desk and was asked to
hold while the techie looked up
my password. A minute later,
she came back on: “Does Stupid
sound familiar?”
