I remember when stamps were I believe a dime, payphones were a dime and then a quarter. I remember one time I called the help number that used to be listed on the payphone because it was busted. The operator sent me a check for $0.25. I remember when you walked into an establishment, people would greet you with a smile and say "hello" and then when you leave they'd say "thank you..."  I remember when a man would give up a seat for a woman, especially if she was pregnant. I remember penny candies and mom and pop shops. I remember a little ice cream shop in Greenpoint, NY (Brooklyn) that used to sell the best banana splits. I remember when you used to be able to ask the supermarkets for their crates and now,  it's illegal to sit on one. I remember when you were tired you could sit down, now they are giving fines to pregnant women who are tired and sit on the stairwell of the subway. (She must have been tired to, even think about, sitting on that nasty, grime crusted step!) I remember when all men used to open doors for ladies and children and now I find women and children opening the doors and healthy grown men walking by and my husband being on of those rare ones that still do those nice things (I am blessed to have him). Things have become a little to convenient sometimes to the point where we have become lazy, forgetful and ill-mannered. Sure, lots of things have improved but those things that we didn't need improving on...simply disappear or is slowly doing so. That's why we end up "remembering" these old moments...because we secretly long for a time or thing that reminds us all of our childhood.

Of course, but not today.  Last night, my neighbors were abducted right in the middle of a game of gin rummy  We were just having such great fun when the beam of light shown through our side window.  It fell on Bob and Janet.  Oh, the surprised look on their faces! In a flash, they were sucked into the light and off into the wide black yonder.\nWe waited a few minutes and then had to re-deal.

There have been so many.....\nAt one former job, walking in on my then-boss. It was lunch time (I was working through lunch catching up on paperwork) and I thought he went out for the whole hour. He did go out but only for a few minutes and I didn't see him come back in. In his office (door closed) he changed into a lace teddy and was just putting his uniform back on when I walked in with papers to put on his desk. I blinked and still held onto the papers but when he asked me if I liked his teddy I couldn't find my voice. Then he told me we were all alone in the section, and that he'd always wanted to lick my toes. I got the desk in between him and me and finally when he lunged at me I stapled him, threw the papers at him and left the office. I didn't go into his office again for anything. It was my first job and I never worked for the military again. He was a Major, known by my friends after this as Major Pervert.\nThere are other things I've caught people doing, but none that took my breath away quite like seeing someone built like John Goodman (only uglier) in a satin teddy and combat boots!

Great Question!\n\n After recently reading MacSteed's answer to a question on, " Have you done something out of character, lately?" My vote would definitely have to go 'HANDS DOWN' to him. I literally laughed until I cried!!

I was in a supermarket a few years back on 11/11, and just before eleven they made the announcement that in a minutes' time it would be 11.00am etc. Come 11, they sounded the 'ding-dong' and everybody - yes EVERYBODY stood still and silent except for one young woman who continued filling her trolley and letting her four year old scream his head off (as usual) all the time. \nCome 11.02, I was the first to have a go - loudly - at the ignorant cow, and she turned out to be an awfully posh woman, and as soon as other customers heard the way she was speaking they all joined in and we had such a really smashing time chastising her that in the end she just fled from the shop!\nI bet she observes AND understands the two minute silence nowadays !\nI'm the last one in to any kind of religion, but I still observe the silence in remembrance of those who fought and those who died on my behalf so that I could be writing this now in the comfort of my home.
