But I HAVE unfortunately come in contact with rude people like your bus driver...as I'm sure we all have. All it takes is one sour person to upset the applecart (now that's a phrase this 50 year old can understand!) Wonder what horrible baggage she's carrying that would make her act the way she is? Sounds to me that she's not at all happy in her job and perhaps not happy in life either. Wish for everyone's sake that she'd get a different job. Hope Richey, when he gets back from vacation, will deal with this in an appropriate way. Surely you can't be the only one who has noticed her nastiness! Surely others have brought this up to Richey, too!! Good luck lovey!!!Reverend Jeannine Bakrigeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15822300482251461208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26613104.post-35853434071980268422008-02-18T22:17:00.000-05:002008-02-18T22:17:00.000-05:00I hear your frustration, my dear!

It was quite funny, talk to the hand cuz the ears aint listening! It's a very sarcastic way of saying " I don't want to hear about it," It's very sweet that you haven't heard about it...but it's kind of out of date, and you're pretty current....so that's probably why you haven't come across it before. Go over the guys head to the top management! Or bake the bus driver some brownies...you'll have them eating out of your hand!!Send a nice note, thank you for all your hard work....yeah I know but sometimes sucking up works!! <BR/><BR/>Love you and good luck with that!<BR/>SherrieGiggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713143985984314202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26613104.post-39483118648315949942008-02-18T19:29:00.000-05:002008-02-18T19:29:00.000-05:00You may be the only person in America that hasn't ...You may be the only person in America that hasn't heard this phrase. I think it was big in the late 90's and has petty much died out. It is disrespectul and you are fortunate that your kids did not present it to you. It is most effective with a hand going up and the face turning away and eyes rolling. The correct phrasing is "talk to the hand, not to the face." A woman I used to spend time with had a teenage daughter that used it often. But never to me. She knew better. LOL<BR/>Don't deal with the bus people.

It's one thing to have a kid say that to an adult [not great, but kind of acceptable in a teenage surly not cursing sort of way]; however, to have an adult say that to a kid is wrong and rude and immature. I'd be ticked off too. <BR/><BR/><I>And as an aside: how in the world have you not come across this phrase before this?!! I find it rather quaint and charming that you've not heard this before. ;-)</I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
