I always seem to get comments from the women clerks about some of my printed T-Shirts. I have to constantly remind them that "my eyes are up here."

Uh, no.hahaha!From your description, I can’t for the life of me figure out why something like this would cause a stir at a hardware store.
It caught me so off guard, I just was at a loss to what to say. I wish I would have thought of something clever like this.

I rarely ever think what to say in time too.
I thought about pushing escalator lady down the stairs, but that seemed a bit over-reactive. Wish I had thought to stick my tongue out at her though.
Yeah, after the fact you think of all the things you should've said, and they're always great! I was like a deer in the headlights.

Do you get the shakes? Sometimes I do.
I have become somewhat better at thinking of what to say in the moment (as I've gotten older), but the best retorts come to you much later...
Dana Jean I'm shocked that anyone would say that to you. I'm like skimom2 - I probably would have told mgmt. Actually I probably would have gone home crying and the Ogre would have gone back up there and told mgmt for me. I can never think of a quick retort. My husband and kids are so quick witted but I'm just three days behind. Anyhow, I bet you looked unspeakably fine in your sugar skull tee. They were just mad because they have to spend their days wearing a navy blue smock. You should have said: "I woke up like this".
Well, I did look sort of look okay for an old lady.
Ah, the late, clever retort. The French call it Avoir l'Esprit d'Escalier. Literally means "in the spirit of the staircase" because we think of these as we exit or, more usually after we get home. Those wacky French!
Now, pronounce that for me so I can casually throw that out in a conversation.
Okay, so a form of cold/flu known as the creeping crud has been going around. My helper came over with it, I came down with it, and my mom is showing symptoms. Meanwhile, Mom still thinks we're going to be able to host this church group meeting here we've all been killing ourselves to get ready for. I got a bad feeling about this.
Avoir l'Esprit d'Escalier: I'm no French speaker but I'll try... avwah lespree des calyay. Good luck!

This one is just a joke!
Been taking over the counter medications with no effect, so went to a medical clinic for prescription cough medication. Still coughing. Extremely annoyed.
Coughing, wheezing, hacking, rattling, sneezing, and waiting for the sweet release of death.
As long as it's going to be cold and windy out anyway, so I wouldn't even want to go out well, as long as I'm sick it at least might as well rain so I wouldn't have to drag myself outside to water when I'm sick, but no.
