Every now and then we get a ‘customer’ that simply is incapable of making a decision. But they seem to be very willing to make the decision that the decision you made FOR them was the wrong one.
Amazing.
Howdy BBW…
I was once told that by not making a decision…you ARE making a decision.
If they force you to decide for them, THAT is their decision. That’s how I always chose to see it when I was in business and in the shoes you describe.

There’s a book of encyclopedic proportions that could be written, based solely on our collective experiences with this subject matter.

BBW,
When I had the hardware store, my assistant, Bill, asked why some folks couldn’t decide & kept asking him if something would work. I related it to their home/work environment & suggested they needed a “fall guy”. If they screwed it up, it would be “Bill’s fault”. It’s really sad that so many are afraid to learn through setbacks…IMHO, genuine knowledge comes through failure, but you have to be willing to admit failure first.

My wife tells me I am not allowed to make a decision.

I’ve been trying to decide if I should post on this thread or not. All of a sudden, I feel like Cal’s wife made me do it !!

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmm;
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I spring a leak she mends me
I don’t have to speak, she defends me
A drunkards dream if I ever did see one.
We’ve been married for 27 years as of the day before yesterday. I haven’t had to make a decision for that long.
:):):)
Of course, when trying to decide on a name for the inability to make a decision, and despite all of the excellent examples of the creative use of lauguage in designating other phobias, the philosopher in charge (Walter Kauffman) could not make a decision…
…so he called the condition…
…(this is really true folks) DECIDOPHOBIA.
Lots of imagination went into that one…
I had a great reply to this then thought… "Nar… " but then again, “Why not?” but then when I went to put it in I forgot what it was. So I decided to rethink something but now I just dunno. Can you delete these? Maybe I better leave it…
:rolleyes:
That’s perfect Gringo,
Back in the 60’s the Hippies used to call that “Acid Indecision.”
You know what they say about the 60s “If you can remember it you must not have been there”
Bill
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
Um, yeah well… oh…
Yea, what Gringo, said, uh did he say something, why am I typing this?
Let me tell you, being an eye doctor those kinds of people are truly a NIGHTMARE!
Which is better, 1 or 2?
YOu’d think you’d have asked them to tell you the military objectives of the invasion of France in WWII!
The lady(and usually it is a lady) started crying when I asked her to tell me which lens she saw clearer with!!!
“All I want to do is just SEE!”
Well dear, the only way to do this is for YOU to tell ME which lens is clearer! I’m not the one looking thru the lens.
You mean she didn’t say, “Why don’t YOU look through the lens & tell me which one makes my eyes look clearer?” :rolleyes: :lol:
Mikey
I was waiting for that one, believe me.
