So today being the Feast of the Epiphany, and the first weekend after New Year's, I took my Christmas tree down to the curb.

In shorts.

It was about 70 degrees today. What the hell?

In other news, I spent a chunk of yesterday typing up the answers to the surveys I was taking last week. Amusing. Next to the section on "staff helpfulness", one lady wrote "male staff very cute". But there were some serious problems with following directions. People would claim not to have gone in the store, yet fill out sections about the interior of the store, for example. Or they'd say they went in the store, and then skip two pages. As I was complaining to my coworkers about people not making up their minds what they had done, I got to my favorite answer of all. In the section which asked for a description of what they liked about the store, someone wrote in "no! yes".

Very enlightening. Thanks, folks.

Like the classic "I have already said too much" answer I got on a textbook survey. Oh, people.

As you have discovered

Of the general population on the street in NYC:

1/3 of them are just totally psycho and need professional help. (few, very few are actually getting it)

1/3 are totally clueless, and just exist somewhat.

it's the other 1/3 that you have to watch out for!

The above percentages vary somewhat geographically, (for instance, in downtown LA, about 1/2 are psycho etc...) and it varies somewhat by time of day (you should try your survey at different times and days (weekend vs. weekday) but it generally holds true...

Was the last person a two-year-old? Because when I was two, "No!Yes" would be my response to being asked if I wanted something that I indeed wanted, but being in the throes of the Terrible Twos, I couldn't just say yes.

But then, you know, I turned three, and I started to answer questions correctly...sheesh, some people are frustrating.
