My prize ****off for yesterday was picking up my shirts
at the cleaner/laundry after having asked them to please
replace a lost collar button on one shirt when I left
them off. I glanced at the shirt to make sure they'd
done it and saw that the button they grabbed to sew on
was about 50% larger in diameter than the other one.
When I pointed that out to the clerk she didn't seem to
think it mattered, and said, "So what, it works doesen't
it?"

And you can't put on your own button???????????????

I regard that as being both lazy and deserving of being
****ed off.

Not everyone can sew.

I assume you can change sparkplugs, etc... and never pay
anyone for any services that you could do yourself? Must be
nice to bake your own bread and weave your own carpets.

oh geeez! you don't have to know how to sew to put a button
back on. even my 4 year old can thread a needle & sew a
button! or you can get a Buttonaire that uses plastic ties
like on hangtags in stores. it's not only a simple thing, it's
not time consuming.

and, yes, as a matter of fact, i *can* change sparkplugs,
bake bread (another project my 4 year old can do) & weave my
own carpets... i can rebuild engines & knit too...
