    Yeah Al, he was probably looking anyone who could sign for something.

    I have the problem where I look like the official one on a job.

    I can be standing behind the counter in a name brand servo, screw driver in hand, up to my elbows in a printer/console/etc with 2 or 3 other staff standing around in name brand servo shirts & the dorks coming in will try to pay me. :confused:
    Maybe I look like I need it.
    I had a taxi driver throw a $20 note at me 'cos I wouldn't put down my screw driver & serve him.

    People in Bunnies, K-mart & Big W come up to me all the time & ask where stuff is... I try to be helpful but if I don't know, I make it up.
    Cliff.
    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    What I scrawl has no meaning whatsoever... just a spasm of the wrist that looks like a recording by a seismograph on acid.

    Then again, that describes my handwriting anyway! :eek:

    Signed off on a delivery of white goods not long ago, the full complement for a new house. I was actually in the middle of the block next door at the time and he came over to me... no questions asked, just a pen'n'board thrust in my general direction. [shrug]
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    On a similar note, my father was a builder, no phone, no advertising, just word of mouth for work. I was home one day, got a knock on the door, answered it to a lady. She counted out some money for my father for payment for some work, handed it to me, then asked if I lived here? :confused::confused::confused:

    I just got $1100 worth of timber delivered to me to make some book shelves for a mate. No signature, didn't even ask my name. Just as well it was the right address.

    Used to work in what was the Melbourne Remand Centre, I was in at 6.00am and opened up the admin area and had to pick up all the keys following the correct procedure, name, area, time, number of keys etc, after three years I got a bum kicking for the number of keys as every day I put in 'several' and the elite security squad never noticed

    And I wasn't a worker.
