  17. Remember me? • I’m the person who goes into a restaurant, sits down patiently and waits while the waiter or waitress does everything but take my order. • I’m the fellow who goes into a store and stands quietly while the counter staff finish their little chit-chat. • I’m the man who drives into a service station and never blows his horn but waits patiently while the attendant finishes reading his book.

  18. Remember me? • Yes, you might say I’m a good guy. But do you know who else I am? • • I’m the fellow who never comes back and it amuses me to see you spending thousands of Euro every year to get me back when I was there in the first place…….• And all you had to do was show me a little courtesy!
