Being Polite...

I was chatting to my friend in Hong Kong via MSN and this is what chatted..

LWY says:
you know every time when i made phone call to singapore tourism board,people there are really polite

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
haha of cos they are polite cause they are paid to be polite… duh

LWY says:
sounds interesting,and i just found there are countless people are not polite though they are paid to be polite

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
like me

LWY says:
oh no

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
haha

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
i mean if the customer is irritating, i have the rights not to be polite

LWY says:
i do not see in that way,i do not think that should be the reason you have this right

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
ok imagine this...

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
u r the salesman in a shop selling tshirts... and im ur customer. i go to ur shop and start trying all your clothes even though there is a sign 'NO TRYING IS ALLOWED'.... then you saw me trying the tshirt, you remind me it's not allowed and then i got angry

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
what will you do?

LWY says:
what should i remind you it's not allowed?

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
trying the tshirt is not allowed

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
in some shops, you're not allowed to try the tshirt to check for your size

LWY says:
let me see

LWY says:
i will just politely resort to security

LWY says:
while i constantly tell the customer i am very sorry about that

LWY says:
do you think that work?

LWY says:
that remind me of something

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
what if i start chasing away your customers, shouting vulgarities, demanding to see your manager, throwing all your tshirts on the floor. what will you do?

LWY says:
am i allowed to shoot him to death?

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
see you're not being polite

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
LOL

LWY says:
let me think for a while

LWY says:
you know,i guess all my colleagues at that time should say sorry to that customer because that is our rule that bothers him

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
but i'm a customer, customer is always right but your rules doesn't seem to make me happy? so how?

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
hmmm in a real world.. you wouldn't get such a long time to think

LWY says:
so,we are sorry for our sort of "mistake ".

LWY says:
i will...

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
yeah you will kill him rite?

LWY says:
no,let me finish that

LWY says:
i'll make him embarrassed

LWY says:
But I’ll still be polite

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
you're not being polite cause u made him embarasssed

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
rule of courtesy is that... being polite means not to embarassed either party

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
ok fine... maybe you're those very rare chap

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
u should work in Singapore and you can smile pretty everyday

LWY says:
oh,no,the only thing i want to do is to disagree with you haha

-=:: N.A.S.E.H.R™ ::=- says:
zzz..zzz -_-

Can't believed I just lose this conversating to a Hongky. Say.. what is the right word to call someone from Hong Kong? Is is Hongky, Hongkee, Honky-Tonky or Hong Konger? Hmm...?
