Had A Bad Day?

I had to go to the dentist today to finish my root canal. I wasnt numbed up enough so when he hit the nerve my legs flew up in the air and I screamed about 10 obscene words before I could stop myself.Luckily I had a mouth full of guaze so that muffled some of the worst of them, within seconds I was sweaty from the bottom of my feet to my head from the shock of it.The receptionist and person who bills you handed me a bill for thousands of dollars as I was leaving,she told me it was because I have had an emergency root canal and 2 porcelain crowns put in.I felt like someone whacked me upside the head with a club. I exsplained I couldnt possibly owe that much and she treated me like I was stupid and told me if it gets adjusted I will have a credit this as she has me signing a bill for the whole amount.I drove home shaky and shocked.I always try to find a rainbow in any bad day so after getting the girls in bed and this being my night off from work I made a cup of chamomile tea and took a pain killer and sat down to read one of my favorite blogs.The Yarn Harlot who had a shocking day herself yesterday on the subway, she was told very rudely she was crocheting not knitting by a woman.Stephanie asked on her blog what would you have said as a civil clever come back?

There is a shirt you can purchase threw cafe press that would be perfect to wear for just one of those people it says:

1.Yes,Iam knitting.
2.No,not crocheting.
3.No it doesnt require alot of patience.
4.Yes,you could do it.Really want to learn?
5.Yes,I know you can buy sweaters,socks,etc.For not much money.
What's the fun in that?
6.Yes,I'm sure your grandmother did knit for you.Thats nice.
7.Well,yes,it does require some concentration,depending on the pattern.So could you shut up and let me knit now? Thanks!
Of course Iam always shocked by rude people to shocked to say something clever to put them in their place because I dont myself want to be rude,but if I had worn this shirt I would have pointed to it and then picked my jaw up off the ground and smiled at the woman addressing me so rudely;)
Here is a picture of a friend wearing one of these clever shirts:)
