Say What???

Yesterday morning me and the boys went out for breakfast cafeteria style.  Just after sitting down I overheard a conversation from a customer to the store manager.  I don't know how old the customer was (not elderly in my book) but he said something like this.  "...let's just hope the economy continues to improve.  Although it doesn't really matter to me since I am retired.  I get to sleep late and play golf.  You guys will get there someday." Commenting on his points one-by-one:

Unintended Compliment

Today a real estate appraiser told me a story about a conversation he had recently with an unhappy homeowner (HO).
  The HO was trying to borrow money from his house after doing some improvements and consequently the lender asked for an appraisal.  Apparently the appraisal was not as high as the HO wanted and so he called the appraiser to inquire.  (For an experienced appraiser in a flat to down market I am sure he is used to a call like this.) 

  After clarification was complete, very early on supposedly, the HO devolved into a personal attack including this comment which is the UNINTENDED COMPLIMENT--"Well I guess that is why I have a house like this and you drive a car like that."
