From what I've been reading, apparently some people do just that and call it a shop.
Why did it take me three months of daily use of this forum before I realized that clicking on Mystery Shop Forum in the upper left corner would take me to the home page? :-)

Why does replacing something small, like a lamp shade, make the rest of the room suddenly look so shabby?

Only you can decide that, bgriffin.
WHy do they call the place where you drive a parkway and the place where you park a driveway?

Why do we say "notary public" but "public accountant"? I'd really like an answer to that one as I don't know why those grammatical choices differ.
Why do things break down when we are using and need them, and not after we've put shut them off for a while and have some leisure to get things fixed?
Why doesn't my toner cartridge give me enough advance warning when it is going to cause streaks in the paper or quit working altogether? Why can't it warn me so I can save up?

Why is it the dentist discovers a tiny little old fever blister "even though you always take Vitamin C" that has dried up and decides it is too dangerous to go forward with the dental work, so that I have to reschedule?
Why is it the veterinarian's staff quotes me a price on flea medicine that they are not going to carry any more and then tells me a much higher price for what they still carry *after* I go over there to pay for the first version for all my animals? Why do they then tell me that if they had it, it would only work on the smaller pets, not the larger ones? Then when the staff write out the receipt, they ask me my name again?

I have no idea, but I'm just going to guess wildly. I'd guess that 'notary public' is an older concept, and, perhaps, came into the language as a French phrase first. Norman conquest? William may have hauled his judicial system along. That would be the standard grammar for a French phrase, noun first and then adjective. And then, 'public accountant' just formed using the normal grammar for an English phrase.

As soon as you see the first streak, remove it and give at a good shake, turning it all around. It should be good enough to print for awhile.

Why do people say "woman" doctor (instead of female), but '"male" nurse (instead of man nurse)/
I usually say 'lady doctor' and 'male nurse'. It *is* weird!

Does a nun have good habits and bad habits?
Probably both.

So they wear their good habits in public and their bad habits to pick the grapes?

Ha! Actually, I'm not sure the diminishing number of nuns still wear habits. Do they?

Some of them do, but they're much less severe than in the old days. Often just a very light version of the headgear, and no gowns or whatever you called those. Which does 'habit' refer to, anyway ~ the headgear, the gown, or the whole thing together?
Did you ever see that calendar called "Nuns Having Fun?" It was for a fundraiser and had hilarious photos of nuns in full habit doing things like skipping rope, rowing a canoe, playing hopscotch, all kinds of things.
And... how about a nun joke? Our recent discussion over a certain word made me think of it, but I hadn't shared it til now.
OK. So, there was a work crew doing construction and road work adjacent to a convent. The men were in the habit of using fairly course language as they worked. Eventually, the Mother Superior called the supervisor, and politely asked if he could ask his men to watch their language a little better as they worked near the convent. The supervisor said, "These are hard-working men, sister. They don't mean any harm, but they do call a spade a spade." Mother Superior replied, "Well, I appreciate that; but actually, they call it a F***ing shovel."
Heh.

I wish it were that simple, rezteach. Some do, some don't. I was printing a large document when the last one occurred. I was also in a big hurry or I would have printed 10-25 pages at a time and inspected them. It was a refurbished toner, which makes me wonder if that wasn't part of the problem. I had not used one before.

Am I the only one that ever wants to put sentences like "I approached the front desk to check out and was greeted by Sue, who was ridiculously smoking hot..." in my reports?

I've had a few associates who were these ridiculously cute guys... holy cow! And yes, I almost did want to put it in the description. But I refrained.

Why are some people so narrow-minded and act holier than thou?
Because it would destroy their fragile psyches to learn that things can be accomplished in a way other than theirs, and still be correct?

Pretty much. The only way some people can stand tall is if they push others down.
