Sometimes there's only one way to READ!!!

Yesterday I was in the mall purchasing a few clothing items. I gave the cashier my credit card to pay for my merchandise. The cashier was a older woman with coke bottle glasses with the string that connects to the glasses and then hangs around the neck (note: she had the glasses on). She was a very pleasant woman. She was talkative, yet pleasant. She begins going on and on about how she wants to start making her own clothes again because the economy is bad. She then began stressing over how much fabric and sewing equipment cost. While she is telling me her sewing woes, she is trying to match my credit card number, on my credit card, to the card number on the cash register. She keeps looking at my card then the register...repeatedly! I thinking, 'What's the prob?' Then I look at my credit card in her hand. The FREAKIN' credit card is upside down!!! My patience are extremely thin at this point. I ended up saying, "the card in upside down."
