Do any of you have similar experiences? Do you think this thread will get 24,000 views? Do you even care?

What is it with those Austin GA's and being polite and professional? Always with the 'Mr.' and 'Sir' and 'Thanks for your business so I can have this job I really love.'... And based on your post, I guess they even do it for the old folks, it's just crazy!

I pretty much think everyone is Austin is just high all the time and, hence, mellow. When I put on my turn signal while driving, people let me change lanes - they don't speed-up and try and cut me off! I don't think they're trying to be polite to an elderly 40 year old all the time.

I think you called it, I've lived here two years and knew I was missing out on something. :p

Too bad Post #48 and Post #52 would fit perfectly in the original. :p

You can't fight city hall. The reason the original thread has so many views is that it's a cool topic! :cool:

As for me, I always wear cuff links when I fly. :-:

Silver haired, crouched posture, shuffling gait.

Of course, once I get past the blue carpet, I stand up straight and skip down the walkway. :D

And what about being elite, looking 40, but feeling 18?
