You just called me a thief and I resent it.
RANT ON:
I do not understand how people can casually call someone a thief without any proof. I have had people walk into my store, for a repair, and casually ask me if I am going to switch their diamond. When I inform them that they just implied that I was a thief they get real embarrassed. I also tell them that my reputation is worth more than their diamond. This is especially true true because most that ask this question have stones worth less than $100.00. I have never had a customer with a 5 carat diamond ask me if I was going to switch their stone. :RANT OFF

I get asked this all the time; people try to find polite ways to ask me "how do I know that you won't steal my manuscript?"

It's...infuriating. I mean, do you think that when they send their manuscripts to agents or publishers, that they ask them that? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
