    rant mode on

    This might be one for Ray but how do you politely/professionally explain to customers, who are otherwise perfectly intelligent adults, that adopting the gait of someone who's shat themselves whilst on their tippy toes in no way influences their bodyweight or grants them the Jesus like ability to...
