Well I rarely use canned openers anyway, so I guess I kind of agree with you. The reason I stopped using them, however, is because I live in a relatively small community where reputation is very important. If I got caught out it could be disasterous in the long run.

However, fake it till you make it gives you the right mindset, so that if you come accross a similar situation in the future, you feel like you have been there and analyzed it. Like I said, in this case it is a parkign lot, in teh future it could be a line at a bank teller, whatever. I will have to come up with something on the spot for htose different situations, but this will put me on the right track.

However, I will look up the books you recommended. Thanks.
