Get the whisper for helpmug. The age-old conundrum of "people who seek self-improvement vs. people who need self-improvement" --- generally speaking, the people who are conscientious and unashamedly self-examining enough to actively seek ways to improve themselves do not really need to self-improve very much, whereas the people who truly do need to improve themselves will not admit that they even HAVE a self-inadequacy problem, and so they arrogantly/impatiently refuse to seek or accept help in improving their character or behavior (think, the infamous "getters gettin' got" conversation between Madea and Dr. Phil).
Client, to counsellor, at the outset of their weekly meeting: Breaker one-five for reality check --- come on back?
Counsellor, playing along: Yeah, go ahead, Breaker --- reading you wall-to-wall and treetop-tall.
Client: Thanks --- that's a big ten-four, good buddy. Well, I'm in the process of trying to improve myself, and so I thought I'd send a random shout-out over the waves to check my progress. I've been trying to be more sociable and patient and helpful to everyone, visualize things more from their perspective, and so on.
Counsellor: Well, eights and other good numbers to you on THAT one, good buddy --- that's certainly a positive start. Have you tried self-help books?
Client: Oh, a great BIG ten-four THERE, good buddy --- I've read at least a half-dozen of 'em cover-to-cover, and loved every page; the problem, though, is that I never seem to find any new ideas --- most everything in there is stuff I already know about and am actively practicing, so the books just reassuringly confirm the nature and wisdom of my efforts, not provide fresh perspectives for further improvement.
Counsellor: Ah... well, ten-four, good buddy --- I totally "get you" there... the old "self-help paradox", eh?? The only people who'll read those books are ones who don't need 'em!

A phrase popularized by a certain special student who goes under the name of Thunderbolt. This phrase is typically said by Thunderbolt while graciously riding a purple handle bar, though the phrase can be heard in other places. This sentence is usually used to mock the student, or used as a plea for help. Debate has been going around whether Thunderbolt says "pee" or "please". Either way, the phrase is used in the same way.
"Can you help me pee?" - Thunderbolt says while is riding his purple handle bar as usual. The students at the lunch table mock him "Can you help me pee?"
Kevin is struggling on his homework and needs help. "Can you help me pee?" he says to his classmate.

Wegmans employees that maintain the appearance and safety of the parking lot, vestibule and landscaped areas; gather shopping carts, and lend a “helping hand” by walking customers to their vehicles, and helping them load there groceries into the vehicle. Most of them are young men in their teens and twenties. You can tell them apart from other employees by their distinctive highlighter neon green shirts that say “Helping Hands” on them, and the shorts that they are allowed to wear during late Spring, summer, and early Fall. most other Wegmans employees are never allowed to wear shorts. Helping Hands used to wear traffic cone orange shirts.
They are the mud-rain-frost-and-wind boys of Wegmans, and will go out and do their job in both sweltering heat and sub-zero temperatures. They are often treated as the wiping boy of the store, under appreciated by management, and the job can be quite physically intensive, but can also be much more laidback and low-key than a lot of other jobs at Wegmans, especially on slow days, and you’re free to move around unlike cashiers who have to stand in one spot.

While I was cashing out, the cashier was so very kind and offered helping hands since she saw my hands were full with a baby, and it was still pouring. They took my cart full of bagged groceries in the store while I borrowed one of their umbrellas to get us into the car, almost without getting wet! I drove my car up to the front of the store, and a Helping Hands employee packed up my car for me!
