Seriously, can there be that many people who even still wear watches to justify these millions of “replica watch” spam emails?
Once cell phones became mainstream everybody, OK… at least everybody I know, started using their cell phone as a watch. Honestly, when was the last time somebody asked you for the time and you looked […]
Kids get so many mixed messages. Take for instance Capri Sun. You know those truly delicious drinks of about 2 sips for a grown up, but a full drink for a kid.
I can recycle beer cans and soft drink bottles, but I don’t want my kids drinking that stuff. I have no problem with […]
I’m staring at my second cracked windshield in two years and at this point I have to ask are mud flaps good for anything besides advertising?
I call them “mud flaps” but I’ve heard them called “rock guards” before. I don’t know what the difference is between a mud flap and a rock guard but I […]
I finally got so fed up with paying insane interest and doubled-up minimum payments for no apparent reason, I decided to just pay the damn things off.
Surprisingly, my biggest complaint about paying them off was not that I had to deal with some obviously outsourced call center representative in India who I could barely understand […]
I spend more time looking for my TV Remote Control than any other single item in my life. Sometimes it’s right where I left it, but most of the time it’s not. If it’s lost, I can spend as little as 10 seconds looking for it or as long as 10 minutes. I’m not faulting […]
Everybody has electronic payments coming out of their checking nowadays. Convenience is the name of the game with electronic banking. Setup an electronic payment with a merchant, click it and you’re done. Payments start rolling out monthly without a thought.
Now get in a payment dispute with one of the merchants your paying by electronic fund […]
My bank has switched to replacing all but the first digit and last four digits of my account number with “x” on my deposit receipts. This seems like an over zealous security plan gone wrong.
My biggest complaint about my bank x-ing out my account numbers on my deposit slips is pretty obvious, I can’t check […]
This is a picture of a kids plate from Disney World. This black plastic dish holds every children’s breakfast, lunch and dinner served at all parks in the Disney World Resort.
The combined 2006 attendance figure for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, MGM Studios and Animal Kingdom was just over 45 million people. For the sake of argument, […]
Welcome Kev, you are not alone. The roads are completely out of control and they are only getting worse. Unfortunately, it seems like it's something we've just lost total control over. I've read many of the other complaints about driving that other users have posted and whether the complaint is about speeding, weaving, inattention, whatever... all of the driving complaints have one common denominator and same root cause - a total lack of respect for other people on the road.

@Kev, I can't fault anyone for substituting either. I substitute occasionally as a sign of respect. I also use substitutions for a little humor every now and then.

The best business advice I ever received on dealing with irate customers was a from a multi-millionaire who had started his own surf shop. Anytime we had an irate customer, he would look at me and say "Kill 'em with kindness." 5 minutes after unleashing this art filled kindness on the screaming customer, they would end up buying more stuff from the store even if they were returning an original item. He had made the kill.

Sorting the trash without mention or encouragement seems to be counter intuitive. Disney World, in particular EPCOT, is about dreams, children and the future. Why would Disney abandoned this fundamental concept when it comes to recycling and write it off as "People are stupid and they can't get the plates in the right bin anyway."?
