Things I think are wrong with this country


Recommended Posts

Or, maybe blame Bush for signing the Healthy Forests Restoration Act, which, if not held up in court by the environmentalist extremists (or whack-jobs), would help prevent/curtail these fires.

Or, maybe deal with the fact that your home was built in a location prone to frequent burns

One thing I think is wrong with this country is the apparently uncontrollable movement to alphabetize items by their first name. Sorry, but when when I log into my rhapsody music account, I should NOT have to look under B for Bob Dylan and R for Ryan Adams. Or, for that matter, T for the The Beatles. Thanks for listening.

I don't think we disagree about anything, ever. :thumbup

This annoys the hell out of me.

This probably applies to most countries:

Calling an office only to be redirected to another office and having to wade through the automated menu at that number and then when you do finally reach the extension of the person who is supposed to be the one to answer all your questions and set your mind at ease, they are out to lunch and you are supposed to leave your name, number, and a brief message.

How do you feel about the response to Katrina, vis a vis the residents' decision to live in a large depression next to a gigantic body of water?

 

 

Post-Katrina, I think it is a terrible decision. Pre-Katrina, a gamble with unknown odds.

 

California, however, is a different situation

Telemarketers that keep calling and calling and calling. Really, telemarketers in general.

 

I swear I'm on the do not call list and I keep getting a recording about the warranty that's about to expire on my vehicle. So last night at 7:00 they called AGAIN and instead of just hanging up, I pressed 1 like it said to do if you want to speak to a customer service representative. Then I get another recording saying "sorry, our office is currently closed." WTF?

 

So they called back again today and I pressed 1 and told the lady that I didn't have a vehicle with a warranty that was about to expire. She kept questioning me like I was lying to her. I finally told her that I wasn't interested and to please not call again.

 

About an hour ago, I got another call from them and I pressed 1 and told the gentleman that I just talked to someone a couple hours earlier, told them that I wasn't interested, and asked them to please not call again. He said "sorry to bother you, I'll update our records."

 

I would report them but I have no clue what company they represent...

The fact that I see Christmas decorations, movies, songs, and anything Christmas related this early annoys me.

 

I work nights, and the morning after Halloween I came home to find my front porch covered, not with the orange lights and pumpkins that were there before I left for work, but with Christmas lights and snowmen. Apparently the second she brought the kids back from trick-or -treating my wife busted out the Christmas decorations. My wife so needs help.

Around here, the lights on the house go up the day after Thanksgiving and the tree gets chopped down 1-2 weekends before the 25th. Everything gets put away/recycled Jan. 1.

 

Even this is a little long, but I really like having Christmas lights up on the porch/house and the fake candles in the window. Such a nice vibe if done right.
