"That really grinds my gears"

You want to know what really grinds my gears?

1. Cell Phone etiquette

-how many times do you see someone driving who is NOT on a cell phone?

-I hate those little earpiece phones that people wear around so they do not even have to hold their cell phone while they talk. I think people wear them because they think they look cool, THEY DON'T.

-I hate it when people come to drop off or pick up a prescription and continue their call while I am trying to talk to them. They even seem bothered that I would interrupt their call. That is just about as rude as you can be without actually saying, "You are worthless to me."

2. Beating up on Wal-Mart

-I know that Wal-Mart underpays its people, runs mom and pop stores out of business, and just generally ruins the areas that they are built in, but what is the big deal? Just because it is the biggest corporation in the world, does that mean it is evil? I about went through the phone this past week at another PHARMACIST because he said I was giving away my prescription counselling for free. He said that since we were selling prescriptions for $4 that we had to either not be counselling or doing it for free. I went back and forth with him some and he finally said, "Did you go to OU or Southwestern?" When I told him Southwestern, he said "That figures." Man I was hot. Just because I choose not to have my own pharmacy and work at a chain, I am selling out and devaluing my education? Give me a break.

I could go on, but I think that is enough ranting for one evening. Remind me to tell you about Abbie playing Rockband and Guitar Hero. It is pretty funny. She is becoming a glory hound.
