Last minute gate changes, airport security and expensive airside shops.

Why was the movie The Karate Kid called The Karate Kid, when he was in China doing Kung Fu? -and not Karate.

Because it was a reboot of an '80s movie called Karate Kid... apparently you can't reboot a movie without reusing the name.

I think Hollywood has been drinking its own Koolaid for way too long.
 
Not alot annoys me but recently there is this trend on some forums to list w/e your keyboard app is and then a very detailed description of your phone posted with every post the person makes. Its almost like the persons identity is wrapped up in their phone. Which is probably why some people are always trying to argue their phone/OS is better lol.
 
What is really grinding my gears right now is angry people, pushing their agenda against that which they fear.

These hypocrites criticize and hold forth against extremists in other places then do the same sort of thing in their own countries.

But somehow for them, it is 'different'. Why, because they think they are 'right'?

These people have been in the high spots for all their lives. White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant. The new majority is reported to be Hispanic, and depending on which country, most don't give a damn about which color you are. Most Hispanics are RC, and the memory of WHY the Pilgrims came is still in force. They were dissenters from the Church of England, which originally dissented from Rome since Henry VIII wanted a divorce. That whole shebang led to very bloody struggles in England. Mary I and Phillip come to mind.

The closest thing I can think of to parallel this is the English Civil War between the Puritans and the Royallists. The monarchy got restored but with a caveat against the Church of Rome.

There was an uproar when Kennedy ran for president. He was Catholic. Then Lieberman got protests as a Presidential candidate because he was Jewish.

Take a look at the Hispanic baseball players. They run the gamut of color but they are citizens of Hispanic countries. Therefore, they are Hispanic and could be part of the new majority should they choose.

We should ship all the damn extremists of all kinds off to a separate desolate planet and let them fight it out among themselves and leave the rest of us who can get along, alone.. Most of them aren't any different despite what they say or worship.
 
Some do that n so do men both sides play games, send wrong or mixed signals. Just be honest and you never know you may or may not get it in return!
 
Clueless pharmacy customers who think they know better than pharmacists.

Clueless customer: "I need to refill my blood pressure pills."

Pharmacist: "Okay. I see that you take Lisinopril. Is that what you need today?"

Clueless customer: "No, I need Metformin!"

Pharmacist: "Ummm... that's for your blood sugar, sir. And you haven't taken it since 2009."

Clueless customer: "That's not true! I know my way around my medications! You don't know anything! My doctor told me it can be used for blood pressure!" (I highly doubt that he actually said that)

Pharmacist: "No sir, it can only be used to control blood sugar."

Clueless customer: "You know what! I'm gonna come back on Monday and talk to your manager about your lack of understanding!"

Pharmacist: "Sir, I'm the manager."

Clueless customer: "Well, then, I'm never coming to this pharmacy again!"
