Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

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!"

If you keep taking blood sugar medicine for your blood pressure, then I can pretty much guaranty that
 
I hate the start of daylight saving. It started last night, so got my head down early tonight and woke two and a half hours later. Can't get back to sleep...

We've got about another month to go in the US.

Cue my semi-annual "standard, daylight, split the difference, pick something else altogether, I don't care, just pick something and STICK WITH IT!!!!" rant.

The following recently happened to me, too:
you are male, it is a weekend, you are rude and grumpy, you have no refills on your viagra, cialis, etc. AND your pharmacist is female...

please do not expect her to "give you a couple to hold you over"

I'm sorry, but it is not medically necessary for you to have an erection.

And the guy was adamant about not leaving the pharmacy until he gets what he needs.

I have several HP laptops... finally gave up on one and replaced it with a new Toshiba.

It'd gone through three motherboards and as many hard drives, a fan and a few other accessories.

I'm giving up on the company. After all the trouble with them, I'll just get a Dell.

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.

I was also told that calling it "Kung Fu Kid" was too similar to Kung Fu Panda...

I have no idea how true this is though.
 
Kung Fu Panda plays for the San Francisco Giants under the name Pablo Sandaval.

My HP printers tend to print Gibberish. Even a large color laser at work would do it.
I like the older ones. Carts would keep for a long time since they self sealed.
 
I just got Vulcaned again. He ran into the muted Youtube nonsense with FX, and thought the little X meant it would turn the video off rather than expand to a slider for volume.

I doubt there's any truth to that at all, the original 'Karate Kid' was made in 1984, twenty four years before 'Kung Fu Panda' was made...

Well, quite.

Over here the argument in favour is something to do with farmers in northern Scotland getting up in the light. My reaction is **** 'em: tell 'em to get up an hour later and stop affecting the rest of us :D
