People are frustrating! (mini-rant)

This morning, a car pulls up, window lowers, woman leans over and asks

me if I know where a Starbucks is "We saw it when we got in last night

and now we can't find it". Hoo boy, I'm just about ready to tell her

sorry don't drink coffee and if I did I wouldn't buy it at Starbucks and

CERTAINLY wouldn't drive around with gas at $3.20 a gallon pouring

needless pollutants into the air... I mean, come on, there wasn't at least

a PHONE BOOK where you spent the night? I stop myself though mainly

because there was a young girl in the car who doesn't need to hear

nastiness... figure out in my head how to tell her where the Starbucks

is (quite a ways from where we were) and then watch as she totally

drives off, in the opposite direction of where I told her to go.

Some people.

Found something I have in common with a member here and that's the lack of tolerance for the common jackass.

Humans....what you gonna do with them?

I've heard that London walk guides used to pointing out St Pauls, St Clements, St Giles, St Thomas etc etc refer to the said 'coffee' house as St Arbucks. I kinda like that. The name I mean, not the chain, or the product.

My favorite scene in a movie once took place in a restaurant. A real snobby type was there, making the server's life hell. The customer asked for water..insisting it MUST be bottled, not tap, because she could tell the difference, and NEVER drank tap water.

Cut to server, grabbing a bottle of Aquafina...opens it, pours out the water, and refills bottle with tap water. Brings it to customer, who takes a long drink and remarks again about how much better bottled water was than tap water.
