See You in 1984

Dang near everybody has a cell phone, but why does it have to be announced. People answer their cell phones and begin conversations talking loud enough so that everyone hears them.

While on 395 tonight, I heard a woman hollering, so I’m thinking somebody got put out of a car. I look to my right and there is a woman who appeared to be in her late thirty’s early forty’s talking on her cell phone with the window cracked about a good two inches in weather that was below freezing.

It’s no big deal to have a cell phone now, or so I thought. Apparently it still is very much a big deal. How dare I forget the ring tones where people have to let their phone ring so that everyone hears their ring tone.

What a bunch of dolts!

A few years back, I decided to send my wife some flowers using 1-800-Flowers.com¹. Well this past Valentines Day changed that forever.

I ordered a dozen roses for my wife and they sent her eleven. People make mistakes, I can understand that, nobody is perfect. However, I email them regarding their oversight, and I get the standard “we received your message… you’ll get a reply soon” message. Well I have received no reply. That’s just rude.

Choose 1-800-Flowers.com¹ if you want to be ignored.

¹I usually link sites from here, but not them. No links for poor customer service rule in effect NOW!

I mean, we are two months removed from “Every Gift begins with Kay” and now we are well into “He went to Shaws.” Buy, Buy, Buy.

I mean why do I have to buy a Lexus or Diamonds to show “how much I care, EVERY YEAR!” Go into debt so after a while you can’t show her how much you care. You end up showing her how much of a dullard you are when your bank account is in the red.

I got it… red is for debt and the more red the more love, so more debt more love. That’s what all the commercials are screaming to me.
