i work in the office at a tire store. we had this guy call and get prices for a certain size...no problem. he then calls back for prices for a DIFFERENT size tire. i tell him the price. he tells me i am wrong and that he just spoke w/ my boss (the owner) who told him that the price was such and such. i said, yes, but that was for that size. he keeps tellin me i am wrong! hello stupid! not every tire of a particular style and brand are the same price!!! he gets all pissy w/ me and says, i will just speak w/ your boss. FINE, he will tell you the same thing! which he did.

urghh....today has just been one of those days! we are incredibly busy and behind and the computers arent working......yeah, having a small pity party...lol. thanks for letting me vent!

Stupid people are indeed multiplying. I mean, looks at the threads we are all writing in sheer frustration of how stupid people are.

I've had people eat their suppositories, put their contraceptive jelly on their toast in the morning, drink their enemas, cram a suppository up their back side not realizing the aluminum foil wrapper should be removed first.... the list is endless.

People are stupid, no way around it.

Having been in the automotive industry for a while, I know EXACTLY what you mean. I have met so many mind-numbingly stupid people. Can we get a mandatory minimum IQ test before these people are allowed to reproduce? Is that so much to ask?

You have to take a test to drive a car, but not to have a kid.

Of course, that's because no one (including myself) knows who should manage the "parental permission" test. No one wants the gov't to do it.

What REALLY used to piss me off in that situation, was for my boss to cave and give the customer a discount, making me look like a moron....I do not miss retail in any way, shape or form!!!

Instead of a minimum IQ test I propose prospective parents should be:

Required to file an environmental impact report pertaining to the child.

Put up a $50,000 interest bearing bond so the child will be able to go to college if they so choose (if they do not choose to do so the money will go into a national fund similar to Soc. Sec. or it will be invested in various government bonds and stocks that cannot be withdrawn until they reach retirement age).

I have more ideas but those are the two main ones staying on topic.

Does it bother you to think your own parents likely could not have done that, could not have afforded you???

I couldn't have at the time I had kids, but all 3 are well educated--2 of the 3 with degrees...all being productive members of society.

Scares me to think of the only ones who would be able to afford to reproduce at will...

Oh yeah. Some people even claim titles they are not entitled to, or make up official-sounding but bogus names to enhance their prestige.

I heard that some people were so obnoxious, websites were put up about them!

And they are VERY interesting. Too bad they can't be linked from certain messageboards (not LBT). If they could, it might open a few eyes!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
