....I'm sorry, all of our agents are currently assisting other people. Your wait time is 17 weeks, 36 hours, and 47 minutes...would you like to hold?

Press one if yes
press two if no
press three if you'd like to strangle someone

And have you noticed that despite the fact we do all the work of a cashier, we still pay the same.

"Well that's not really good enough, why don't you sell a photoframe with quad TV tuner, hardrive and radio in?" and about a million more to that effect.

"I wish clients would pay me on time as they wanted their photos right after the assignment was shot." So, maybe I should wait until payment is received before I release the photos.

My big complain today and almost every other day of my life is people who ride my tail when I am driving the speed limit. I don't speed. EVER! I drive around with 3-4 kids in my car and all of our lives are way to important to me to ever drive recklessly. Mostly, I will set my cruise control exactly at the speed limit. I hate how people drive. They are always in such a damn hurry. If they are not riding my tail, they are trying to pass me on a double line. It really makes me mad.
