You can get addicted to incomptince and craziness everywhere around you.
Where else can you live where a crackhead (Who's back in city goverment) is treated like a Messiah and everyone thinks the world will end if we get two inches of snow?
Listening to the fire scanner here is both funny and scary(Real fire call "Q street North West, Q as in Cuecumber")
In my daily life the biggest think I hate is the phones at work. Everyone calling the medical office always starts each call with "I'm a longtime patient of Dr ****" like that's a secret code word for me to bump some other person to get them in.

Country: | If we're talking idiots then you'd have to go someway to beat a couple of customers I had recently. First bloke comes in saying his sat nav is faulty as it can't find an address. He gives me the unit and a bit of paper with the address on it. I inform him that he can't find it as the place is in Wales and he has it set on England. His reply?
'Well Wales is part of England'
Luckily there were no Welshmen in earshot! The other was me trying to explain to a young girl for nearly 10 minutes that fitting a bigger fuse in her amp would not make her stereo louder. She was saying it was faulty and couldn't grasp the concept that without a fuse it wouldn't be working at all. I eventually went out to her car and pointyed out the reason why her stereo wasn't working was that neither the power or earth were connected to anything

Country: | The next time someone asks you a dumb question, wouldn't you like to respond like this? From an email.
Yesterday I was buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for Athena my wonder dog at Wal-Mart and was about to check out. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had an elephant? So since I'm retired, with little to do, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, and that I was starting the Purina Diet again.
Although I probably shouldn't, because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry and that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story.)
Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no; I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's ass and a car hit us both.
I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack, he was laughing so hard!
WAL-MART won't let me shop there anymore.

Country: | My kids are always asking "where are my shoes?", or some other article of clothing.
My reply:
"How should I know? I didn't wear it last. It (or they) don't even fit me."
