Stupid interviews after a 'news story'.

Then the Nigerian bobo tried to blow up the airliner near Chicago the national news channel did interviews with people who were on the plane.....

(LOL, again the moronic cell phone photos from the bobo who are taking pictures instead of helping, praying or hoping that no one notices the smell from loaded shorts.)

There is always the moron that complains about the service, the incident or how things went in the cabin after.

I can guarantee you that I would punch the lights out of any reporter that TRIED to talk to me.

How do you think I feel?

God just gave me a second chance by allowing me to fly with a buffoon that couldn't blow himself up, to save himself.

Sometimes it's better to shut up, kiss the ground upon leaving the plane and either going to play the lottery or devoting your life to poor people in 3rd world countries.

When something goes wrong on any aircraft, chances are you don't get a chance to watch it on the tube later on-so you may as well make the most of the rest of your life.

After spending half the day playing phone TREE with voice recognition software, on At&t's support line, I am ready to kill anyone with a indian accent. Why do we have IT for large companies in India. I went through At&t's online eRepair software that directed me to a 1-800 number because I needed to present my problem to a representive. After calling the number and entering my account #
it says "I see you have been troubleshooting a connection problem online". "would you like for me to direct you to a service rep"? Where does it connect me, BILLING. After a long detailed problem report to a real person, they inform me they are billing and gives me another number to call. This turns out to be a deadend number, so I call the original number again. The phone tree connects to Billing again. I explain my problem with this person that eventually connects me to a rep in India. After close to an hour of hassle back and forth we determine he doesn't have the information to resolve my problem. He then connects me with someone in the States, and after 30 more minutes of hassle schedules a repair tech to come to my home. END OF RANT

I can do without IT tech's in India.
I can do without phone trees.
I can do without voice recognition software.
I can do without but am stuck with At&t

If you want to spend your days hassling with At&t then get Uverse.

It was Detroit, not Chicago

Now I have to email CNN and tell them the guy is in a hospital in Ann Arbor, not Detroit. There is a difference.

Those stupid, stupid TV ads for the Magic Bullet and any other cooking device. Yeah, right, I can cook a 3-course meal in 5 minutes.

**happylabs** · 12-28-2009, 05:43 PM

Restasis eye drop commercial...cannot stand that woman doctor!

Any advertisement for weight loss programs with skinny celebrities...Jenny Craig, Nutra Systems, etc.

Kate Gosselin's hairdoo (On Saturday Night Live they said the front of her looks like she is going into an interview and the back looks like she just came in from a wind storm LOL)

Drivers who do not read the signs and are constantly cutting me off because their lane ended.

That's all I can think of for now but I am sure there are more...

OMG! I thought I was alone! I can't stand the patient even more. "What do I have?" in that zombie voice of hers.

~Infomercials...I KNOW no one is up at 6 am on the weekends watching tv so why try to sell things? Put on re-runs of good ol shows like Green Acres or Dragnet or Get Smart...so those of us stuck in front of the tube that time of day are a little less depressed!
~Badly behaving celebrites...try being a GOOD example!
~Things that are labled as a crisis or an epedemic.
