Cyndi sends in her work gripe…..

You guys are all a**holes and you need to take some responsibility for your own f***ing refills…   If you know it’s your last one.. don’t show up to the pharmacy crying cause you have 1 pill left…. you need to call us sooner so we can fax your retarded Dr’s office… cause it takes at least 3 business days for them to fax us back….

WE CANNOT FORCE YOUR DR.’S OFFICE TO DO ANYTHING!! WE DON’T HAVE SOME SPECIAL PHONE NUMBER WE CAN CALL… OR some magical powers… and we don’t have some f**king crystal ball to tell us when your Dr’s gonna ok your refill, you damn drug addicts!!!

Don’t stand at our windows and bitch and moan… WE HATE THAT!! You can go hang out for a while and call us and check… I don’t want to hear your sob story that you drove all the way down here and we still didn’t get your dr’s ok… you can call and not waste your gas…

It’s also not our fault that your stupid Medicaid doesn’t pay for your stuff… WE CANNOT force your stupid insurance companys to pay for stuff… WE ALSO DON”T BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU TELL US THAT YOU LEFT YOUR SPOUSE, DOG, CHILD, OR ICE CREAM IN YOUR CAR and you can’t wait 30 mins… THAT”S NOT OUR PROBLEM…. If you really do have this stuff in your car and you think that will speed things up YOU ARE STUPID!!!!!! YOUR ALL ON FRIGGIN DRUGS!!!

We are working our asses off for you… we have 100’s of perscriptions to fill right along with yours… We really do care about you and your health… but if your a pushy a**hole wanting your f**king pain killers you need to plan ahead or screw off!!

DON”T YELL AT US CAUSE YOUR STUPID!!!! we feel sorry for people on medicare that fall in the “donuthole” or diabetics, asthmatics, epileptics, sick children, and all other REAL patients…. you guys know who you are and we love you…. but, you will not die without your bloodpressure, or cholesterol pills… this is a bunch of scare tactics that the drugs companys use to sell thier products…. people are suckered into s**t by fear… you have fallen into the cycle….

You will not expand your life expectancy using their pills… you need to just relax and lay of the cheeseburgers….. and yes, your Dr’s lie to you all the time…. if there’s nothing wrong they will find something wrong with you so you keep coming back for your office visits… And if your drugs are sooo expensive blame the manufactures… most pharmacys only mark the drugs up 15%… SO PLEASE BE KIND TO YOUR PHARMACY… and if you want good service… be nice!!

Here’s my gripe of the day.

I am sick of trying to buy anything on CraigsList or Ebay.   Here’s a list of my irritations.

• Don’t list an item and then tell me to “make an offer”.  If I wanted to make you an offer,  I’d go to Ebay or a garage sale.  You know how much you want for your item,  so  just ask for it.  What’s the problem?  Are you scared someone will laugh at your ridiculous price?  Then lower it genius.
• Take down your ad when your item is gone.  (Or you decided not to sell it.)  Or whatever your issue is.
• Because you’re a rock star (or you’re playing rock star) and you’re soooo busy you couldn’t remember to take the 10 seconds to remove your and I call you.  KNOCK OFF the ATTITUDE in your voice.  I don’t care YOU are annoyed.  You’re wasting MY time genius.
• Put in pictures!  Really?  You don’t know how?  Don’t have one of those extremely expensive cameras?  You know,  the ones you can buy through Fisher Price now.  Your FOUR year old has one.  I want to see what you got.
• Answer your damn email when I write you about your item.  This goes back to jackasses who don’t take down their ads.
• Quit doing your ads in all CAPS.  THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!  YES YOUR SHOUTING AT ME TO  BUY YOUR STUPID ITEM WHILE YOU CANT FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT IN ANY PUNCTUATION BECAUSE YOU FORGOT HOW TO AND YOU WANT TO GIVE US ALL A HEADACHE WHILE WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT YOUR AD NUFF SAID.
• Don’t try and talk me OUT of your item.  Did you really want to sell it?  I swear to God,  I was trying to buy an item off Craigs today.  I sent an email over to see if the items around.  She writes me back,  it is and her asking price.  I tell her I’m interested and leave a phone# .  Now she writes me back,  telling me it may not work for me.  Now I write her back saying it will.  She writes me back asking if I’m sure.  This is going on for two hours.  I could have been there, bought it, and been home enjoying it.  This is not rocket science folks.
• Ebay sellers.  Don’t pull that crap about selling me an item for $10 that’s worth $25.  WEEE I’m getting a bargain.  I’m all excited. Oh yeah,  then you hit me up for another $30 bucks for shipping.  Yeah.  Sure.  Guess what.  I’m not paying you.  That’s my new stand on it.  I’ll take your negative feedback for not paying and then explain it off by telling everyone what an ass you are.

Anyone else want to add on to this list?

As I sit here in my politically correct chair looking over to my holiday tree thinking of this magical holiday season and wishing all happy holidays. I can’t wait for next April so I can color spring eggs and look out for the spring bunny.

I recently generated a strongly but politely worded letter to my neighbor asking him to remove the utterly offensive Santa from his yard and take down the blinking sign reading Merry…….Oh I just can’t bring my self to say it.

Yeah whatever. As the self proclaimed Unsilenced Cynic I am taking this self appointed opportunity to declare self appointed war on political correctness. These holiday spring nuts need to get over it. It’s Christmas in my world. And I’ll say it. And I’ll say Easter and whatever else I want.

You can believe in anything, but  should I adjust my speech at the risk of offending someone by saying Easter Bunny?  Let me say it 5 more times Easter Bunny, Easter Bunny, Easter Bunny, Easter Bunny, Easter Bunny.

Wow what a rush, was it good for you?

Sadly we have arrived at a place where we, strike that some because we would include me. Some have arrived at a place where they are so damn scared of words or their own shadow for that matter.

If I walk up to someone and say “eat sh** and go fu** your self” that is offensive. I should know I’ve done it before.

If I say Merry Christmas and you happen to be Jewish then it’s not offensive. Jesus was Jewish too.

The Readers Digest version of that is there is a difference between saying Christmas and offending an entire race or culture. Or instead maybe we should all wear custom shirts with a screen-printed list declaring any word that may be offensive to us.

That is brilliant and once I incorporate this idea onto Snugies the world will finally know peace. And have sleeves! YEAH!

What if Halloween offends me? Should we change it to Autumn Candy? In fact Independence Day is offensive to the British. I like really hot fried chicken picnic day. HFCPD for short of course. And birthdays are very offensive to unborn babies. Happy day of emerging from the womb.

Nah how about you use common sense and just say what you want to say. After all I am…

Happy Whatever it is that you celebrate…

A  rant on the difference between send features in e mail.

SEND and SEND ALL.

Yes I realize they have the same exact starting word. Either way you are sending.

However pay particular attention to the second word of option 2. ALL. All encompasses anyone lucky (or not so much) to have their e mail address in the original message.

If person A sends 20 friends a “Merry Christmas” message great. Thanks for thinking of me. But to the other 19 recipients’ do not reply to everyone expressing your return gratitude.

It’s rather like a pyramid scheme. One person starts it and by the time we get to the bottom we have 200 people. That original person has established an unstoppable force that just keeps sucking in new people.

I get enough junk e mail telling me how I can get low cost prescription meds, or an all inclusive vacation, or ads suggesting I may have some size or functionality issues (if you catch my drift).  So amid all that other crap do I really need person’s A’s aunt from Boise or their ex-wives brother from San Jose replying to me as well? Nope because guess what… I don’t know who the hell they are and couldn’t pick them out of a crowd of 2.

SEND SEND-ALL boy that ALL is a tricky word.

While I am well aware of the issues facing workers who depend solely on tips and minimum wage,  (two sides of the story so to speak),  I found this incident pretty unbelievable.

We’ve all had a few incidents that have let us irritated.  From fast food servers in drive thru’s acting like they are doing you the honor of being served,  all the way to this incident…

There are days when I just don’t want to reply to a co-workers email when they ask me a dumb question. Whoever said “There are no such thing as dumb questions” must have been working with kindergartners and was trying to bolster their fragile egos.

Oh All-Knowing and Wise Magic 8 Ball, should I eat Captain Crunch or BooBerry Cereal this morning?

Driving home the other day, I decided to stop and pick up some fuel for the truck. So I found the best price, struggled and found a place at the pumps, and hopped out to swipe the card.
