It Doesn't Seem Right!

  • We tell our children not to talk to strangers, yet many older people (strangers) feel it is perfectly alright to speak to children.
  • Burger King says their hamburgers are better because they are flamed-broiled, but they microwave them before they are served.
  • Fourteen people lost their lives and two space shuttles were destroyed because managers were too concerned about falling behind schedule.
  • If smokers think cigarettes are so good, why are so many of them hanging out of the car window when they are driving?
  • Why are there so many labor-saving and/or time-saving appliances and power tools that take a significant amount of time to clean properly?
  • Many people, including myself, enjoy the convience of shopping and ordering on-line. But then we wait for several days for the object of our desires to be delivered.
  • In the State of Florida pregnant pigs have constitutional rights, but racing greyhounds have none.
  • Many businesses would fire employees that are as rude and unhelpful as the automated telephone systems that they force us to use.
  • I just spent 20 minutes waiting on hold. Every 30 seconds a recording said "Thank you for your continued patience your call is important to us...". How sincere can a recording be? How important can my call be if I have to wait 20 minutes?
  • If a professional person makes a mistake with something that should be obvious or simple for them are they incompetent or dishonest?
  • Why do some repair technicians think that they are smarter then the people who wrote the instructions for them to follow?
