that reminds me of a scottish joke.
an englishman, an irishman, and a scot are sitting at a bar one day when a swarm of gnats goes by. one gnat lands in each one of the men's pints.
the englishman flicks the gnat out of his beer, saying "please stay out of my drink, you little bugger."
the irishman sucks up the gnat and some beer, spiiting it out exclaiming, "away from my beer, ya pest!"
finally, the scot grabs the tiny gnat by the throat and shouts, "spit it out you wee fecker!!!!!"

Yes, say more. So then I can complain about my similar situation.Not pissed, just frustrated. Aging baby boomer dealing with set in their ways, hard headed aging parents. Need I say more?

WEELLL, dad has been in his upstairs bedroom for over two weeks with a (so he says) pinched nerve in his back. We want to move him to the downstairs bedroom so it would be easier on my mom. She now has to go up and down all day with his food and checking on him, etc. My dad is a very demanding man. Mom is losing lots of weight because of the stair thing and the stress. FINALLY, with the help of his sons-in-law, we move him and his bed downstairs today, but he's still giving us a hard time about going to the doctor. He IS going to go even if we have to push the wheelchair down the freeway ourselves!

Awww Linda, you are really caught in the middle aren't you. I had trouble with that after my dad died. Mom wanted to stay upstairs, but she had already fallen down the stairs with disastrous results. It took a lot of heated discussions to get her to put in a chair lift.
But I haven't had any luck at all convincing her that 13 indoor cats and 2 dogs is too many! It's wearing her out just taking care of that many! But she just took in 3 more! Argh!!!

Warning: Long Rant 
We went to pick up my DH's prescription sunglasses from the lens place, earlier today, and after a 45-minute wait (that wasn't entirely necessary, I might add), we finally get acknowledged by the associate.
Right as he called DH's name, indicating it was our turn to get some attention, this obnoxious woman (and her daughter) came bounding forward and interrupted the associate and my DH by demanding to be taken care of before us.
If that wasn't bad enough, the associate asked if my DH & I would mind waiting until he fixed the daughter's glasses. DH gave the associate a look that clearly translated into "I've already waited 45 minutes - she can wait".
The associate then juggled his priorities, obviously unprepared for any argument regarding the additional wait, and offered both my DH & the obnoxious lady the option to have both requests taken care of at the same time (thus lengthening our sunglasses pick-up due to the daughter's immediate need to have her glasses tightened)...the associate only had two hands.
Once both the daughter's glasses were tightened and DH's sunglasses were properly cleaned and ready to try on, the associate hands the obnoxious woman her daughter's glasses and says, "there ya go, ma'am...should be good as new".
The associate then immediately directs his attention to DH, who is visibly annoyed at the continued disruption. The associate polishes DH's sunglasses one last time before handing them over for DH to try on, and as he does this the obnoxious woman yells (from directly behind DH), "did you see all the scratches on her lenses?"
The associate, with the dear-in-the-headlights look, says "yes ma'am, I did attempt to smooth those scratches out...and as you can see, I got rid of most of 'em". The obnoxious woman wasn't please...she paused, giving the associate that angry-mother look before yelling (while standing directly behind me & DH), "these were supposed to be scratch-resistant - I need them fixed NOW!"
I begin to turn and glare at the obnoxious woman, as her daughter dances around the glasses-case rack (oblivious to how rude her mother is being), and the associate FINALLY says, "ma'am, I am currently helping this customer...please have a seat and I will be with you in just a moment."
The obnoxious woman was not pleased with that response and she grabbed her daughter's hand and storms out of the lens store. The associate then appologizes to DH and me about the interruption (that he should have handled right, in the first place), and handed DH the sunglasses and a glasses case to keep them in, and thanked us for our patience.
The moral of the story: Obnoxious people who (1) cannot wait their turn, (2) feel the need to interrupt, repeatedly, and (3) do not know how to behave in public situations, especially customer service situations, REALLY piss me off.

LOL love your story
in the northeast this is pretty much par for the course (the pure wretchedness of the folks where I grew up, suburban NYC, is shocking) Philly is pretty bad too on both sides of the service game but I always remeber TX with with rose colored glasses when it came to this stuff. Damn I cannot stand people who are a-holes in stores. Unfortunately many people simply think the entire world revolves around their BS

I know what you mean...they think the world revolves around them. It's kinda like the people who get in line to turn left at the light and then there are those who think that their time is more important so they pull way up in the lane next to the turn lane and put on their blinker trying to cut in....pisses me off.

As a former CSR (customer service rep), I quickly learned how to deal with selfish people from a service provider stand-point. I nip it in the bud ASAP.
I haven't experienced this behavior much as a customer, and so I waited (as patiently as I could) for the lens associate to shut that lady up. In my opinion, he took too long...but had he let her continue much longer, I was about ready to open a can of STFU on that woman.
I feel sorry for her daughter, who didn't seem surprised or embarrassed by her mother's rudeness...guess what she'll be like when she grows up.

Lets see... I am feeling pissy
My work fired (not laid off mind you) 2 people last week both people I liked. One I know why the other I have no idea (he was management I think he did or said something that cost us a job or relationship) the other was fired for continually sub par performance... once this was explained to me on an aside from a co worker I felt better because I thought she was just the victim of a bitch fest popularity contest.
anyway the message is clear.... in this economy they are in power and wont keep anyone they don't feel like having around.
now it looks like they are going to deny my August vacation request and I cant really bitch but it's like 3 days after a deadline so I really thought the timing would be good but they are freaking out because too many people are on vacation that week.
I am also pissed because I cant seem to get out of my own way. My kitchen is mostly done but the details are taking forever and I am just tired of living in a disorganized mess.
OK I am done AARGH I am just grumpy

ain't that the truth, panch. dark clouds are forming here too. i think they're re-reading the corporate standards and practices manual every day to see what they can blame on people to get rid of them.

I'm glad I don't have to deal anymore with assholes like you guys do. I make the rules for myself and change them as I feel like it. I work like a dog when I need to, and play like a kid when I feel like it. Yes, the six figure income was nice, but what the hell good is it if you live on Zantac and you're always wondering who the next asshole will be that will try to cut your throat while you sleep (In the ER twice in 6 months with chest pains....stress!). There will be a special place in hell for people who make other people's lives miserable just because they can. They will certainly be judged differently.
